Steinmaur, Switzerland. The two riders on SCOTT-SRAM who have a heart for cyclo-cross racing had a short but successful pre-season stint of racing skinny tires off-road in ankle-deep mud. Due to COVID, the Swiss cyclo-cross season was shortened drastically. This left Lars Forster and Andri Frischknecht only two opportunities to test their skills against the die-hard CX specialists. In Meilen, Switzerland on January 2nd, SCOTT-SRAM claimed 2 podium spots, with Lars Forster in 2nd, and Andri Frischknecht in 3rd position. Hopes where high for a repeat as the Swiss National Championships stepped off only a week later!

“This were indeed very tough conditions. But that’s cyclo cross! This sport happens outside! Apart of the running sections I actually enjoyed playing in the mud and with the outcome I’m more than pleased.”

Welcome to our new partners BOA and HCK Miconutrients
We are excited to announce two new partners to the SCOTT-SRAM Team. Both of them add huge value to the needs of the athletes and will help us reach the next level.
BOA Fit System
The lightweight and durable BOA® Fit System is purpose-built for performance, engineered to improve the connection between the rider and their equipment. Allowing for instant micro-adjustments on the fly, the performance fit system ensures a precise, custom fit no matter the conditions. BOA is featured on products across many categories such as cycling, snowboarding, trail running, mountaineering, golf, court sports and workwear.
HCK -Tailor- made miconutrients
Every person is unique. This is also true for their micronutrient requirements. Our bodies’ needs depend upon numerous factors (age, gender, stress, nutrition,..). Due to these essential factors, attempting to determine the ”average“ micronutrient requirements for all people is impossible. Although it is possible to selectively calculate micronutrient needs, and deficiencies for an individual.
Hepart Group with HCK stands for individual advice and implementation. Because every person has a different metabolism and a correspondingly individual need for micronutrients, individual metabolism profiles are created in an own laboratory, the Institute for Applied Biochemistry (IABC).
On this basis, customers receive an HCK® micronutrient mixture that is precisely tailored to their individual needs. More than 100 different granulates make HCK® the epitome of personalized micronutrient supply. With its individual substances, tailor-made recipes can be created.
HCK® micronutrients contain vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and amino acids that are incorporated into a purely vegetable hydro-colloid matrix. The assessment of raw materials according to strict, carefully defined selection criteria is the basis for the high quality of HCK® micronutrients.
