ÜBER SCICON SPORTS
SCICON wurde 1980 in einer Garage in der Nähe von Bassano del Grappa, Italien, der Wiege der Radsportindustrie, gegründet, um das Problem zu lösen, wie professionelle Radfahrer mit ihren Fahrrädern reisen können.
Im Laufe der Zeit hat sich SCICON zu einer Marke entwickelt, die nicht nur Probleme löst, sondern auch zu Abenteuern auf der ganzen Welt inspiriert.
In den vierzig Jahren seit der Gründung der Marke haben die größten Radsportler in der Geschichte des Radsports eine SCICON-Tasche benutzt. Moser, Cipollini, Pantani, Indurain, Bettini, Boonen, Froome, Contador, Nibali, Sagan, Pogačar, um nur ein paar zu nennen.
Im Jahr 2011 wurde die ASG-Gruppe zum Hauptaktionär von SCICON, um eine schnelle, globale Expansion zu gewährleisten und die Marke zu neuen Höhen zu führen.
2019 trat SCICON in die Welt der Sportbrillen ein und wurde sofort zu einem Bezugspunkt für viele Radsportler und Enthusiasten.
In weniger als einem Jahr hat SCICON mit Tadej Pogacar die Tour de France 2020 und mehr als 50 Rennen gewonnen und wird von nicht weniger als drei World Tour Teams eingesetzt, nämlich UAE Team Emirates, NTT Pro Cycling und Israel Cycling Academy.
SCICON setzt sein Ziel fort, eine der weltweit führenden Sportbrillenmarken zu entwickeln und wird mit über 100 UCI WorldTour-Siegen von drei Teams belohnt und feiert den zweiten Sieg von Tadej Pogačar bei der Tour de France im Jahr 2021 auf den Champs-Élysées.
Im Jahr 2022 verkündet SCICON offiziell das größte Brillen-Endorsement in der UCI WorldTour und präsentiert nicht weniger als vier UCI Herren WorldTour-Teams und zwei UCI Damen WorldTour-Teams mit über 150 Radprofis, die SCICON-Brillen bei Rennen tragen.
Während die besten Fahrer der Welt sich zu einer spannenden Grand Depart in Kopenhagen, Dänemark, versammeln, um sich auf die 109. Ausgabe der Tour de France vorzubereiten, tragen UAE Team Emirates, Israel Premier Tech, BikeExchange Jayco und Astana Qazaqstan die neuesten Scicon Sports Fahrradbriòòe, mit insgesamt 32 Fahrern. Scicon Sports ist damit die meistgetragene Brillenmarke bei der Tour de France.

Der globale Hauptsitz in Bassano del Grappa (Italien) umfasst ein Konzeptlabor für die Herstellung von Taschen-Prototypen, die Produktion von technischer Sportbekleidung und die Brillenmontage.

SCICON recognized early on that to be successful it needed to earn the trust of world-class athletes through the decades. Producing innovative products that make athletes perform better is important, but SCICON's secret to success had an additional ingredient: we meet with athletes at races, listen carefully to their feedback, and constantly monitor what can be improved or even invented to support their needs. The World's best athletes trusted SCICON and its founders from the very beginning, an aspect that will not change throughout the decades to come.
