The Freeride World Tour (FWT) is proud to announce an extension of its long-standing partnership with SCOTT, reinforcing a shared commitment to performance, safety, and innovation at the highest level of freeride competition.
Expanding an established safety partnership
SCOTT is currently the Official Safety Partner of the Freeride World Tour, supplying athletes and staff with high-performance goggles, helmets, and back protectors.
