I have had a Team/Ultimate/Pro edition of the last 3 models, but won’t be buying this one. Terrible distributor in Australia, can not get after sales support, and warranty claim declined on a brand new bike that was delivered damaged. Love my Foils, but just can’t be spending this amount of money with the experience I have had
Love that aerobikes are finally taking comfort into account. If it's going to be heavy and fast, might as well be heavy, fast, and comfy. That being said, 7.1kg is great for an aero machine!
Clever would have been running the light of the Di2 battery imho. This is just a gimmick that creates yet another non-standard fitment component your forced to purchase from the cycle manufacturer it's not like you can swap it out for a Garmin Varia, or light made by a different manufacturer
@@kidkarbon4775 you can also just not buy the light and just strap on your own light. Their light is an option, not mandatory. If you want to be mad at something, be mad at all the manufacturers' seatposts and cockpits. Those are the ones that are proprietary, non-standard, and mandatory that you need specifically for your bike to work (as intended). The light is not needed for the bike to work. You can do anything with lights. Also, i would rather have more battery life on my gears than a light.
i am sure it is a great bike but i am getting so bored of these matte black bikes. every other bike these days is matte black. i cant wait until this trend dies.
@@adrianc6534 Agreed its boring. But its what weekend warriors need to complete the ninja/stealth look, you know stealth exactly what you want when out on the road.
Got a perfect 1st release old foil, fantastic bike, and beautiful, never selling it, and this is the latest rendition of the ultimate of aero bikes by Scott of course.
Love everything about this build except those Fidlock bottles. I had them but quickly returned them since unlike a regular bottle where you just have to slide it back into the cage regardless of the bottle's rotational orientation north and south, the Fidlock bottle you have to always orient the bottle so the magnets face south when you snap it back in. There were times where I thought it was aligned but it wasn't and I had to look down away from the road.
I'm a bit of a Scott fan but I've got to say I don't particularly like the look of this new Foil. That seat tube just looks like an afterthought. It's probably a very fast bike though.
A quick word of thanks.. After following your progress in you trip across Europe and seeing your SunGod glasses in the videos, I was inspired to buy my own custom pair of Vulcans.. my credit card is not so happy! Ordered 11.45 pm on Tuesday night coming am Thursday!! not bad for custom pair of sunglasses.
I've been in the market for a new aero road bike. I love my Blue AC1SL (except for the cable routing). It's stiff, very agile and light. I have been trying to find something that can exceed it. I found the Cipollini RB1k to be an upgrade however the price is way up there. I rode the trek Madone and the Canyon Aeroad SLX, and for what they cost, I wasn't impressed, I expected much more. I read about the Scott Foil RC, compared the geometry and I am looking forward to test riding one, unfortunately Scott doesn't have a showroom in the USA (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) But I have a feeling the Foil RC might be the winner.
That is seriously one of the sleekest looking bikes I've ever seen. Do I want one? Yes Can I afford one? Possible Could I do the bike justice? Definitely not, bike seems very fast and my legs are not! 😅
That is a very svelte looking machine, proper treatment too not having to assembler your own bike out of a box unlike someone else. Also it explains why your bike was heavy at the start o the bikepacking trip, you had a groupset and a pair wheels no wonder it was heavy. Enjoy whizzing around on the new Foil. :)
I always thought the previous version of the Foil was a stunning looking bike, a thing of beauty, but I'm not really taken with this update, obviously aesthetics and taste is subjective but I wouldn't buy one on looks alone. The way the seatpost tube hugs the back wheel is 3T Strada, Cervello S5 standards of fugly. Proprietary lights which don't ship with the bike. Proprietary seatposts, stems and bars.. not my cup of tea, I appreciate choice.
That looks good ... I´m waiting on all post-TdF-novelties to pull the trigger and replace my aero. Right now my frame rankings: 1. Dogma F 2. Orca Aero 3. Cervelo S5 Keep us posted on what is like to live with the Foil, please! Cheers!
It's really interesting; the silhouette looks identical to the previous generation of Foil although from what I can see every single tube is different.
An amazing looking and no doubt performing bike that would sadly be wasted on me. Nicely cut video - you should create advertisments for other platorms Francis.
Beautiful bike.... Love the idea of having a light integrated into the seat post! One of the really frustrating things with my system6 was finding a set of lights that actually fit....
Awesome to have you at HQ Francis! Enjoy this 🚀of a bike!
no more rim brake bikes?
Sick bike scott!!
Stunning bike!

i actually expected scott to discontinue the foil series in favor of addicts. kind of glad they didn't. one of the best aero bikes atm
Love that aerobikes are finally taking comfort into account. If it's going to be heavy and fast, might as well be heavy, fast, and comfy. That being said, 7.1kg is great for an aero machine!
That looks so nice. Loved the integrated rear light, so clever.
Merida also has one in their aero bike

Matte black everything! That bike looks fast even when it's at a standstill. Congratulations Francis!

Lmao I guess

Hahah Ninja 😂 I prefer bright colours and neon on my bikes for visibility

Thanks
Beautiful new bike! Hope you enjoy the hell out of it!
thank you!
Seems like it’s constant New Bike Day for you, well done!
Finally someone brave enough to admit that water is important to live. Nice bike also.
Nice to see all the clever details of the bike.
Sweet stuff mate great to spend the morning talking mechanic and aero bike together. Welcome back at our HQ whenever youneed some more build ;o)
Great to meet you and thank you mate! The star of the show 👊
I think it's nice of Lawrence to overview the bike build make sure everything is on point. 😉
Wow, that's a lovely cervelo S5 build.
Thanks Francis...quite a bike !....Enjoy...peace
Beautiful bicycle. I like the Scott bikes.

Wow that is insane!! 😍
Super your New bike, ✌️
You've have come a long way since riding that old Cinelli fixed gear everywhere
thanks for watching since then Simon!
Do you remember that time you lived in the North East? Those times were good. :P
(See you soon!)
Frame looks great!
Your new bike is an absolute beauty!!
Looks absolutely class!
A quick word of thanks.. After following your progress in you trip across Europe and seeing your SunGod glasses in the videos, I was inspired to buy my own custom pair of Vulcans.. my credit card is not so happy! Ordered 11.45 pm on Tuesday night coming am Thursday!! not bad for custom pair of sunglasses.
Oh my word, that is beautiful.
I don’t think I’ll even ever see a bike like this in the flesh yet alone own one!
I still love my 2013 Scott Foil 20.
Nice bike and love the integrated light
That is stunning.
thats one good looking bike. reminds me of the S5. I like those too. congratulations
In love with this bike
What a bike! Cervelo S5 meets S-works Venge :). I like the integrated light!
Nice, gimme your old Scott Foil tho
Looking forward too see the video tomorrow 👍
My man could barely contain his excitement!

Dog was well up for helping with that internal handlebar cable routing 👍 🐕
Wow! What a fast looking bike even just sat there. Great insights from the designers as well. Want!

Looks absolutely stunning Francis 🚀💚👌
That looks good ... I´m waiting on all post-TdF-novelties to pull the trigger and replace my aero. Right now my frame rankings:
1. Dogma F
2. Orca Aero
3. Cervelo S5
Keep us posted on what is like to live with the Foil, please! Cheers!
S work the best frame
It is dreamy.
It's really interesting; the silhouette looks identical to the previous generation of Foil although from what I can see every single tube is different.
Scott Foil has always looked good to me, and i don't even care for carbon or aero all the much. Enjoy your new bike!
That Bike is Fire! I am starting to save up now!
May need to re-mortgage the house 🤣
Coco attaque !! ahaha 🤣
Great vid man keep going 🦾
Jeez, that is one sweet bike!
Nice 1!
Francis: "And water is important to live. That is..."
Me expecting: "... my new mantra"
I had Syncros cranks on my 1993 Manitou HT mountain bike
Damn that's a nice bike!!
Dang! What a bike! 🤤🤤
An amazing looking and no doubt performing bike that would sadly be wasted on me. Nicely cut video - you should create advertisments for other platorms Francis.
Looks so fast and beautiful. Pretty jealous not gonna lie 😅😅
The handlebars reminds me of the S Works Venge Vias😜
Beautiful bike.... Love the idea of having a light integrated into the seat post! One of the really frustrating things with my system6 was finding a set of lights that actually fit....
Amazing looking bike!
It ain’t often I’m bothered by the looks of a bike enough to have a reaction, but that is FIT
Beautiful looking bike Francis 😍
Nice Brendan Fairclough cameo @10 secs
That is a freaking awesome bike.
Wow, pretty!
What a weapon!
So pretty
Feck! What a weapon.

Francis living his best life, what an awesome trip.

Bike looks mean!
That bike looks so good!
Chunky looking bike, and good luck with 52/36 in Northumberland...
I ride 52/36 with 11-34. Like having a couple of dinner plates for my mech 👍
Worked ok in the alps
That’s an awesome bike!!
