Scott’s RC 2027 line drops fresh bikes, shoes and helmets while the Flow MIPS ski helmet adds high‑tech protection for the slopes.
Scott has rolled out its much-anticipated RC 2027 portfolio, a unified suite of road and mountain-bike equipment that targets elite racers and serious amateurs alike. The launch coincides with the introduction of the Flow MIPS ski helmet, a separate product that brings the brand’s MIPS technology to the winter sports market.
Together, the two announcements signal Scott’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge performance across the full spectrum of two-wheel and snow-bound disciplines.
Unified visual language and performance-first tech
The new collection adopts a stark palette of white paired with fluorescent yellow a colour scheme that will dominate the RC 2027 range throughout the season.
This visual cue is more than aesthetic; it reinforces the brand’s emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and rapid visual identification in the heat of competition. Across road and MTB categories, the same branding cues signal that each piece shares a common engineering philosophy centred on power transfer, airflow management and lightweight construction.
MTB shoe overhaul – RC Ultimate
At the heart of the mountain-bike offering lies the revamped RC Ultimate shoe. The upper has been completely re-engineered and now incorporates the BOA Fit System allowing cyclists to fine-tune tension with a single turn of a dial for a snug, race-ready fit. The sole boasts a stiffness index of 10, translating into near-rigid power delivery during sprints, while the tread pattern has been stripped down to shed unnecessary grams without sacrificing grip when riders need to walk. This blend of rigidity and weight saving targets the exacting demands of cross-country and marathon MTB events.
Helmet upgrades – Centric RC MIPS and Cadence RC MIPS
Scott’s helmet lineup receives a notable refresh with the Centric RC MIPS and Cadence RC MIPS models. Both helmets integrate the Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) a technology designed to lessen rotational forces on the brain during oblique impacts. The Centric variant adds a dedicated goggle retention strap, while the Cadence model introduces the new BOA FS2 micro-adjustment dial, enabling rapid, multidirectional fine-tuning without removing the helmet. Aerodynamic shaping and internal padding have also been refined to reduce drag and improve comfort on long-haul rides.
Textile innovations – jerseys, bib shorts and gloves
The apparel segment of the RC 2027 range showcases two flagship jerseys. The RC ULTD Aero short-sleeve jersey targets pure speed, employing Kinetech fabrics that minimise drag while managing sweat. Its counterpart, the RC Pro short-sleeve jersey, offers a more versatile performance package, still featuring DRYOxcell for rapid moisture wicking and DUROxpand a four-way stretch weave that preserves freedom of movement. Bib shorts follow a similar bifurcated approach: the RC Pro version houses a high-density Pro Padding chamois for everyday training, whereas the ULTD Aero bib integrates an Ultra Padding chamois layered with graphene-infused fabric for superior cooling and quick drying on ultra-long efforts. Complementing the clothing line, the RC Pro Long-Finger Gloves adopt the same white-and-yellow motif and deliver enhanced grip for both road and trail applications.
Flow MIPS ski helmet – safety meets simplicity
Branching out from two-wheel gear, Scott introduces the Flow MIPS ski helmet in a sleek white finish. The model adheres to standard ski-helmet sizing, with a straightforward measurement guide that asks users to record the circumference at the designated point on the head. The helmet ships with a pre-flight preparation fee of €1.00 covering handling, inspection and packaging, and includes a 14-day return window managed through an online label. Delivery is offered across the EU, with tracked parcels and optional express shipping (non-refundable on returns). By marrying MIPS technology with a minimalist design, the Flow helmet aims to provide skiers with reliable impact mitigation without compromising style or fit.
Whether chasing aerodynamics on the road, grinding up a mountain trail, or carving fresh powder, athletes now have access to a suite of products that promise tighter fit, better protection and a clear aesthetic signal of competitive intent.
