Scott just announced a multi-year partnership with the newly rebranded NSN Cycling Team (formerly Israel–Premier Tech). This partnership marks the first major equipment deal in NSN’s post–Israel–Premier Tech rebuild.
The Spain-based squad (now racing under a Swiss license) found a natural partner in Scott. Both share Swiss roots and are looking to make a fresh start. You might remember that Scott was bumped this year from the Q36.5 Team for Pinarello, leaving them stranded; however, when Factor and IPT split, Scott was a likely choice, bumping the Swiss giant back into the World Tour after several seasons.
“It’s a privilege to support NSN Cycling Team and a roster united in ambition. With our long racing heritage, we celebrate SCOTT’s return to the WorldTour, where our world-class products will support these athletes on the sport’s biggest stages.” Scott co-CEO Pascal Ducrot.
A Fresh Start
For Scott, the partnership places their bikes and Syncros components at the heart of NSN’s new identity. Scott/Syncros will be supporting both the WorldTour team and its development squad.
Scott says this new venture aligns with the team’s broader “Racing For Change” vision. One that aims to rebuild, inspire, and set a new tone for the organization moving forward.
NSN General Manager Kjell Carlström calls it a perfect match: “We’re aligning with a brand that shares our pursuit of elite performance. SCOTT’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of design, aerodynamics, and technology mirrors our own ambition on the road.”
The Bikes: Foil RC, Plasma RC TT, and Syncros Everywhere
As one would expect, the NSN riders will race aboard Scott’s flagship Foil RC for most races, with the Addict RC sprinkled in for climbing stages. For the time trials, they’ll switch to the Plasma RC TT, paired with a full suite of Syncros components across the fleet.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the new partnership in action. NSN Cycling Team will kick off its 2026 season at the Tour Down Under (Jan 20-25).
