SlowTwitch.com  talks to Luke about his new bike...


For our series "the bikes of the pros", we look closer at the Scott Plasma 2 of Luke McKenzie. The fast Australian switched mid season to this new ride and we wanted some numbers and details.

ST: Luke, what are the initial impressions of the new machine?

Luke: It was a big difference switching to Carbon after years of riding Titanium. I kept saying to Amanda on my first ride "it feels like I am riding on Silk"! For a TT bike it handles really well. I felt like I was on a road bike the first day I road in the mountains. The Plasma 2 is really light compared to other TT bikes. Even with training wheels my bike comes in around 7.5kg. Add the Zipps and we are looking at around 7kgs! My position hasn't changed any from my last ride although I instantly felt more comfortable on the Scott.
