KOLKATA: SCOTT Sports has launched the Scott Spark RC 900 in India, one of the most iconic mountain bikes ridden by Swiss XC legend Nino Schurter who won the gold medal back in 2016 Rio Olympics and Kate Courtney, the winner of the women’s UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2018.

For those who follow cycling especially cross country mountain bike racing, Nino is considered as one of the greatest of all time having won the Mountain Bike World Championship a record eight times, six overall Mountain Bike World Cups & two Cape Epic titles. So, to have the access to purchase this premium and the iconic bike is a lifetime opportunity.

The Spark RC 900 is superlight & super aggressive with full suspension and equipped with top of the line components. It features SCOTT’s twin lock suspension setup, a 12 speed SRAM Eagle drivetrain that takes care of any sort of climb thrown at it, Shimano brakes for ultimate stopping efficiency especially on the descends and an integrated bar and stem combination from Syncross for absolute cruise control in handling. Such high-end specs can only boost the rider’s confidence from the very beginning. The bike comes with a price tag of INR 3,69,900.

The official statement came from the Country Manager of SCOTT Sports, Jaymin Shah a few days back. He said, “We have seen unprecedented demand in premium bicycles over the last few months While fitness is the key driver, a lot of demand is specific to performance & high-quality components and these bikes cost anywhere between Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 10 lakhs.

“At SCOTT, we always believe in bringing the best in innovation, technology and design to someone equally passionate. And that’s why we are planning to introduce a higher number of performance-oriented bikes in India over the next few months.”

With the increase of cycling enthusiasts throughout the nation for the past years, and also considering their brand value in India, this is surely a great move by SCOTT. The bikes are available for consumers through the dealer network and online marketplace.
