Scott Foil Team Issue

Cycling Weekly from 2015 comments on the acceleration, that is sharp and immediately responsive to sprinting without compromise. Also the review mentions the surprising comfort: which has been improved over the last model, giving a decent ride despite being an aero racing bike and in addition, the great components especially the wheels and frame which combine to give a super fast race bike. Overall this reviewer gives the bike a 4.5/5 rating.

Amongst the reviews is one from Bike Radar from February 2016 mentioning the ride, which gives you full aero race winning capability, while also remaining acceptably comfortable over longer distances. This review also mentions the speed: as a result of excellent frame rigidity and responsiveness and the braking which copes well with all conditions to give confidence at speed. This review includes a rating of 4.5/5.


Scott Foil

Amongst the reviews is one from Outside Online from 2012 (covering the 20 model) and mentioning the choice of specifications, which allows you to fit your level of component performance to your budget. This review for the Scott Foil also mentions the balance of speed and comfort: with the aero design elements reducing drag on faster rides while the bike still handles like a standard racer on hills and drops and the comfort despite being a fast race bike, there is enough flex to maintain a surprising level of comfort on long rides.

Velonews from 2016 for the Scott Foil, comments on the comfort/speed mix, because Scott have designed the bike to be more accessible to riders who want speed but not at the price of being rattled and bumped for hours. Also the Scott Foil review mentions the integration: with the handlebar and stem, which allows for the neat tucking away of cables and in addition, the brakes which seem well balanced and strong enough for most conditions and speeds.

There is a review from Wired.com from 2015 (covering the 10 model) which firstly emphasises the great comfort/speed mix, as the aero design and stiff frame allow rapid speed changes, but without too much discomfort if you are on a long race. Also mentioned in this review is the weight/speed balance: as Scott have made the bike aero enough without causing undue frame flex, combined with the versatility because you can use this bike for variable speed races or time trials and triathlons. If you're interested in ratings, this review gives the bike a 4.0/5.
