In 1958, engineer and skier Ed Scott from Sun Valley, Idaho, invented a ski pole made of aluminum, which compared favorably with those made of bamboo or steel. On the basis of this success, the company started to produce many kinds of sports goods.
In 1970, Scott sold their first protection goggles for motocross riders; further motocross wear followed. Scott expanded to Europe in 1978, settling their headquarters in Fribourg, Switzerland and in 1989, Scott introduced one of the most significant innovations in the history of cycling to mass market – the clip-on aerodynamic handlebar.
The handlebar was strategically utilized by American Greg LeMond in his 1989 Tour de France win, when he beat Frenchman Laurent Fignon by nearly a minute in the 24.5 km final time trial.
For more than sixty years the Swiss sporting goods company with US american roots takes no shortcuts when it comes to innovation, technology and design of their products.
It is about the passion to do things the right way, for the right reasons. Say what you say, do what you do, ride where you ride because you love it.
