Choice between a 2014 spark and a 2013/14 epic carbon comp for xc and marathon duties, both same price ish, what would you get, which have you had and would your rate them?
Which model spark?
I have a 29er Epic and my wife has a 29er Spark. Can't remember the exact models, but both carbon front end and ali rear. They are both great bikes, I really couldn't say which one is the best. The main difference is the Brain shock on the Epic vs the manual lockout on the Spark. The Spark lockout does work very well with no movement when locked out, however with the Epic there is no messing around with levers. Both bikes have been ridden in all sorts of stuff, from XC and 12hr races to trail centres.
Sorry that doesn't help much. See if you can get a test ride on both to see which suits you the best.
Thanks, spark 920 by the way....
