Details of the SCOTT Foil RC 20

F01 Airfoil Technology

Every tube, every joint: aerodynamically perfected by F01 technology. Tested in the wind tunnel, built for maximum speed—the fastest SCOTT road bike ever.

Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT

The patented Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT seatpost is a key feature of the bicycle. It not only improves riding comfort on uneven roads but also enables efficient power transfer on light gravel or cobblestones. The two-piece construction, featuring a load-bearing front carbon section, ensures that the seatpost bends in a controlled manner during vibrations, effectively absorbing shocks.

Deeper seat stays for comfort

All Foil RC models are equipped with lower seat stays. This design increases riding comfort while reducing drag. The seat stays are angled at a 10° angle to direct airflow specifically toward the rotating spokes. Aerodynamic tests have shown that this detail significantly increases efficiency during forward motion. Additionally, the lower seat stays conceal the disc brake calipers, further minimizing drag and creating a clean, harmonious design line.

Oversized Steerer

The oversized steerer of the Foil RC allows for fully integrated cable routing for both mechanical and electronic shifting. At the same time, it contributes significantly to aerodynamics. It splits the oncoming airflow and reduces drag while riding.

Lightweight design with optimized carbon layout

After analyzing and testing over 300 different frame designs, SCOTT engineers developed an optimized carbon layup. This allowed the number of carbon parts and joints to be reduced by 30% compared to the previous Foil. Precise design details, such as those found in the seat stays and saddle clamp, enable an additional 9% weight reduction without compromising structural stiffness.
