Scott has launched an updated Foil race bike, with a specific focus on front-end integration. Revealed in a dazzling blue and purple colour scheme, the new Foil is a bit of a head-turner.
The new bike, launched just ahead of the 2020 Tour de France, has received a completely new cockpit, including fork, headset and handlebar, allowing for neat internal cable routing for both mechanical and electronic shifting. Images provided by Scott suggest that the bike’s cables will run down the front of the steerer, before routing in the down tube or popping out of the fork just above the front brake caliper.
The internal cable routing is facilitated through the use of the Syncros Creston IC SL one-piece bar and stem, which offers total internal cable routing. It’s the same bar that’s used on the Scott Addict RC race bike, and which is, according to Scott, optimised for greater comfort.
Although there’s no major redesign – the bike still uses Scott’s F01 aero design – the fork has been tweaked to better incorporate the internal cables and to reduce drag further. The bike is also now able to accommodate up to 30mm tyres as a result of the changes.
