What does DR Associate Editor...
What does DR Associate Editor Pete Peterson have in common with a Chinchilla? Both like to enjoy a nice dust bath in their new Scott apparel. Wait, what?
It's official: Scott USA has unleashed a whole new line of riding gear upon the United States of America. As seen on the Canidae/ Motosport.com/ Kawasaki team riders and Swiss freestyle star Mat Rebeaud, the new A-Series and A-Series LTD products will soon be headed to a Scott dealer near you. And you might want to make it a priority to scoot down to that local shop soon, because this gear is bad to the bone and we're sure that everyone is going to want a piece!
Dirt Rider met up with the Scott USA crew a few weeks ago at Riverside, California's Milestone MX Park for the early launch, at which time we got our first taste of the new A-Series and A-Series LTD gear. Well built and with a great fit, the biggest highlight of the new Scott Apparel is the expansion into new color ways and designs, whereas the previously-unobtainable gear was centered around one basic design scheme. Along with Scott USA Marketing dudes Gabe Glosband and Adam Greene, we put in dozens of laps in the new gear and have since put in dozens more, which means that you can expect a full review in the DR Tested section of an upcoming issue of Dirt Rider. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the following photos and info of the Scott 2010 MX Gear, and make sure that you're the first in line at your local dealer on August 15th.
Scott USA's own Adam Greene puts his own gear to the test and throws some dirt aboard our Kawasaki KX250F Long Haul bike.
