Nino’s Scott Spark RC 900 is a real beauty, with amazing finishing touches and attention to detail everywhere you look.
We’ll let the pictures do the talking.

The Champion alright…

A 38 tooth SRAM Eagle chainring would be too hard to push for you, or I.
A neat touch, the little Nino character tucked away behind the seat tube.
That is right, only 9.38kg as seen here.
Nino swapped to a 29″ wheel Spark and Scale mid last year ahead of the Rio Olympics, which he won. He’s never raced a 27.5″ Spark since. A 90mm stem with massive negative rise helps the position he needs.
Slammed enough?
The move from DT Swiss to a complete SRAM bike meant RockShox for the champ.
The Twinloc lever toggles the rear shock travel amount, lock and also the fork compression adjustment with one lever.
A de-stickered FOX Nude shock is not an ideal scenario for the SRAM rider, though RockShox would surely be developing a shock to suit the bike.
DT Swiss carbon wheels with gold spoke nipples, so trick.
Gold SRAM XX1 drivetrain, of course.
2.1″ Maxxis Aspen tyres.
