SCOTT Foil RC 30 Bike

Through SCOTT's own F01 technology we are able to ensure that every tube and junction is optimised for the best aerodynamic design. Validated through computer simluation and wind tunnel testing we can guarantee that this is the fastest Road Bike SCOTT has ever made. 

The Foil features a combo and a handlebar and stem option that is worthy of an aero bike of this caliber. We took the hugely popular Sycnros Creston iC SL from the Addict RC into the wind-tunnel. The result is a slimmed down bar and combo that slices through the wind and ups the overall aero capability of the bike.

We also improved comfort and stiffness through adaptive compliance. The combo offers more compliance under a light load, for example when you're riding along on the hoods. However, when you sink into the drops to hammer the competition, the combo stiffens up to make sure you're able to extract every watt possible. 

One of the most innovative features of the bike is the patented new Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT. The innovative seatpost will not only make sure that on rougher surfaces you aren’t beaten up, but more importantly when on light gravel or cobbles, the seatpost will ensure you’re able to deliver maximum power through the pedals as you won’t be bucked out of the saddle. Consisting of two parts, the front, carbon fiber load bearing piece bends when the road gets bumpy ensuring you stay on the saddle.

Sold seperately, the Syncros Campbell 20 Aero iL Rear Light is a USB rechargable light that slots directly into the Duncan SL Aero CFT seatpost while maintaining the aerodynamic profile of the post. With its COB LED, it has 3 running modes, one steady, one for day time, and one for night time and offers 20Lm of output for a safe ride in all conditions.

All Foil RC models feature dropped seatstays which means additional comfort for the rider but crucially for an aero bike it also means less air resistance. They are aimed in at a 10 degree angle, forcing the passing air into the spinning spokes. Through aerodynamic testing we discovered that this detail provides significant aero gains as the bike moves forward. With the dropped seatstays we’re also able to hide the disc brake callipers not only further reducing aero drag but also adding to an overall clean aesthetic. 

The Foil RC features an oversized head tube which not only allows for fully integrated cabling for both mechanical and electronic shifting but more importantly acts as a fairing for the bike. It splits the oncoming air and reduces aerodynamic drag as a rider powers forward.  

With over 300 designs tested, SCOTT engineers were able to deliver a better carbon lay-up, a 30% reduction in the number of carbon pieces and joints used compared to the previous Foil and with incredible attention to the smaller details such as seat stays and seat clamp the team shaved weight without sacrificing stiffness.
