Although Peter Denk played a key role in the technical development of Scott's bike line for years, the German engineer was not permanently employed by the western Swiss sporting goods manufacturer. His company Peter Denk Enigeering GmbH, based in Freiburg i.Br., worked on a contract basis for Scott. Peter Denk is currently remaining silent about his concrete future within or outside the bike industry. In the press release on the end of the collaboration, he merely writes that he is ready for new challenges. He does not give any reasons for the end of the collaboration, nor does Scott, who thank the developer for the many years of successful cooperation in their separate press release. Denk's signature will remain visible at Scott for some time to come. As the two companies announced, new models that he developed for Scott will also be launched on the market in 2008 and 2009.

Since 1995, Denk has developed countless models for Scott. The first child of the collaboration was the Vertigo DH fully, which appeared on the market in 1996, one of the first bikes with customizable geometry and variable suspension travel. All subsequent full-suspension bikes such as the Intoxica and the legendary G-Zero were also created on Denk's drawing board. With the Strike, Denk and Scott ushered in the lightweight construction wave in the bike sector and helped the frame material carbon achieve its final breakthrough. Further new developments such as the Genius, Ransom and Spark fullys as well as the Scale hardtail and the ultra-light CR1 and Addict road bikes followed at a breathtaking pace of innovation for the bike industry.
