Scott

Scott

Scott is an international brand based in Givisiez, Switzerland, with a longstanding reputation for innovation. Since the very beginning, the brand sought the technological edges that push athletes to new performance levels. Their story began in 1958, when they became the first company to produce aluminum ski poles—a major upgrade over the era’s bamboo and steel poles. Since then, breakthroughs have continued across a wide array of sports, including mountain biking, gravel biking, road biking, and skiing. Scott’s engineers and designers hew to the motto “No Shortcuts.” Accordingly, every product reflects their meticulous approach to research, design, and development. They’re always questioning and rethinking what’s possible to push the boundaries of sports equipment. That’s why legends like Greg LeMond and Nino Schurter have relied on Scott’s state-of-the-art gear to repeatedly reach the top of their sports.

Scott Technology

Scott designs advanced gear and apparel for skiing and cycling that’s trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike. From World Cup–winning mountain bikes to aerodynamic helmets and ultra-grippy cycling shoes, every product expresses a relentless drive to innovate.

TwinLoc 2

This technology allows riders to shift between three suspension travel and geometry settings based on the terrain with a cockpit-mounted controller. Descend mode fully opens the front and rear shocks for maximum travel to absorb vibrations and bumps as you rip downhill. Traction control mode limits rear travel to handle rolling terrain that requires both pedalling power and some shock absorption. As the name suggests, lockout mode locks out the fork and rear shock for the most efficient power transfer on less technical climbs and forest roads.

Sticki Rubber

Scott mountain bike shoes feature Sticki Rubber outsoles. They provide outstanding grip on rocks and roots when you need to dismount to walk or run.

HMF Carbon Fibre

Scott’s engineers developed an optimal orientation and sizing in the carbon fibre layup to maximize strength and keep the frame weight low. HMF (high modulus fibre) carbon fibre delivers the perfect blend of stiffness and compliance for smooth, responsive riding.

Integrated Suspension

Integrated suspension places the rear shock inside the frame, creating a sleek, minimalist look and improved aerodynamics. It also minimizes lateral movement during compression for more efficient power transfer. Larger pivot bearings and a refined linkage system make the suspension smoother and more responsive. The shock placement lowers the bike’s centre of gravity, enhancing stability and handling.

Sustainability: Re-Source Program

Scott’s innovations go beyond performance. The company also focuses on practical ways to reduce their impacts on the planet. Their Re-Source program is built around making smarter material choices—from recycled plastics to bio-based fibres, such as castor bean oil. To qualify for the label, products must meet strict sustainability thresholds with third-party verification and be free of harmful PFC-based coatings.
