Nino Schurter debuts the SCOTT SRAM kit for 2026

Nino Schurter is back in the spotlight this weekend at the Utopia Gravel de Baza, and the Swiss rider will take advantage of the Granada event to debut what is expected to be the new equipment of the SCOTT SRAM Racing Team, a move that raises several questions about the team's image in 2026.

Nino presents a new SCOTT SRAM kit for 2026

Schurter arrives at this Utopia Gravel still in the adaptation phase to the discipline. In his recent gravel debut, he made it clear that the change is significant, acknowledging that the physical demands and the absence of suspension forced him to rethink his sensations on the bike. Nevertheless, his performance was competitive from the very beginning, confirming that his engine remains at the level of the best even outside of XCO.

In his first gravel race, we saw him compete with the design of the last kit he used last year in the World Cup. But in Granada, he comes with a debut. The new kit features a completely renewed aesthetic, clearly linked to the design of the SCOTT Addict Gravel RC 2026. The graphics and finishes follow a consistent visual line, reinforcing the idea that the brand's gravel project is not a one-off, but a real extension of its competitive structure.

In terms of sponsors, the jersey maintains the team's identity intact. And it features all the main sponsors, such as RockShox, which is interesting because Nino does not currently incorporate any suspension system in his Addict Gravel RC.

The big question now is whether this will be the final design that the team will use in the XCO World Cup or if it is a specific kit for Schurter's gravel program.
