Volcanic peaks, deep valleys, and impressive rock formations. The island of Santiago offers varied geographical features and diverse vegetation, making it perfect for adventurous mountain bike tours.

Squamish BC is an epicenter of Mountain Biking in North America, no doubt you’ve heard of it. But the question is: are there any trails or loops that haven’t been ridden by the committed locals or the hordes of summer visitors? Challenge accepted.

On the Westernmost front of Europe is Ireland, an island relatively unknown for what’s on offer to visiting MTB’ers.  Sounds like a perfect idea for a roadtrip of a lifetime!

With Versa, the goal was simple: to maximize the diversity of landscapes you can ride your bike — visually and geologically — in a 10 day road trip around BC, Canada.

Scotland might be small but as a Mountain Bike destination it’s mighty. The famous Fort William Downhill Track and Tweed Valley might have put the country on the mountain biking map but outside of these two destinations there is a lot more on offer. Scottish Mountain Biker and SCOTT athlete, Scotty Laughland shares his secrets in this dream road trip video from the North West all the way down to the Scottish Borders in the South - this is his ‘perfect’ 7 day road trip to get a taste of what MTB’ing in Scotland is like.

Every year during the summer we are faced with the same problem: Where can we go on vacation as a family so that everyone gets their money's worth? Lois wants bike park and jumps, Leni wants enduro trails, Karen wants a high alpine experience, and Holger? Holger just wants to go surfing. Our friends advised us that there was no place better than Valais, Switzerland. So off we went! And we were not disappointed.

Every year, the marketing team here at SCOTT is tasked with shooting a small (read: large) selection of our new products for the following year. Usually, we call this the catalogue shoot, and we do one for Road and one for MTB. When you look at a print ad, what you don’t see is what goes into it. Sometimes, they’re one-shot bangers, but often, there is a fair bit of blood, sweat and tears (of joy) that go into getting into a magazine or on an ad, and we thought it would be great to get you a look into that process.

What happens when Dean Lucas finds his world has been flipped upside down? He get’s to work, allowing nothing to derail his path to his ultimate goal: owning the top step. Watch Episode 32 of “Chasing Trail” now.

Chasing Trail has always been about sending our athletes to dream-worthy, exotic locations to shoot content that would make us want to dream. In these current times, however, that isn't possible. So we said, "wait a second!" All around the world, riders have been falling back in love with their locals, appreciating the ability to pedal from home and go for a rip. One of those very people is World Cup Downhill star Brendan Fairclough.

Andrew Neethling heads to Zermatt for the first time, and what he finds will be seared into his memory forever. Switzerland is truly a special place.

The Highlands of Scotland are famously known in the mountain bike world for the arduous Fort William Downhill World Cup track, long, tough and rocky. However, away from that there is a wealth of trails that remain undiscovered.

When thinking of Europe most of us think of big old cities, lederhosen and the Queen. But what barely comes to our minds are jungles, ancient forests, palm trees and volcanoes. On a continent that is so crowded that finding a free spot to put your towel by a lake is difficult, this is no surprise. Yet when you look, you can find just about anything – even volcanos.

Can you take a back country ski-touring approach, and apply it to a bike trip? We sent Kevin Landry and the boys deep into BC to find out. No Quarter tells the story of 5 guys heading into the back country with information from google maps and broken stoves, and shows the adventures they had aboard their SCOTT Genius's.

Cape Town might have some of the best riding on earth, at least that is what Andrew Neethling tells us. What do you think?

Scotty Laughland and Andrew Neethling riding in South Africa, enjoy.

A trip to Tehran and its backcountry has confronted Andrew Neethling and Holger Meyer with reality: together with locals, the well-travelled pros explored the pearl of Persia’s single trails — and experienced not just the country’s top-notch trail network, but also the warmth of its inhabitants. Their perception of Iran was turned completely upside down.

It's winter. The Pacific Northwest is cold and rainy. You want to ride bikes, and think that Utah might be the perfect destination. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Head to the desert with Kyle Jameson and Stan Jorgensen for some dry trail and all time adventure.

The Margus Riga approach to photography is pretty simple, get really good at taking photos and then ride faster than your pro rider friends. Estonian born, raised in Toronto, but shaped by Coastal BC (where he moved at the age of 18) his photographs are prolific, with a style that is unmistakable; you can recognize a Riga photo from a mile away. You can almost hear the sound of tires in his photographs sliding out on root snakes.

A journey through southern Africa's forgotten mountains.

Following The Horsemen is a film that not only highlights the potential of Lesotho as a new adventure destination, but also provides an invaluable glimpse into its heritage through the country’s iconic horsemen.

When Mattias (Fredriksson) called at the beginning of 2016, I could feel his excitement through the phone. He had an idea for our next catalogue shoot, and he had arguments to sell it: the fjords, the mysterious ever-lasting Scandinavian light and trails still relatively unknown to mountain bikers… It was enough to make us want to sign the deal.

Geoff Kabush is best known for traveling the world and tearing up the global cross-country racing circuit, where he rips around on a quiver of anorexic hardtails and short-travel XC bikes. But those who know him will tell you that that his heart and soul are rooted in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and Canada.

Head out to the fabled "Disneyland" zone outside of Squamish to ride some of the areas finest trails with Kevin Landry and Dustin Adams.

For Pro Skier Dane Tudor, Mountain Bike has become a summer staple. Taking a mountain bike to locations that he frequently visits in the winters, Dane shows us what it is to get lost, and to really feel the flow that the mountains have on offer. 

The Trippin Fellaz head to the Philippines in search of shred. Boy did they find it.
