Thanks to state-of-the-art solutions in bike frame construction and carbon applications, Bold Cycles has won several prestigious awards - such as the Eurobike Award 2015 and the Design & Innovation Award 2016/2019.
 
"Bold is a promising start-up company with very passionate employees and a great vision. Their values and innovative spirit fit very well with Scott's culture," says Beat Zaugg, CEO of Scott, explaining the move. "In addition, we see great potential in Bold Cycles to serve a customer segment that wants to customize bikes to their own needs."
 
Vincenz Droux, passionate mountain bike enthusiast and multi-award-winning professional designer, will continue to lead Bold Cycles as R&D mastermind. He and his five employees will continue to run the company as an independent brand, but will receive strategic support from Scott in the areas of sourcing, logistics, global sales and marketing.
 
"An idea has grown into a technology, our passion has grown into a brand. With Scott, we have now developed a partnership that prepares us for the future in an exciting market environment," says Vincenz Droux, CEO of Bold Cycles. "With Bold, we want to continue to be at the forefront of innovation and surprise the bike world with new products. Within the Scott Sports Group, we find the best conditions for this objective and we will be able to concentrate even more on product development. At the same time, it remains our concern to maintain our independence and to stand up for it. We are delighted to have a strong partner at our side in Scott, who wants to continue and expand the path we have taken."
