Nino Schurter's "crown" for his last World Cup
After two decades of dominance, Nino Schurter competes in his last World Cup race on Sunday in Lenzerheide. No athlete has shaped the sport of mountain biking more than the man we call the "GOAT" - the Greatest of all time. Schurter is a king of the scene whose victories, spirit and tireless determination have defined an entire era.
To mark his farewell, his long-standing partners Scott and Sram have created a race bike that does justice to this moment. The design is far more than just decoration, it is a tribute to Schurter's reign, his record-breaking victories, world championship titles and the inspiration he has given to riders worldwide. Built on Scott's relentless innovation and Sram technical excellence, this custom build embodies the partnership that has shaped Nino's journey since 2007 - from young talent to undisputed legend.
To honor Nino's extraordinary career and bring this chapter to a dignified close, he will compete in the Lenzerheide World Cup on this special bike.
Inspired by the Swiss colors, the frame design reflects what has shaped Nino's story. Wild splashes of paint cover the frame, representing his tireless will to win and symbolizing speed. Red paint appears washed off, revealing the core underneath. Rainbow stripes are a reminder of the rider who wore them more often than anyone else, and the inscription "Greatest Of All Time" on the seat tube is a clear statement - because there is only one.
This unique piece not only celebrates Nino Schurter's countless successes, as the picture above the shock underlines, but also the decades of support from his technical partners such as Sram, Rock Shox, Syncros and Maxxis, who perfected their components down to the last detail to bring the "Spark RC X N1NO" Special Edition to the highest level.
These are partners, teammates, rivals and friends who have helped to write the history of the GOAT. But one person has undeniably made a decisive contribution to the success of the world's fastest mountain biker: Yanick the Mechanic, the daily wrench at Nino's side.
Known as one of the most skilled mechanics on the cross-country circuit, Yanick Gyger has built countless bikes for Schurter over the years, and this one bears a very special mark.
"Having the honor of building Nino's special bike for his last World Cup race in Lenzerheide was an unforgettable moment for me. To be honest, it's one of the best designs I've ever had the pleasure of building," says Yanick Gyger, chief mechanic of the Scott-Sram MTB Racing Team.
