SCOTT Partners with Team Sunweb for 2021
A shared passion dedicated to make a difference in professional road racing leads to exciting partnership between SCOTT and WorldTour Team Sunweb.
From the 2021 season onwards, the athletes of Team Sunweb's Men, Women and Development Programs will race on SCOTT bicycles. The iconic, Swiss-based global bike brand with American heritage and the WorldTeam today proudly present their partnership. SCOTT's world-class engineering team has designed some of the fastest road bikes to date and is fully committed to the pursuit of new standards for road, aero, and time trial bikes.
Likewise, Team Sunweb's DNA is set in its distinguished elite sports approach that has built a reputation as the "Keep Challenging" model. This model is visually illustrated by its iconic central two stripes on the race kit. These two ever-rising stripes reflect the passion to always keep improving, one stripe to show the continuous progress of the athletes and specialists, and the other stripe to reflect the continuous development of the modern performance environment in which they operate. This is well-aligned with SCOTT's ''NO SHORTCUTS'' approach to always strive for new ways to make their bikes faster.
SCOTT's new global headquarter is located in Fribourg, Switzerland.
For the global high-performance bicycle brand and the pro road cycling team to come together one day was somewhat of an inevitable given. The team’s focus on every detail obviously also includes the choice of the best road bikes out there. SCOTT’s passion to design bikes which make the difference is a natural fit to a team with such an eye for detail.
In its pursuit of success in Grand Tours, classics and sprints, the team will race next year SCOTT’s Addict RC for climbing and lumpier races, the SCOTT’s Foil for sprint races and the SCOTT’s Plasma for time trails, all equipt with Syncros components. SCOTT’s sister company, Syncros is a bicycle component and accessories brand built on the principle of obsessive, precise design, and production through their in-house engineering and design team. Team Sunweb will ride the latest road one-piece cockpit, the Creston iC SL on their Addict RC and Foil bikes with intelligent internal cable routing and ergonomic focused design.
| "We are confident that this partnership will deliver from the start some fast, exciting and successful racing with the Men, Women and Development programs. Our engineering team is looking forward to working closely with Team Sunweb's engineering and biomechanic experts to integrate their input and feedback in the development of the next generation of our road bikes." "After nine years with GreenEdge Cycling / Mitchelton-SCOTT, we believe it was time for a change and we found in Team Sunweb the ideal partner for a new start,'' says Pascal Ducrot, Vice-President of SCOTT Sports. "They are one of the leading WorldTeams with a very young and ambitious team, but most of all they share that absolute determination to use every single day to get better with us; the team does so on the bike, whereas we do so with engineering and developing new technology to build the fastest bikes out there. |
It's a great honour for our riders to race SCOTT bikes. And it's a privilege for our experts to work alongside SCOTT's engineering team on their continuous journey to keep revolutionizing road bikes."
