The Contessa series has long been SCOTT’s premium collection of multi-discipline bikes, apparel and accessories for women. Said to be designed for riders serious about performance and design, the new range continues from its debut series in 2021. So let’s see what’s in store for the Boudicca’s of the off-road world.
- Is the UCI MTB World Cup going pay-per-view?
- Introducing the ORCC Recommends round-up.
- The South & Central Lakes District trail guide
For 2022, the Contessa collection theme is “water”. SCOTT explains the similarities between women and water as so; “[water] can be calm and soothing, a base for all of life. In parallel, water’s strength is often underestimated, much like that of a woman. Leave it be, and with persistence and patience, it’s capable of carving out a mountain of rock. No matter how small a drop of water is, its energy causes a ripple effect.”
Women are Water.
In the Contessa Signature collection, there are six premium bikes; the all-new Contessa Spark RC for XC racers, the Contessa Ransom for big mountain adventures, the Contessa Addict RC road bike, the Contessa Addict Gravel, the Contessa Addict eRIDE, and the all-new Contessa Patron eRIDE for those ready to boss any trail, all day long.
Accompanying these bikes is full head-to-toe matchy-matchy apparel and accessories. Queue that Power Rangers theme tune…
