Just in time for this year's Redbull Rampage (11. + 12.10.24) Scott athlete Brendan Fairclough aka Brendog gets a very special bike.

With six participations in the Redbull Rampage, Brendog is already an old hand at the legendary freeride competition in Utah. His two fourth places at past events show that Brendog is not just one of the riders, but one of the extended favourites. For the 2024 Rampage, sponsor Scott has put a very special Gambler Downhiller on the Pirelli tyres. Visually, the frame paintwork is reminiscent of a racing car from the 80s.

Brendan, a big car fan himself, attended a car festival where he obviously couldn't take his eyes off a very special Porsche 911. With only 11 examples ever built, these special models contain winning Formula 1 engines from 1985 and 1986, when Porsche was the official engine partner of the infamous McLaren Racing Team led by the one and only Alain Prost on behalf of TAG (Tag Turbo).

From one legend to another: Brendan's SCOTT Gambler is a true homage to motor racing and impresses with colours that could not sound more regal: Porsche Grand Prix white, McLaren rocket red and Bugatti French blue.

So we can look forward to seeing whether it will be enough for Brendog this year. It definitely can't be down to the design of the bike if it doesn't work out...
