And what's your opinion on the new Spark?
The new Spark is packed with race dedicated tech features, I couldn’t ask for a more race-optimized package. The new bike is not only unbelievably light and stiff, but it also pedals like a hardtail, I feel like the pedal efficiency is even better than on the old Spark. It really feels much more compact and easier to handle. What really suits my riding style is the much better kinematic of the new frame, which results in much better suspension. The bike is more sensitive at the beginning of travel but becomes more supportive from sag point onwards, with end stroke progression tuned for cross country riding.
