Overview of components
Fork
The Spark Contessa 930 comes factory-installed with the RockShox Judy fork. This has a travel range of 120mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the X-Fusion NUDE rear shock model, which has a travel of 85mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Spark Contessa 930 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Spark Contessa 930 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. 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, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
Dropper post
Scott Spark Contessa 930 includes 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.
