Scott Bike

In 1958, The Birth of SCOTT and the Revolution of Ski Poles. The sport of skiing was revolutionized with a technical innovation from Ed Scott, a talented engineer and ski racer living in Sun Valley, Idaho. Ed Scott's invention of the first tapered aluminum ski pole immediately replaced the sport's existing use of bamboo and steel. That revolutionary invention launched a new brand, SCOTT, and fundamentally positioned SCOTT as a technical product leader in the skiing market. Ed Scott's initial vision of technical innovation would serve as the cornerstone company philosophy as the brand matured and expanded to new markets.

In 1986, SCOTT opened the world's most sophisticated ski pole factory and became the global leader in ski pole production. That same year SCOTT introduced its first mountain bike. In 1989, SCOTT introduced one of the most significant product innovations in the history of bicycling-the aerodynamic handlebar. The handlebar was strategically utilized by American Greg Lemond in his 1989 Tour de France win. In 1992, SCOTT shipped its first full-suspension mountain bikes and later introduced bicycle shoes and helmets. In 1998, SCOTT presents the lightest full-suspension mountain bike worldwide. The name "G-Zero" becomes a milestone in the development of the bike industry.
