Kate Courtney debuts new SCOTT Spark RC Contessa and equipment on the track where she won the World Championship

In 2018, Kate Courtney raced her first XCO World Championship in the Elite category and won it. It was on the circuit of Lenzerheide, Switzerland, where this weekend she will return to race the fifth World Cup event of this season, and to remember that victory the team wanted to surprise her with a new bike and equipment.

Kate Courtney's kit has changed the color from black to sky blue.

"This bike works incredibly well on the Lenzerheide trail. With the twinlock suspension, I can lock out completely on the tarmac climb, use the traction mode for the more technical pedaling sections, and of course get the full 120mm of travel on the technical descents and jumps. I can't wait to ride fast and have fun on my new bike this weekend!" said Kate after riding the Lenzerheide course.

The new Spark RC Contessa combines the purple color of the frame with matte black in the area where the shock absorber is hidden.
The bike is full of details, such as the name of the American company on the seatpost clamp or the rainbow colored hardware.
Valves with finish to match the hardware
Brad Copeland is Kate's personal mechanic and if you haven't seen his "bike shop" you should go and see it right now.
Light blue details appear to be backlit depending on how the light hits them.
Kate and Brad came to SCOTT SRAM together and are an inseparable team at every competition.
