Summary

The Scott Foil is a standout in the aero road bike category, praised for its blend of speed, lightweight design, and comfort. It features significant aerodynamic improvements over previous models, with handling that's both sharp and predictable. The bike's aero seatpost and efficient ride quality make it a top choice for competitive cyclists.

Pros
  • Fast and efficient ride quality

  • Sharp but predictable handling

  • Excellent build spec

  • Relatively lightweight for a pure aero road bike

  • More aero than ever, yet still lightweight and comfortable

Cons
  • No power meter included

  • Three-piece seatpost feels slightly fussy

  • Attaining this low weight means coughing up £10,499 for a top-spec build

Key Quotes
It ticks the aero and comfort boxes, and at 7.43kg for a size 56cm bike, it impresses on the scales too.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
The new Foil is claimed to be 10 per cent more aerodynamically efficient than the previous version.

First review: SCOTT Foil RC Ultimate 2023 aero bike – New star in the aero sky?

Jun 2022 · Tobias Hörsch

Highs
  • Coherent overall concept with first-class integration

  • Agile handling despite high riding smoothness

  • Clever details for more comfort

Lows
