Running Athlete's Insights: Favorite Products
Each of our running athletes has a favourite SCOTT product. Read who is in love with the Kinabalu and who with the Race Rocker – and most importantly why.
The Scott T2 Kinabalu is one of the best trail running shoes. It is multi-terrain, lightweight and well designed, Adam Kovacs.
On the trails I almost exclusively use the T2 Kinabalu and this has got me through multiple 100-milers really effectively. The tougher the terrain is, the better, since it’s got the perfect balance of cushioning, flexibility and grip for the trails. I feel like I can run over technical, sharp rocks without worrying about hurting my feet, but it’s also fine for running on the short road sections that most long races have to incorporate at some point, Ian Sharman.
My favorite SCOTT product is the T2 Kinabalu as a shoe and the SCOTT AMT Windbreaker jacket. The Kinabalu is the shoe I always dreamed to run in since I am a mountain runner. Lightweight, soft, and with the great response of the Kevlar plate in the midsole. The AMT Windbreaker jacket is my best companion every time I go out for a run and I don’t know if the weather will be good or not. It’s essential, and suitable when you are warm and when the wind blows strong against you! Can’t go out without it! Marco De Gasperi
My favorite product is the SCOTT T2 Kinabalu shoe. For me it is important to have a lighter shoe for racing but still with cushioning and a quick transition from tread. All these qualities are combined in the shoe Kinabalu, also with great traction on technical grounds and a great response to fast rhythms. I love my T2 Kinabalu! Pablo Villa
I have so many favorite products, especially my green SCOTT T2 Kinabalu and my SCOTT Obsess ACS sunglasses, Simona Staicu
That’s a difficult question, because I like all the SCOTT shoes. I am a fan of the eRide technology with a high midsole that allows an excellent flow. On shorter distances I use the SCOTT Race Rocker, in the mountain marathons the T2 Palani shoe (the new model). The T2 Palani combines a low weight (230 g) with good cushioning and grip, Gerd Frick.
The SCOTT TP 10 Trail Pack is one of my best companions when it comes to longer distances. Drinks are always at hand and also water to cool your body down which is equally important and you have always space for some food and other gear, Stephan Wenk.
My favorite SCOTT product is the SCOTT Trail Rocket shoe, which I use for most of my training as well as in races. It’s lightweight and versatile over almost any terrain - even feels great on the roads - and it allows me to be light and quick on my feet while the AeroFoam provides great cushioning mile after mile, Ryan Bak.
I have to pick one!? It depends on the season and the sport as I’ve come to expect awesomeness out of any SCOTT products. For racing fast the SCOTT Race Rocker shoe is the way to go! It’s light and supportive and allows the foot speed for personal best runs, Kevin Everett.
The SCOTT Trail Rocket shoe, because it has a great fitting and a great grip. For me it’s the best trail running shoe you can get. With this shoe you have competative feeling every day, Fabian Alraun.
My favourite SCOTT product is the SCOTT Race Rocker shoe. I love this shoe, as it is very light. You can go everywhere with it. In the mountain, it allows you to feel free, and to go up and down very fast. The sole is flexible and has small cramps to have a good precision. Moreover, the colour is very delightful, Celine Lafaye.
