Scott Sports Replaces its CEO in "Refresh"
@juanny: At warranties not at making bikes. Scott and Giant are all made by Giant anyway. Say what you like about Giant bikes, love them or hate them, but are good when it comes to warranty claims. I put several through for customers. They all got sorted and quickly. Even when they didn’t need to.

Scott Sports Replaces its CEO in "Refresh"
@norcohavocdirtjumper: I’ve had my AM9 since 2018 (second batch made) and I still can’t find a bike I’d want instead. Especially now I’ve put a coil shock on it. Highly recommend them.

@warmerdamj: I’m glad you’ve had such a positive experience. Every time I was putting a claim in for a customer, from a Scott dealer, it was always a battle and not often a satisfying result. This was as recently as 6 months ago.

One area Scott can improve, is to stop having such a terrible warranty on their bikes. I’ve worked in the industry a while and they have one of the worst warranties of any manufacturer out there. It’s just 2 years on the frame, and another 3 years if you can prove the bike has been serviced yearly by a Scott approved dealer. Any parts they don’t make, they just push you in to the other manufacturer.
There are so many brands out there that go so much further and offer lifetime warranties that actually mean something. Cube, HaiBike and Scott are some of the worst, whereas Specialized, Whyte, Cannondale, Trek, Kona and Giant are much better. My personal bike is a Bird and the warranty is lifetime and transferable. This should be standard for brands.

18 Bikes That Could Be Updated in 2024
I doubt many of these bike will get updated, with what’s going on in the current industry. R&D costs money and there is a lot of stock that needs shifting first.

Haribo Among Companies Owed Money by Wiggle After it Entered Administration
Why do Wiggle owe 1.3 million to internetstores GmbH? They are another Signa United business. I get the other 4 in the list as they bike manufacturers or parts distributors, but another company in your own group is odd.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Mountain Bike of the Year Winner
But everyone that’s ever ridden the bike has found the chain keeps coming off. How is that a good bike? It’s like a minimum requirement.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Product of the Year Winner
This T-type stuff is such a rip off. The new linkglide stuff shifts under load, lasts much long and is a fraction of the cost. Plus you don’t have to charge anything. Those SRAM batteries are crap too.
