Fork
The Fox Factory Float 34 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 120mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the FOX NUDE Trunnion SCOTT custom w. rear shock model, which has a travel of 120mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels

Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Scott Spark 700 Premium is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This bike is available in 3 sizes. They vary from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Scott Spark 700 Premium comes with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
