What's people's view of the Spark 60 or the spark range in general? The spark 60 looks like a decent xc racer within my budget.

By the time march comes I'll hopefully have more than enough to upgrade parts or even go for the spark 50

  • Both are pretty good, a bit overpriced but a great ride however you need to use the lockout to get the most out of them.

    Great little trail bike/xc racer in my opinion.

    i have a spark 50 (2009) and i love it, it's great at climbing :)

    one thing though it's not really a bike for jumps so keep in mind what riding you'll be doing.

    Not even really small ones (say less than a foot)?

    I won't be doing any jumping on it, most of the trails I ride are suitable for hardtails, it's only if I decide I want to goto places like afan, I have the bike for it.
