DieselnDust Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 So the season kicks off soon and if last season was anything to go by we are in for a treat. Two top contenders this year are rocking on these Scottie's Nino Schurter’s 2019 Scott race bike Kate Courtney’s 2019 Scott race bikes Only difference is Nino won;t race with the dropper and the power meter as he prefers to keep his race bike as light as possible without the unnecessary stuff
DieselnDust Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 He'll also have a new SID (?) on his bike by the first race. Rumour has its the new Electronic lock out and damping controlled SID AXS and Nude rear shock.Nice that Ritchey pedals are still on the bikes. Ritchey goes waaaaay back wth Frissshy
Hairy Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Nice thing for Scott is that now with the AXS drive train and dropper post they can now bring a bike to the playing field that has 4 x different housings vs their typical 6 for this model of bike .... just like just about every other manufacturer
DieselnDust Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 housings...? oh you mean for the remote lever and brakes

DieselnDust Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I've worked out who you are in real life ... :-) I got that from an article on bikerumor.com https://bikerumor.com/2019/02/08/pro-bike-check-nino-schurter-kate-courtneys-new-2019-scott-spark-rc-race-bikes/
JohanDiv Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 That twinlock lever looks so old?!?! Or what am I looking at here? Or is he just running it upside down?
DieselnDust Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 That twinlock lever looks so old?!?! Or what am I looking at here? Or is he just running it upside down? Its upside down as the left hand AXS shifter is occupying its space below the bar. The bikerumor article says he will switch it back to the bottom for racing since he won't use the dropper in races

They need to streamline that whole lefthand side of the handlebar.
lenzman Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 that handlebar looks *** First the handlerbar... then the whole frame... Soon it will be aero gravel bikes in this competition?
