R.I.P. Scor? BMC takes a stand

Scor Trailbikes BMC 2021

BMC has announced that it will not be developing any new models for its subsidiary brand Scor. Is this the end of the trail bikes from Grenchen or are they just being put on hold? David Heine from BMC answers Ride's questions - including about BMC's cross-country bikes and the World Cup team.

What does the focus on gravel and road mean in concrete terms for the MTB division?
Road bikes have historically been our strongest category and we have also been able to supply many satisfied customers with our gravel bikes. We would like to develop our organization to focus more on these two areas. In concrete terms, this could mean a more in-depth offering - more models, more colors, etc. - a more specific event selection or sponsorship decisions.

Is BMC getting out of the development and production of mountain bikes?
No, we will continue to offer MTB models

Will BMC continue to field the BMC Factory Racing team with two riders and one female rider in the 2026 season? 
At the moment, we are still at the beginning of the 2025 season, so a lot can still happen in terms of sport. As things stand today, yes.

BMC is stopping the development of new models for the Scor trail brand. Will production of the existing models continue or will BMC also stop them?
At the moment we will not be introducing any new products. The inventory is still so large that we want to give retailers time to sell the existing goods. The supply of our existing and future Scor customers will continue as usual.

Is Scor coming to an end, or could the development and production of Scor bikes be resumed by BMC at a later date?
At the moment, we are not launching any new products on the market. We are observing the very dynamic market and are keeping all options open.

Is a sale of the Scor brand possible?
This falls under "all options".
