Summary

The Scott Foil is a versatile aero bike that combines speed with comfort, offering a smooth ride over rough surfaces and confident handling. While it excels in aerodynamics and braking performance, some reviews note its wheelset and weight as areas for improvement. The bike's design and geometry make it a strong contender in the aero category, though it faces stiff competition from lighter and more specialized models.

Pros
  • Fast and forgiving

  • Exceptional braking performance

  • Comfortable ride quality

  • Versatile and future-proof

  • Aerodynamic design

Cons
  • Wheelset outclassed by the chassis

  • Noticeably slower than rim-brake equivalents

  • Extra weight affects acceleration

  • Disappointing out-of-the-box spec for speed

Key Quotes
The Foil is one of the most accomplished aero bikes around
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
It’s remarkably rapid when you want it to be yet beautifully compliant over coarse surfaces
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
If you have a hankering for aerodynamic efficiency but aren’t ready (or able to afford) a full-blown superbike, the Foil 10 is a nice compromise.

Scott Foil Disc 10 Di2 review

Oct 2018 · Warren Rossiter

The Foil is one of the most accomplished aero bikes around, but a full aero package would be good. Buy if you want one of the best aero road bikes on the market right now and are prepared to upgrade the wheels

Highs
  • Wonderfully reactive handling, fast and forgiving with it

Lows
  • Wheels are outclassed by the chassis

Scott Foil 10 Disc review

Jun 2018 · Peter Stuart

The Scott Foil 10 is fast, well engineered and fairly comfortable, but is weighed down by its low spec wheels

Highs
  • Fast

  • Rigid and a nice level of comfort for an aggressive aerodynamic design

Lows
  • The overbuilt Syccros wheelset a little deflating for this price

  • As is the Ultegra spec
