The Bilsland Verdict on the Scott Foil RC 10 Road Bike: "One of the fastest bikes in the pro peloton just got faster, with a completely redesigned frame and Scott's premium HMX carbon. Climb faster and hit new top speeds with this aero weapon"
Stage wins at all the grand tours, classic victories at Milan San Remo, Liege Bastogne Liege and Paris-Roubaix - we can safely say that the FOIL RC 10 is the most versatile aero bike on the market. The SCOTT FOIL RC 10 was designed to help you gain those extra precious seconds. With fully integrated cable routing and a Shimano Di2 drivetrain, the FOIL RC 10 is a race-ready machine at a fraction of the cost.

Aero, Lightweight or Comfort – choose three. Welcome to the next evolution of aero bikes with the all-new Foil RC. Designed to meet the demands of WorldTour sprinters, attackers and breakaway riders, this is the fastest road bike we’ve ever produced. Win Every Ride.
F01 Airfoil technology
Through SCOTT's own F01 technology we are able to ensure that every tube and junction is optimised for the best aerodynamic design. Validated through computer simulation and wind tunnel testing we can guarantee that this is the fastest Road Bike SCOTT has ever made.
Syncros iC SL Aero
The Foil features a combo and a handlebar and stem option that is worthy of an aero bike of this caliber. We took the hugely popular Sycnros Creston iC SL from the Addict RC into the wind-tunnel. The result is a slimmed down bar and combo that slices through the wind and ups the overall aero capability of the bike.
We also improved comfort and stiffness through adaptive compliance. The combo offers more compliance under a light load, for example when you're riding along on the hoods. However, when you sink into the drops to hammer the competition, the combo stiffens up to make sure you're able to extract every watt possible.
Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT
One of the most innovative features of the bike is the patented new Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT. The innovative seatpost will not only make sure that on rougher surfaces you aren’t beaten up, but more importantly when on light gravel or cobbles, the seatpost will ensure you’re able to deliver maximum power through the pedals as you won’t be bucked out of the saddle. Consisting of two parts, the front, carbon fiber load bearing piece bends when the road gets bumpy ensuring you stay on the saddle.
Sold seperately, the Syncros Campbell 20 Aero iL Rear Light is a USB rechargeable light that slots directly into the Duncan SL Aero CFT seatpost while maintaining the aerodynamic profile of the post. With its COB LED, it has 3 running modes, one steady, one for day time, and one for night time and offers 20Lm of output for a safe ride in all conditions.
Dropped Seat Stays
All Foil RC models feature dropped seat stays which means additional comfort for the rider but crucially for an aero bike it also means less air resistance. They are aimed in at a 10 degree angle, forcing the passing air into the spinning spokes. Through aerodynamic testing we discovered that this detail provides significant aero gains as the bike moves forward. With the dropped seat stays we are also able to hide the disc brake callipers not only further reducing aero drag but also adding to an overall clean aesthetic.
Oversized Head Tube
The Foil RC features an oversized head tube which not only allows for fully integrated cabling for both mechanical and electronic shifting but more importantly acts as a fairing for the bike. It splits the oncoming air and reduces aerodynamic drag as a rider powers forward.
Even Lighter Than Before
With over 300 designs tested, SCOTT engineers were able to deliver a better carbon lay-up, a 30% reduction in the number of carbon pieces and joints used compared to the previous Foil and with incredible attention to the smaller details such as seat stays and seat clamp the team shaved weight without sacrificing stiffness.
