2017 Race Season Kicking-off
The World’s No. 1 XC MTB Team takes off into a new era with a strong set-up. We’re presenting new team members and partners just prior to Cape Epic.
“For me a dream came true- joining the World`s number one XCO Mountain bike team and racing alongside two Olympic Champions is indeed a privilege. I can’t wait to kick the 2017 season off with Nino Schurter.”
“I am overwhelmed by the amount of good vibes and messages I get from bike lovers all over the world, especially young women riders. That is a great inspiration.”
“Mountain bike racing at the highest level needs strong partners with an innovative product management and support. We`re glad to know the best brands of the bike industry are on our side for the next years.”
Stronger Partners, Faster Bikes
SRAM has been a great partner of the team since the very beginning in 2002. SRAM has committedfor a four year partnership through 2020. Now as a title sponsor, the partnership includes RockShox as the suspension partner as well.
The team has relied on fast wheels from DT SWISS for many years. The SCOTT Spark and Scale RC 900 World Cup bikes are now equipped with SYNCROS components. The choice of tires is MAXXIS. Nino already won the Olympic race on MAXXIS and with this strong brand there is for sure a great potential for developing great tires for the future. It has been many years now that the team is equipped with ODLO clothing on and off the bike. Also remaining as a long time sponsor is the Swiss credit card company CORNERCARD.
Alex Rafferty, SRAM PR & Marketing says: “From a SRAM perspective, we’re super excited to be further aligning ourselves with the most powerful, inspirational and decorated team in Cross Country racing. A team of current champions, and without a doubt future champions.”
“The passion for inspiring people is exactly what we stand for at SRAM. And, it’s the value and strength at the heart of both of our teams.”

“Jenny just told a great story about why she has such a passion for mountain biking. She loves to inspire riders, especially the younger generation who reach out to her. That passion for inspiring people is exactly what we stand for at SRAM. And, it’s the value and strength at the heart of both of our teams.
Cross country racing has always, and will always be one of the cornerstones of our passion for mountain biking. It’s a discipline that encourages people into the sport. It’s the local series in your region back home, the national series in each country, the World Champs, and the Olympic Games. It’s the Formula One of our sport. We’re fully committed and 100% behind the SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing Team.”
