SCOTT USA signs Sam Hill

Sun Valley, ID, January 12, 2007 — SCOTT USA announced today that Sam Hill has chosen to ride in Scott eyewear for the ‘07 season. Hill, the current DH World Champion, has been testing Scott’s 89xi goggles for several months and picked the No-Sweat 89xi version, which controls heat and moisture via specially designed face foam. “The fit and the comfort of Scott goggles is really nice, I was immediately happy with it,” remarked Hill. “Scott has been very supportive throughout the change and I look forward to a great season with them.”



“Sam is an amazing athlete, and we are positive that we can make further innovations to this product specific to bike with a rider like him,” commented Phil Vega, Eyewear Team Manager for Scott Bicycles. “We have done so much testing with the likes of Chad Reed and Ryan Villipoto in our Motorsports group, and developed goggles that manage heat and moisture in Supercross situations, so the goggles work perfectly for pedal sports due to the extensive research and development work here at Scott.”
