Because of him, Scott bikes look the way they do today

Vincenz Droux initially housed the dampers in the frame with his own brand Bold. His company then rolled under the Scott umbrella. And there, the shocks are now invisible on a large number of mountain bikes. But now Droux is leaving the Scott company.

Vincenz Droux has decided to leave the Bold Cycles brand, which he founded in 2015, and its current parent company Scott, to pursue new paths. Scott Sports acquired a majority stake in Bold in 2019.

After almost ten years of brand building and product development, with integration into the Scott Sports Group and model maintenance, the time is right for a new direction, as Droux himself announced. The site in Biel will be closed, while the Bold brand will remain at Scott's headquarters in Givisiez.

"We had the best team ever. I would like to thank my colleagues who helped build the brand and gave it quality, face and soul. The team members from Biel are breaking new ground and I wish them all the best," Droux continues.

Scott recently made some big headlines. Long-time CEO and company patron Beat Zaugg had to vacate his executive chair in April 2024, and the search for a CEO began in May 2024.
