This bike has taken me to a lot of places

Great memories with this bike! The Scott Voltage FR20 (sponsored by Scott in 2012) got me (us) quite to some places!

Read the words or check the link under the pictures to read the story behind!

In 2012 I was the team manager of 41 Racing Team 中国 (China) (Mesum Verma)
We got some attention because of your team dress and also we were always on the podium at the races.
Bike Cool Magazine, the biggest magazine at that time for MTB in China featured us. I got my first (and since now last) cover picture as a rider (of course as photographer I have many) and we got 6 pages in it as Team!

The race scenery is stunning! And it's really good for freeriding there!

2020 / This was the last time I rode the Scott Voltage FR20 before I packed it for Switzerland. This was at the Brave Peak Bike Park in Hangzhou.

Scott Voltage FR20

Of course I was riding the bike in different locations. For example in Chongqing, where I was living for one year. But not always I took some pictures because I was just busy to having fun and ride the awesome bike!
