After spending 2025 as the bike supplier to ProTeam Q36.5, Swiss manufacturer Scott is back in the WorldTour with a new team partnership that represents both a fresh start and a return to the level where the brand has traditionally competed.
The Q36.5 Chapter Closes
Scott’s year with Q36.5 provided valuable racing data and development feedback, but the ProTeam level did not offer the same visibility and prestige as a WorldTour presence. When Pinarello swooped in to take title sponsorship of Q36.5 for 2026, Scott was free to pursue a WorldTour deal that better matched its brand ambitions.
What Scott Brings
Scott’s bike lineup is among the most complete in professional cycling. The Foil remains one of the most aerodynamically efficient frames available, while the Addict is a proven climbing platform that has won Grand Tour stages. The Plasma time trial bike rounds out a versatile stable that can handle any race scenario. For cycling fans, Scott’s return means more diversity and competition at the top level — exactly what the sport needs to keep pushing innovation forward.
