Schurter and Vogel continue with SCOTT-Swisspower MTB Racing Team



The two world-class mountain bikers Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel stay with the SCOTT-Swisspower MTB racing team for another four years. They signed until 2014. This will be a good base to reach future goals together, including the Olympic games in 2012.



The SCOTT-Swisspower team continues to build its powerhouse with the regaining world champion and Olympic medalist Nino Schurter and last years bronze medal winner at the world championships Florian Vogel. Both athletes are part of the team, which is under the wings of Thomas Frischknecht, since the very beginning. „ I like the good team spirit of the familiarly crew. The trust we have in each other makes me feel very comfortable. We have everything it takes to be successful. This is a fruitful base to be successful“ is Nino Schurter’s comment for his long-term commitment.

Another good reason is the equipment of the SCOTT-Swisspower team, which is world class as well. The Swiss stars can relay on the worlds lightest frame, the SCOTT Scale. With a weight of less than 899 grams it’s the benchmark of the industry.



At the World Cup race in Champéry World Champion Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel were riding the new Scale in a spectacular way.

Driven by the world's lightest carbon frame below 899 grams the guys ended up both on the podium. Vogel 1st, Schurter 3rd, with the new Scale they took the the short cut to the podium right away!

Watch out to the WC in Val di Sole and the lucky numbers, 899, the World Champions 899 grams of eXCellence!

Schurter, Vogel and the younger talents count on the fastest bikes, the experience of former world champion Thomas Frischknecht and the know how of well-known coach Nicolas Siegenthaler. This way they can focus on their goals.

„The concept of the team gives younger riders a chance to develop slowly and benefit of the experience of the team leaders. Nino and me were lucky to grow up in such an environment. Now it’s time to give something back and help the younger generation to develop. I’m exited to continue with this program for another four years“ stated Florian Vogel.

Along the two top riders the team will give four junior and under 17 a spot in the team.
