How much does the Scott foil 10 weigh?
Made with Scott’s second tier HFM carbon fibre, the Foil 10 tipped our scales at 7.71kg in a size medium, only half a kilo more than the Dura-Ace equipped Foil Team Issue in the same size. The Foil 10 also doesn’t get the same amount of integration as its more expensive cousins, but to be honest that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
What happened to the Trek Madone Scott foil?
Ahead of last year’s Tour de France, the Scott Foil received a head to toe redesign. Classed as Scott’s aero ride, the original Foil featured truncated airfoils, which much like the previous Trek Madone didn’t look all that aero.
What is the difference between the foil 10 and its predecessor?
The Foil 10 is just as comfortable pulling turns as it is grinding gravel. While it lacks the unforgiving stiffness of its predecessor, it’s so much better suited to a wider variety of riding.
Are the Ford foil 10 wheels any good?
Aesthetically the Foil 10 looks a bit out of sorts with low profile alloy rims, but the Syncros RR2.0 wheels perform well. The Syncros hubs are still as smooth as the day we unboxed them and the wheels are stiff, responsive, and 18mm internal width spread a 25mm tire nicely — they are colour matched to the frame too.
Where can I find more information about the Scott foil team?
The Scott Foil Team Issue. The new SRAM Red will be on the newly released models from August 2012 onwards. If you visit Scott’s website then you can learn a little about the clever manufacturing processes and materials that are employed to produce the Foil.
How much does the GreenEDGE foil 10 cost?
Unfortunately the GreenEDGE paintjob is not available until August, but this Foil 10 retails at $8995 (exact same frame as the Team Issue but slightly lower spec’d parts). In the photo gallery at the bottom you’ll be able to see both bikes that we tested.
What makes the Ford foil 10 different from the other models?
Instead of the integrated carbon bar and stem on the higher end models, the Foil 10 gets Syncros RR2.0 Anatomic 31.8mm alloy bars and a Syncros Foil stem.
