After being presented as a prototype at Eurobike 2010, Scott Foil definitely comes into production. The new bike is born after a long study that defined the aerodynamic profile of the tubes of carbon fiber monocoque high modulus.

The new aerodynamic profile of the tubes exceeds the limit of the UCI regulations for cycling time trial (1:3) to come to a new standard (3:2), obtained in this way has a higher stiffness and aerodynamic than the model CR1, while compared to the model Plasma the Foil gain in weight. The new frame has the internal cable, a straight forks and aerodynamic profile, a tapered headset and a down tube of large size and aerodynamic profile. The top tube is wide and flat, while the vertical pipe has an aerodynamic profile and Ritchey seatpost specific product. The rear triangle is very compact with an aerodynamic profile of the tubes and carbon fiber dropouts. The bike is assembled with the SRAM Red group used for commands, crankset, brakes front and rear derailleur. Sprocket and chain are Dura Ace. The stem and handlebar are Ritchey. Zipp 404 wheels, while the seat is Fi'zi:k. So assembled, the bike weighs 6.6kg as observed with our instrumentation.
