SCOTT Sports has extended its partnership with the SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing team by becoming official apparel supplier for 2023 and beyond.
The development of the new team kit for SCOTT-SRAM is the result of a partnership that started more than 20 years ago. Over the years, SCOTT has been developing bikes and equipment for the team and is now expanding its role with team apparel.
“In over 20 years of partnership with SCOTT, we have always been closely involved in the development process of new products by sharing the same drive for innovation and technology,” said Thomas Frischknecht, Team Director at SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing. “So, we’re more than happy now to bring this to the next level with apparel in 2023.”
Reto Aeschbacher, CMO at SCOTT Sports, said “SCOTT has been developing technical riding apparel for many years. It’s a great step to now work together with our team SCOTT-SRAM and their world-class athletes to develop performance apparel products and showcase SCOTT’s innovation and technology at the highest level.”
The new SCOTT-SRAM apparel collection was developed as part of SCOTT’s Racing Concept (‘RC’) capsule. Team athletes have the choice between specific kits oriented to support them in their performance and training.
Aerodynamic cuts are combined with the latest apparel technologies and fabric innovations to create specific products for different uses and weather conditions. The ultralight race kit has an open-mesh fabric for races such as the Cape Epic. An Aero Kit with a custom-made fabric is for racing hard and fast, and a Training Kit is designed for everyday use on longer training days.
An updated team roster features new addition Filippo Colombo among Nino Schurter, Kate Courtney and Andri Frischknecht for the 2023 racing season.
