Scott USA announced
today that it will add mountain bike racer Niki Gudex to its'
family of riders.
“It's so important
for us to align ourselves with top level athletes like Niki
that can give their input on the Contessa line. The more feedback
we get from these riders, the more function specific the category
becomes,” said Scott Montgomery. “Cycling is a sport
that can be enjoyed in any form and at any level and Scott
caters to everyone from children to World Cup athletes. I
think this is what I admire most about Scott, they are making
cycling an attractive recreation for everyone and that's a
positive thing for the future of cycling. I must admit, I
am very proud to become a part of that," added Niki.
"I am very excited
to be involved with Scott,” remarked Niki. “The
Scale is an absolutely beautiful bike and I am really keen
to race it knowing how great it is. I can't imagine having
a better bike to compete at the World Cup level with.”
Gudex joins a strong group of
female athletes assembled by Scott to help shape its' Contessa
line of bicycles.

“I
have watched Niki progress so much over the last few years
of XC racing,” commented Adrian Montgomery.
“I
believe her determination and hard work in developing herself
as a World Cup racer deserves recognition. It's
these types of extraordinary people that Scott USA wishes
to work with.”
