Thomas Frischknecht's jersey order was extremely extensive this year. With the world champion, Swiss champion, Dutch champion and Swedish champion jerseys, there was a whole series of special orders to be made. The jerseys are distributed fairly among the team members Nino Schurter, Andri Frischknecht, Michiel van der Heijden and Jenny Rissveds.

Since their invention in the '70s, mountain bikes have undergone enormous development: A multifunctional bike has become a high-tech piece of sports equipment. Recently, Scott has also launched special women's bikes with adapted geometries, components and suspensions for each of these categories.

The Scott-Odlo team with Nino Schurter, Andri Frischknecht, Thomas Frischknecht and Michiel van der Heijden traveled to South Africa a few weeks ago for training and photoshoots. A closer look at the team's bikes and the rides in the Stellenbosch area.

With the "Trail Protect FR 16", Scott offers a one-size-fits-all backpack with an external back protector. Numerous fixation and storage options, 16 liters of volume and a high-quality finish make the enduro pack convincing at first glance. Reason enough to subject the "Trail Protect FR 16" to a practical test.

It was clear that Troy Lee Design would not use the Fashion Days in New York to present their new collection, but it was probably down to models Brendan Fairclough and Olly Wilkins to test the clothes in the dirt like this. This is exactly how every fashion show should be.

Remy Absalon has known for a long time that biking in winter is also possible without a fat bike. If there isn't a meter-thick layer of snow, the home trail becomes a totally new experience and is great fun to boot.

Scott is convinced of the medium-width tires and currently offers six models with the plus tires. Whether the top model "Genius 700 Tuned Plus" with 130 millimetres of travel and the more voluminous tires also convinces us and brings a fat fun plus to the single trail - the test reveals the answer.

In an interview with Südostschweiz, the cross-country world champion announced that a special bike is being developed for him again for the Olympic Games in Rio. But what technologies are likely to be used on the test-tube course on August 21?

Paul Basagoitia injured his spinal cord in his fall at the Rampage. A donation page was opened to cover the costs of his rehabilitation. There are now six frames donated by Scott Sports to be won on this page - for the good cause of raising money for Paul's rehabilitation, of course.

The reigning cross-country world champion Nino Schurter is extending his current contract with Scott until 2020, taking the wind out of the sails of rumors that he will switch to the road after the Olympic Games.

Beat Zaugg, co-shareholder and CEO of Scott, is investing in outdoor specialist Transa as majority shareholder. Zaugg wants to contribute to Transa at a strategic level without being directly involved in day-to-day operations.

Ride already ran the headline "Two thirds road bike, one third mountain bike" and bike manufacturer Scott followed up with a fitting description: "Gravel is the enduro of road biking". This refers to racing bikes with wide tires and comfortable suspension that are efficient and lightweight - but also cut a fine figure on unpaved roads. Scott has supplies for the trend.

Bergamont is changing hands: The Hamburg-based bike manufacturer has been under the BMC umbrella since 2008, but now BMC is parting ways with Bergamont. From now on, Scott Sports will manage Bergamont's business as the new owner.

Scott-Sports presents four new Plus Bikes at the product launch in Massa Vecchia, with a total of eleven models. Wider tires, wider hubs, more tire clearance and more grip. Here you can find detailed information on the top models.

After the innovations around the 29-inch and the slightly smaller 27.5-inch wheel sizes, the next step now follows. Scott presents four new types in the plus sizes. From hardtail to e-bike to freerider. Ride has already carried out the first test rides.

The "Tuned" version of the Genius 700 has a bold, Formula 1 look. The orange lettering shines out of the black carbon frame. The same color is also used for the rims, saddle and cockpit. The carbon frame is straightforward and, as expected, very cleanly finished. With the lightweight Syncros carbon wheels as well as the cockpit and saddle from the same company, the Genius also has first-class specifications. The latter is enthroned on a Reverb Stealth seatpost from Rock Shox.

Beat Zaugg embodies Scott like hardly anyone else. Born in Bern, he was the sole shareholder of the company from 2005 to 2013 and has now sold 50.01% of the shares to the Youngone Group from South Korea. Ride spoke to Scott CEO Zaugg about global financing, self-determined work, Switzerland as a business location and the currency crisis.

A helmet at Scott is affected by a recall because it does not meet the standards of a helmet testing norm. At Zipp, hubs are being recalled because a safety ring is failing and all spokes could jump out of their anchorage.

The ownership structure of the bike manufacturer from Givisiez is changing: The South Korean company Youngone had already acquired a first tranche of Scott's shares in 2013, and now the outdoor specialist is becoming Scott's majority shareholder with 50.01 percent.

The Scott-Odlo MTB racing team is coming up with something new at the end of the season.

The compact program contains background information on athletes and bikes as well as push news from the race course.

During the grand tours, pictures of riders badly bruised from crashes are constantly making the rounds. Swiss bike and accessories manufacturer Scott now wants to protect riders better with clothing with an integrated protection function.

Scott and Davos offer the opportunity to test the Genius LT extensively on the best trails in the Alps.

On the weekend of June 1, thieves outwitted the security systems of the warehouse at Scott's headquarters in Givisiez, Fribourg. A large number of expensive bicycles were stolen, with a retail value of almost one million Swiss francs.

As of January 1, 2014, the brand rights of the ski and freeride clothing brand Powderhorn will be transferred to the bike and sporting goods manufacturer Scott. The distribution rights will remain with distributor Chris Sports as before.

The French enduro star Rémy Absalon seemed to be practically married to the Commençal brand. Now it has been announced that Absalon is switching brands and will be chasing podium places on Scott bikes for the next three seasons from 2014.

The thoroughbred road racer Addict returns to the Scott portfolio - with not a gram too much. The manufacturer from Givisiez promises a weight of around 720 grams for the frame and a modest 270 grams for the fork. This keeps the needle on the scales well below the 1 kilo mark and puts Scott well ahead in the competition for the lightest series frameset.

As expected, Scott will be completely revamping its Genius series for the 2013 model year. The conventional wheel size will no longer be used and the new Genius will only be available with 27.5 or 29-inch wheels. Tempi passati is also the previous suspension system with the Pullshock suspension strut.

Next week, Scott will be presenting its 2013 model line, with the focus likely to be on refreshing the Genius line. After the World Cup successes with Nino Schurter, it is also assumed that the 650B (27.5 inch) wheel size will be introduced. The first pictures and rumors have now surfaced on the internet that Scott will no longer be offering 26-inch bikes from 2014.

After 29er bikes, is another wheel size making a breakthrough? Nino Schurter won the World Cup opener on 650B wheels, an intermediate size between the conventional 26-inch and the trendy 29-inch wheels.

The first pictures of a new downhill bike from Scott emerged last week. It is probably the successor to the Gambler. Scott is still keeping a low profile regarding the new bike.

Scott Sports announces the acquisition of Syncros from previous owner Ritchey, with the goal of turning the heritage brand into a major player in the parts and accessories market. Syncros was founded in 1986 as a small high-end component label on the Vancouver North Shore. After its heyday in the early 1990s as one of the hottest names in bike components, turbulence followed for the iconic company.

Geoff Kabush is considered one of the shining lights in international cross-country sport. Now the Canadian is switching teams and will be under contract with Scott in future. However, he will not be housed with Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel at Scott-Swisspower, but will become a key member of the "Scott 3Rox Racing" team.

Claudio Caluori and his downhill team "Scott11" have long been the most successful World Cup team in the women's downhill, and now he is also taking a massive step forward in the men's team by bringing in Englishman Brendan Fairclough. Swiss champion Nick Beer is no longer in the line-up.

As expected, Scott will be relaunching its Spark cross-country bike for the 2012 model year. The frame has been completely redesigned and the suspension travel increased to 120 millimeters. The Spark is also available in a version with 29-inch wheels.

Scott Sports will manufacture all carbon frames and forks in a brand new facility in South East China. The first product to be manufactured in the facility is the Scott F01 Aero road bike, which has already been successfully tested during the Tour de France.

Scott is replacing its "Ransom" model with a "Genius LT" for the coming season. With up to 185 millimetres of lockable suspension travel, the aim is to set a new standard in the all-mountain sector. The abbreviation LT stands for "Long Travel" or "Light Travel".

Scott takes back the lead among the lightest mountain bikes. For the 2011 model year, they have slimmed down their Scale hardtail by a whole 100 grams. The frame weight of 899 grams is also the brand name and is now called "Scale 899". The entire bike should weigh 7.7 kilograms in the top version available for purchase.

The Scott-Swisspower MTB Team's timetable for the season is already underway: good results at the Maremma Cup in Tuscany and flawless new equipment. In Tuscany, Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel not only showed off their rear wheels to the competition, but also their new outfits. The Scott-Swisspower team has been re-clothed from head to bike.

Specially for the "Urge Nepal" freeride race, downhiller Sam Peridy has designed a Scott Genius together with Scott and other sponsoring partners.

It's like breaking a taboo for the bike industry: Scott, one of the leading bike brands in Swiss specialist retail, will be supplying bikes, clothing and accessories to selected branches of sports retailer Ochsner Sport in the coming season.

Scott is launching a new mountain bike for the coming season for use in bike parks and freeride trails. "Voltage FR" is the name of the new kid on the block and is a versatile robust bike. Depending on the setup, the suspension travel is between 135 and 180 millimetres. The wheelbase can be changed using the interchangeable dropouts, allowing the bike to be freely adapted between slopestyle, freeride and downhill orientations.

Light becomes lighter - Project Scott Genius: Lightweight construction fetishist Sebastian Roth has completed a new project - this time the starting point was a carbon Genius LTD frame with 150mm travel, which already weighs just 2250 grams in the standard version.

With Nick Beer and Emilie Siegenthaler, the two Swiss downhill champions are moving to Scott. Claudio Caluori will take over the team management.

Can a bike be better than one that won medals at the Olympics? Anyone looking for such a racing machine will find it in the RC Concept from Scott. In addition to the replica of Nino Schurter's bike in China, Scott's new line includes three other competition bikes for different purposes.
