GIVISIEZ, Switzerland — January 3rd, 2012

Syncros was founded in 1986 by Peter Hamilton and Pippin Osborne as a small, high-end components company on Vancouver’s North Shore. After a few changes in ownership, Tom Ritchey made the final buy in 2003 and under his guidance, Syncros returned to its roots as a leading manufacturer of high end mountain bike components specialized in the All Mountain, Freeride, and Downhill categories.

SCOTT will give Syncros the necessary support to design outstanding products and enlarge the line by expanding into Cross Country and Road categories. A dedicated design and engineering team has been created and they have already begun working to develop innovative products for future Syncros product lines. The products will be built to reflect SCOTT’s high standards for technology while also keeping top-to-bottom integration mind. This type of product integration will cultivate new levels of innovation, further adding value to its bikes.

Syncros will be distributed through the SCOTT network to dedicated dealers around the globe. Currently SCOTT offers dealers a full range of bikes, clothing, bike shoes, and helmets. The addition of Syncros parts and accessories will further strengthen this package, giving dealers more to offer. SCOTT will present the complete range of new Syncros products to the public during the 2012 Eurobike show.
