A Crown For A King – Spark RC X N1NO

Bike Kingdom Lenzerheide takes a bow as Nino Schurter races one last time at the World Cup Lenzerheide with a special bike made for a king – the Spark RC X N1NO

Lenzerheide, Switzerland. After two decades of dominance, Nino Schurter lines up for his final World Cup race on Sunday in Lenzerheide. No athlete has shaped mountain biking more than the man we call the GOAT: a king of the sport whose victories, spirit, and relentless pursuit of excellence have defined an era.

To honor this farewell, his longtime partners, SCOTT and SRAM, have created a bike worthy of the moment. Its speed-inspired design is more than decoration — it is a tribute to Nino’s reign, to his record-breaking wins, world titles, and the inspiration he has given to riders everywhere. Built on SCOTT’s relentless innovation and SRAM’s cutting-edge performance heritage, this unique machine embodies the partnership that has powered Nino’s journey since 2007, from young talent to the undisputed legend.

To mark Nino’s historic career and close this tremendous chapter in the best possible way, Nino will be provided with this special rig to rule his last-ever World Cup race in Lenzerheide. Find out more about this unique bike below!

Inspired by Swiss colours, this unique frame design reflects what has shaped Nino’s history. Wild paint splashes cover the frame, illustrating his relentless pursuit of victories and symbolizing speed. Red paint appears to be washed off, unveiling what lies beneath, and the rainbow stripes pay tribute to the rider who has worn them more than anyone else, while the “Greatest Of All Time” inscription on the seat tube serves as a reminder—because there’s only one.

This unique rig celebrates not only Nino’s countless victories, as highlighted by the image inset over the rear shock, but also the unparalleled support over the decades of technical partners such as SRAM, RockShox, Syncros and MAXXIS, who dialed their components to perfection on this Spark RC X N1NO Special Edition.

WATCH NOW: A build for the history books

There are partners, teammates, rivals, and friends. All of whom have helped shape what the GOAT has achieved over more than two decades, and in some way, each holds a piece of that history.
But there’s one who has undeniably contributed an immeasurable part of the success of the fastest mountain biker on the planet: the daily wrench in the hands of the Greatest Of All Time himself, Yanick-The-Mechanic.

Known as one of the most skilled mechanics on the XC circuit, he has built countless rigs for Nino over the years, and this one definitely has a very special flavor.

In this edit, released 18th September 4pm CEST, watch as Yanick meticulously builds one last XCO rig for Nino’s final race in Lenzerheide.

Yanick has been working hard these past weeks to build what was just presented as a surprise to Nino, just in time before the World Cup madness kicks off tomorrow. Geek on the details below:
