i'm at scots sports hq in switzerland and today i'm building up a brand new scott foyle
there's a lot of trucks here this is a proper bond villain building
so
i think he's made a mistake nope it's on purpose it's the new thing exactly
the dog of the warehouse attack attack
providing the same sweet
with deep wheels yeah it's not too bad it's not bad eh so massive thanks to jonathan the mechanic
for doing that build this is my new aero bike and it's a brand new release from scott this is
actually a foil rc ultimate the highest grade of carbon fiber you can get which explains why
even though it being an aero bike it's really really light this ultimate version comes in
matte black with gloss black logos this is a size small frame and as you can see from the tubing
it's all extremely aerodynamic naturally scott have tested it and they say it's the fastest road
bike they've ever made more to come on that in tomorrow's episode where i'm actually uh going to
do a quick ride with the guys who designed it and engineered it so stay tuned for that like with my
other scott road bikes it has an integrated carbon bar and stem these are creston ic sl aeros so more
aerodynamic than the ones i had on my previous bike and you can see that from the profile they
are super super skinny on the tops so it cuts through the air the less bar tape you put on
aero bars the faster they're going to be so we've left quite a lot off the headset's nice and neat
with everything covered up with this uh little cap all the cable routing is internal so you can't see
it at all the headset is adjusted with torx keys it just so happens this bike has a little magnetic
torx key that fits inside the through axle so you can basically build the whole bike with
just this tool better put this back on it's like when the c3po is naked completely revamped from
the previous version of the foil you now have a very aero looking seat post but it has a secret
and that is this piece that comes out and it's basically a rubber insert with a light in now
jonathan was actually saying you can ride this bike without anything in there at all
this carbon fiber is strong enough and because of that design it adds a lot of compliance so when
you hit potholes and stuff it's not so much of a bone shaking ride as you may have found
with other bikes that have really wide seat posts in an effort to get more aerodynamic this light
has a few different settings charges via usbc and is very easy to detach when you need to the butt
holes to adjust it are covered up with a nice rubber cap on top of the seat post is a saddle
and this saddle is a carbon belcara synchros saddle it's fairly flat with a bit of a cutout
in the middle and is exactly the same saddle that i've been using on my previous bike and i know it
works for me so a lot of saddle choices personal preference group set i'm using my own dura ace 11
speed this has already been used for a season but it's in perfectly good condition reliable super
light looks great electric what more could you ask for well one more gear i guess little detail
this is the first time i've seen a dura ace mech mounted direct mount without the adapter so it
looks a little bit neater slightly lighter so it looks very nice cassette is an 1128 front gears
are semi-compact so 52 36 perfect for road riding and racing maybe a little bit big if you want to
do some bike packing or touring or if you live in a place that has really really really steep hills
unfortunately i do live in a place with really really steep hills but i'll do some more training
fork is completely being redesigned by scott to be as aerodynamic as possible and underneath the fork
you can see i've acquired a really weird gooey sticky piece of uh like plant or something well
i hope it's from a plant literally ridden this bike five minutes and already got it covered in
continuing the theme of aerodynamics i then have a set of medium depth but very fast parkour strada
wheels these are designed by my friend dov who you may have seen in previous episodes and these
are the aerodynamic mid-range offering from them so they're designed to work on road bikes
be a perfect depth to deal with crosswinds they actually use a different profile front and rear
to deal with the wind in the best way possible and they work best when paired with 28 millimeter
tyres which is exactly what i've done these are hutchinson challengers which are a brand
new tyre from hutchinson i think they released last week they're not tubeless compatible so
i've got chubalitos inside which are super light inner tubes they're weird and orange you may have
seen them in the build phase the nice thing about using the right tyres for the wheel is that you
don't really get a light bulb effect you get a nice flush smooth transition from tyre to wheel
which should make things faster in the wind these wheels have also been exposed to a laser beam
or the hubs have they have a custom wild decal and shameless plug we are the wild ones is my
streetwear brand link down below if you want to get a t-shirt finishing touches i then have garmin
power pedals these are the rallies these are the spd ones and the reason they're spds is because i
rode my bike here from england and we were had loads of bags on our bikes and stuff and wanted to
be able to walk around when i get home these will be switched for the road version of the rallies
which are like shimano spd sl fit and then have a garmin head unit this is the 1040 solar so it
charges with the sun which is very cool and is fitted to a synchros mount which is underneath
fits under the handlebars made in collaboration with k edge and looks really good last finishing
touches magnetic bottles from fidlock so when you take your bottles off your bike
looks really good and then when you put them back on you have water and water is important to live
that is my new scott foil i really made an effort to try and find somewhere quiet
there's trucks here as well i think they follow me
