Nino Schurter has the wildest custom detail for his 2023 Scott Spark RC
The G.O.A.T. gets the goods
Sometimes the smallest details speak the loudest. When Nino Schurter lines up for Friday’s season-opener World Cup short track, he was uncharacteristically subdued in a grey-scale kit and all-black aero helmet. XCC is the only discipline where Schurter has no world champion jersey, continental or national title to spruce up his standard Scott-SRAM kit. But he did have one custom detail on his Scott Spark that set him across from the field.
Stamped into each link of Nino Schurter’s chain are the years of each of his 10 elite men’s cross country world championship titles. And really, how many riders in history can say they have a custom chain? Custom colours? Sure. That’s been done. But custom-stamped chainlinks? That is next level detail from SRAM.
That isn’t the only detail, of course. The 10 titles are also printed in gloss black, just catching the light on Schurter’s matte black and (Olympic) gold Spark RC World Cup.
