Scott Spark 40 vs Merida 96 3000D alu

[DMD 1]

Rather save a bit more and get a Moorwood Zula . Simple yet brilliant.

 

Better yet buy the frame a rebuilt with your old bike parts. Thats what I did.

SpoonZa. You really have narrowed the choice down to 2 great bikes. both that competes for podiums and often gets them in international races and world champs. Its been won on a 96, its been won on a Spark, and Spez.

other brands have yet to prove themselves. both bikes have race pedigree.

But like i said and Wapad has advised, the 96 gives a hard ride, it mimics a hardtail very well, and just takes the edge out of back pain.

The Spark also a race bike,brilliant riding with a bit more travel.

Kevin Evens personal bike, the one he bought with his personal money. SCOTT SPARK. Sauser has one , Sahm has one .

Both brilliant bikes.

After my afternoon post to you, i took my spark 40 ( grey one with Dynasys groupo) out to Tokai.

I got home feeling very very satisfied, it was just right, everything about that bike is just right

im very happy with mine
