SCOR on Turning an After-Hours Project Into a New Bike Brand

BMC has a strong heritage in road and cross country bikes but isn’t as well known for gravity-focused offerings. Mariano Schoefer and Christof Bigler — an engineer and designer, respectively, at BMC — were looking to build the bikes they personally wanted to ride and started modifying existing models as an after-hours side project. Their tinkering caught the attention of their bosses, and long story short, their efforts spawned an entirely new bike brand, SCOR. So we sat down with Mariano and Christof to get the full backstory and the rundown on the bikes themselves.TOPICS & TIMES:Mariano and Christof’s roles at BMCBackground as ridersProject originsManagement catching on & growing momentumDesign ethos & bike detailsLaunching SCORMariano & Christof’s Big IdeasRELATED LINKS:Introducing: Blister LabsGetting Here: Gunnison & Crested ButteThis Week’s Gear GiveawayGear Giveaway / Newsletter SignupBecome a Blister Member / Get our new Buyer’s GuideRegister for the 2022 Blister SummitBlister Mountain Bike Buyer’s GuideSCOR 4060 Hosted on Acast.
