Rugged, feminine and aerodynamic. Scott's Contessa Signature collection was developed for women who attach particular importance to the look and performance of their bike and equipment. In addition to mountain bikes, gravel and racing bikes, Scott also offers matching and functional clothing and accessories from head to toe.
 

The power struggle is over: Beat Zaugg is no longer in office as patron at Scott. The South Korean majority owner Youngone has prevailed, but a compromise appears to be underway. A headhunting agency is looking for a new CEO for Scott.

Over the Easter holidays, the power struggle between Scott CEO Beat Zaugg and South Korean majority shareholder Youngone comes to a head. But that's not the end of it: the police even ride up to Scott's headquarters in Givisiez, Fribourg. Only now is it clear: the reason is allegedly armed South Korean security forces, the police were called by Zaugg.

The Swiss bike manufacturer announced that Scott CEO Beat Zaugg would be joining the company as Managing Director - on April 1st, no less. Not everyone recognized the news as an April Fool's joke, which is now causing confusion in the comment columns.

According to Juwon Kim from Scott's South Korean majority shareholder Youngone, Beat Zaugg has been dismissed without notice by the Scott Board of Directors. And the native of Bern, who has been at the helm of Scott since 1993, is no longer CEO. But Zaugg denies this and continues to work.

Scott patron Zaugg denies this: He is CEO of Scott. The report by Radmarkt.de is based on a PR article by Scott majority owner Youngone, in which he only had the opportunity to contribute his perspective at the end. Only this is certain at the moment: the house blessing between Scott and Youngone is definitely out of kilter, and the power struggle for the Scott leadership is probably underway.

One person is closely associated with the Scott brand - at least behind the scenes: Beat Zaugg. Since 2015, the Korean company Youngone has been the majority shareholder with more than 50 percent of Scott shares. The Board of Directors has now dismissed Beat Zaugg as CEO without notice in his absence.

Unique bikes are very popular at Scott: Nino Schurter will be riding a special edition of his Sparks for the Cape Epic. And the Genius has been refined by head tuner Dangerholm.

Jolly good news from Scott: The Voltage has just seen the light of day - a lightweight e-mountain bike with trail ambitions. The key data: 160 millimetres of suspension travel with a TQ motor.

Welcome to solitude! Sabine Schipflinger and Henna Palosaari rode their bikes across the Tusheti National Park and brought home a wonderful bikepacking film.

With Sven Landenberger, Khalid Sidahmed and Gian Bütikofer, the "Scott Davos MTB Project" presents three new U23 riders for the 2024 season. Sven Gehrig from Uri is the only remaining young athlete from last year's line-up.

Scott takes a tougher approach to enduro bikes and introduces the Ransom with a completely new suspension system. A six-bar kinematic system controls a horizontal shock absorber in the down tube and ensures a low center of gravity.

It's no secret that the bicycle industry is struggling with problems. Overstocked warehouses meet low demand, discount battles are the result, profits are collapsing - and bankruptcies are already the consequence. Scott Sports, based in Givisiez in the canton of Fribourg, has not remained unscathed by these developments. Scott's majority shareholder Youngone is taking countermeasures and providing the bike and outdoor specialist with a financial injection of around 150 million Swiss francs.

Scotty Laughland is an inveterate mountain biker. Safa Brian is at home on the road. What can bring these two guys together? Exactly, an e-gravel bike. In summery Saalbach, the two of them show what a proper e-gravel tour looks like. For Brian, it was even his first time on an e-bike.

The Scott DH Factory Team has strengthened its World Cup squad around Marine Cabirou and Dylan Levesque with two young and promising riders, British rider Ethan Craik and Portuguese rider Gonçalo Bandeira. Craik surprised with second place at the World Cup final in Canada and seven-time national champion Bandeira regularly rode into the top 20 in the World Cup.

Winter sports and cycling are by no means disciplines that merge seamlessly. But with enough fitness, tenacity and craziness, the crossover between gravel biking and ski touring works surprisingly well. In the film Ride to Ski, Henna Palosaari, Malva Björkman and Sami Sauri show their impressive adventure in the Dolomites.

Erin Huck is one of America's best mountain bikers, an Olympian and a mother. In the latter role, she was under the misapprehension that she could no longer be a racer. But the urge to ride races again could not be suppressed. "Team Huck Yeah" shows how motherhood and racing can be reconciled, as well as the challenges of this balancing act.

The 2023 season was a special one for the Scott-Sram MTB Racing Team, a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences that challenged the entire team to perform at their best. Starting with a training camp and first races in South Africa and the Cape Epic as the first highlight of the season, the team's plans were disrupted by bad luck and injuries. On the other hand, there were also historic triumphs to celebrate. In "2023: Level Up - The Scott-Sram Odyssey", the team looks back on an action-packed season.
 

When Dangerholm lends a hand, the result is elegant creations that are bursting with fine parts, exotic paintwork and light weight. This is exactly the case with his latest bike - but the name is surprising: the bike is called "Scott Scale RC Super Gravel" and has no drop bar, although the name might suggest it. Dangerholm calls it a "gravel-oriented" mountain bike.

At the 2022 World Championships in Les Gets, Schurter won his tenth elite title and completed the legendary "La decima". Now the World Championships in Glentress Forest will feature a full line-up of competitors: road stars Pidcock, van der Poel and Sagan will be vying for the rainbow jersey alongside the established mountain bike stars. But Schurter has a decisive advantage: probably the coolest bike.  

For the 2023 Mountain Bike World Championships in Glasgow, Kate Courtney has teamed up with World Bicycle Relief to support women in cycling. Her Scott Spark RC therefore shines in the unique WBR look.

When Dangerholm works on a Scott bike, the scales tremble with awe. But this time, the Swede is breaking the sound barrier. He is building an e-mountain bike with a TQ motor that weighs just 12.9 kilograms, and only 14 kilograms in a trail version. The passionately tuned Scott Lumen eRide probably holds the world record for the lightest e-mountainbike.

Scott is not only ahead of the competition with record winner Nino Schurter. The Swiss bike manufacturer is also first class in carbon bike construction. Scott's carbon expertise took a quantum leap forward 27 years ago with the Endorphin hardtail. To pay homage to this legend, Scott is reissuing the iconic hardtail. Predicate: For retro lovers something to revel in, for novelty aficionados something to dream about.

Who thinks of Ireland when they think of single trails? Probably not many, but that's about to change: Scott ambassador Scotty Laughland chases across the island in a road trip - and over trails that are well worth seeing.

Nino Schurter is the "Goat" Greatest of all Time! Scott has given him a special edition of the Spark RC in the box after the Lenzerheide Triumph ride. An eye-catcher that only exists once!

Custom builds are his specialty, Scott his favorite bikes - and mountain bikes his hobbyhorse. But the Swede can also do things differently: this time he gets the maximum out of a streamlined racing bike. It looks good and pretty fast.

Eight days, over 600 kilometers and 15,000 vertical meters - the Cape Epic is the toughest mountain bike stage race in the world. In this new film, Team Scott-Sram provides a behind-the-scenes look at how the drama unfolds from the moment the starting gun is fired for one of the most mentally and physically challenging weeks of the race.

How will Nino Schurter start the season? We can already tell: with a new Scott Spark RC, in the technically and visually outstanding World Champion Special Edition. In the accompanying clip, Scott's master craftsman Yanick Gyger shows just how much meticulousness and attention to detail goes into creating such a world champion mountain bike.

Jérémy Heitz from Valais is known for descending the steepest slopes with the minimum number of turns. To get to the starting point of his tours efficiently, he likes to use his e-mountain bike, he says. On this mission, he also has his paraglider and abseiling equipment with him. It all comes into play.

In Versa, the latest episode of "Chasing Trail", Joel Ducrot takes us on a ten-day road trip through British Columbia, Canada. The short film shows various facets of trail biking with breathtaking images that make you want to experience it for yourself right away.

After a year with Team VR Academy, 2021 Swiss downhill champion Yannick Bächler is moving up to the Scott Factory Downhill Team. The Fribourg native joins the team with downhill stars such as Marine Cabirou and Brendan Fairclough.

In 2021, Scott decided it was time to take the established Contessa bike series for women one step further. A dedicated team was formed, bringing together the voices of women of different nationalities, ages, experience levels and disciplines. Today, Contessa Signature is Scott's premium collection of bikes, apparel and equipment specifically conceived and designed for performance-oriented women.

With many years of experience in the sportswear sector and working with athletes around the world, the decision for Team Scott-Sram to partner with Scott Sports for their apparel was an easy one. Becoming an apparel supplier for the team is more than just a sponsorship for Scott. This development partnership aims to create high-performance apparel that meets the needs and demands of world-class athletes.

Perfect berms or wallrides don't grow in the forest. They are built - in this case by Vincent Tupin. And in winter, so that they can get going in spring. In "No Dig, No Ride", "Vinny T." shows exactly how much work goes into a trail, and ultimately into a bike clip.

Kate Courtney rolls into the 2023 racing season with the Contessa Scale RC: Scott's 30 years of carbon experience come together to push forward with every pedal stroke in the racing circuit. The hardtail also stands out visually: with the combination of metallic paint and a raw carbon finish.

Swedish tuning expert Dangerholm presents its latest work, which stands out from the crowd: this time it is not lightweight construction that dominates, but enduro suitability. Dangerholm focuses in particular on key elements such as suspension, brakes and wheels. But see for yourself.

The question of who will take Lars Forster's place on the Scott-Sram team has been answered: Filippo Colombo is leaving the BMC Racing Team and slipping into the colors of the Scott racing team. Alongside world champion Nino Schurter, Kate Courtney and Andri Frischknecht, the Ticino rider completes the team.

Thomas Frischknecht looks back on the 2022 season in his role as Team Principal at Scott Sram. The remarkable review begins with an astonishing statement. According to Frischi, you don't win the race on the day of the race. But by gaining confidence over months or even several seasons. If you want to relive how it went for Nino, Kate, Lars and Andri in 2022: This clip is a must-watch.

Nino Schurter won his first Elite World Championship title on a Scale in 2009 and Scott's premium hardtail has also been involved in major successes over the years. Now Scott is launching the latest Scale. Packed with all the experience gained from carbon processing, the bike not only comes in a new look, but is also lighter and improved with great attention to detail.

As soon as the new Scott Genius hit the stores, the all-mountain bike was put to the test at Ride: four weeks of tour research on the Canary Islands. The result: a thorough ride report and 27 new singletrail tours on Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

With the spectacular Lumen eRIDE, Scott is now also entering the lightweight e-mountainbike segment. The look of a normal mountain bike, an extremely quiet drive with 50 Newton meters of torque from TQ and 130 millimeters of suspension travel at 15.5 kilograms are a statement. But does the Lumen eRIDE 900 SL ride as spectacularly as it sounds?

Lumen is the name of the spectacular new addition to Scott's e-bike portfolio. Thanks to consistent system integration, it is almost indistinguishable from a non-motorized bike. The Lumen comes with 130 millimeters of suspension travel, the currently hottest lightweight drive with 50 Newton meters of torque and a 360 watt-hour battery. At just 15.5 kilograms, it is one of the lightest e-mountainbikes on the market.

In this new episode of "She's Out There;, freestyle skier Mathilde Gremaud takes us on her home trails and tells us what mountain biking means to her and her skiing career.

What began with the Scott Spark in 2021 is now being extended with its big brother, the Genius. For the 2023 model year, the shock on the all-mountain classic will also disappear inside the frame. The bike will also get more modern geometry values and a newly developed shock.

The Trail Storm jacket from Scott is equipped with "Polartec Alpha" insulation. A guarantee for high moisture absorption and good protection against the cold. The jacket is designed for biking, but has also shown its best side when used on the cross-country ski trail.

For the shorter days when the leaves start to fall and the cool wind sets in, Scott has developed the All Season Collection, which keeps you warm even on the coldest days. When designing the garments, care was taken to ensure that they are comfortable and increase visibility, but are also wind and waterproof. Whether on a road bike, mountain bike or gravel bike and whatever the season, Scott promises maximum comfort with the All Season Collection.

What do mountain biking and gravel have in common? Exactly, you can wear the same clothes. Scott takes advantage of this and presents a cross-genre clothing line. With the all-season wardrobe, you should be able to cut a good figure on your road, gravel or mountain bike at any time of year.

Brendan Fairclough likes to try things out. And he has an eye for special lines. Somewhere near the San Bernardino Pass, he has seen a slab of rock that he wants to ride. Fog and rain don't stop him, but they do show him the limits.

Gustav Gullholm, better known as Dangerholm, has completed his next work: The result is a Scott Spark RC that has been lovingly perfected down to the last screw. The goal achieved: to maintain the potency of modern cross-country bikes while skillfully pushing the weight down.

Just in time for the World Cup showdown in Lenzerheide, there was a new Scott Contessa Spark and new equipment for Kate Courtney from Scott-Sram. New colors, new gear - new everything, and it seemed to work. Courtney rode the beautiful bike to seventh place.
