Is This The BEST Price SCOTT FOIL to BUY?? (2024 SCOTT FOIL RC 30)

[@GCPerformance18]

does scott have the best AERO bike on the market??

[@ΣκιστειςβάρβαροςαποτηνΣκωτία]

Probably not? How fast can you actually go with that on the straight?

[@govermentsoundsystemrootik8887]

NO......!!!

18lbs, $5k and still need to upgrade wheels! I want some of whatever it’s is you’re smoking!

[@surfbumb123]

18 lbs 15 oz, a tank for what it is, so much better value out there. Put pedals on and you're close to 20.

[@ronb9901]

@@surfbumb123 exactly, it’s really getting quite pathetic. Thankfully I’ve got all my bikes and it’s not likely to change anytime soon.

A true tank

My full steel lugged Reynolds 853 fixie weighs 16 pounds with pedals. If you aren't riding this thing 30 MPH for the aero benefit I bet it's hot trash, lol.

Without carbon wheels this bike is worth 3000$ at most

[@marcusmaher-triskellionfil5158]

I'm about to buy this bike but going to change to Sram Red team and Zipp wheels, making it 6.8kl. It was the colour and design that got me.

[@mornenaude2885]

No way dude. This industry is delusional. 5k for this with Rival and this wheel-set is a crime.

[@marcinstyle85]

Just for example better looking with way better spec Felt AR Advanced Ultegra Di2 Carbon are currently for £3500 no brainer

holy crap i feel like eu got some deals right now

[@michaelmechex]

It's 5 grand and it's heavy af, comes with an entry level groupset and absolute trash spec wheels? These are rotting on the shelves for a reason

[@AlistairLattimore]

One of the best looking aero bikes on the market 😃

[@Cult-Follower]

Since youre going with the angle of "buy this, sell that, upgrade this," i wish you also weighed it without the stock wheels. Ill take the weight minus wheels, cassette, tires if thats easier.

[@GCPerformance18]

we have done videos like this, I think you could easily shave off 2lbs off this bike with new wheels and tires

[@travispyle2905]

I have the 2023 Foil RC 30. I swapped out wheels, tires,rotors, cassette and crank (my 105 version came with 50/34 and 11-34, which is so dumb for a super aero bike...no one is buying this bike to be a climber). The frame is AWESOME! I feel like Scott could have, for very little cost, upgraded to some halfway decent wheels, proper gearing for an aero bike, and narrower handlebars...

[@tombola4046]

So you bought a 5k bike and spent 2k on it to make it decent! Nice 👍

[@travispyle2905]

@@tombola4046 $3700 for the bike on sale last winter + $830 wheels + $100 cassette, $200 tires, and an 11 speed crank I already had. So I have a nice bike for under $5K.

[@travispyle2905]

We are approaching black friday. ultegra di2 12 speed groupsets can be found for $1300 right now, or Sram force 12 speed for $1100, sram red 12speed mini groupset is like $1300. Get some $1000 wheels. And pick a frame $1600- $3500 (Winspace T1550 gen 2, to mabye something like a Specialized tarmac SL8 frame). and you will be well under to right at the price point of this thing and have a much better bike.

[@kubackjeee]

No way winspace is better then foil

[@GCPerformance18]

That is a good price for an Ultegra Di2 with nice wheels!

[@pierrestaub8628]

Best value with aluminium wheels ???

[@the_real_cansin]

You should wait another 24 months for carbon wheels to be in stock... Sorry. until that time alloy wheels should be ok.

[@joshuasosa5168]

Finally some $cott bikes! Thanks my guy....

[@luismartinho7044]

O have a foil rc10 ready to ride 7.6kg, with pedals gps mount ando botle cages. And with Steam handelbar 2 pieces

[@Gatotsu2009]

Little question, even in XXS this bike allows 2 bottle cages? (yeah, I am short) and this model allow 700x32 or x30 tyres?

[@sbccbc7471]

Most road bikes of this size still allow the use of two bottle cages, but it's best to use side-entry cages, so you have less options than larger frame sizes.

[@Eirikkinserdal]

Fuck that's heavy

As for pressfit scott is top in press fit. They actually helped shimano develop pressfit standard for MTB

shame for the US market as you can buy the RC30 frameset in Europe for £2800/€3200.

@@yukiko_5051 If you think that, you have to say that the S5 looks more like a 3T. Or a Simplon since they had the double stem thing first.

[@Questioneverything72]

Scott? No, still boycotting them 1) Scott is indirectly promoting irresponsible riding behavior by sponsoring Safa Brian. While most of Safa’s rides only pose a risk to himself, about 10% of the time he has put others at risk. Scott should promote and sponsor a better role model. 2) Scott doesn’t reply to emails. 3) Who is their target customer for this bike? Only an uninformed newbie would pay $5k for a bike with these specs. If it were priced at ~$3k, it would have made more sense.

[@GCPerformance18]

never thought of that for the safa brian stat i always looked at it as cool but for sure i can see people getting mad about it

[@Questioneverything72]

@ @ he is a strong rider and a cool guy. But I have watched many of his videos including riding in Mexico and NY. He can take any risks for his own life or property but he has done sketchy stuff posing risk to others on the road. That is irresponsible. I am not mad but I believe We cyclists should call out irresponsible behavior and correct ourselves too. There is a reason many non cyclists hate cyclists on the road. Just read comments of people on videos of a cyclist getting into accident. I hope you remember that safety is number one priority just as similar to we criticize safety of hookless rims. Remember? 😉🙏

[@adsali03]

I've got the ultimate and I love it

[@Millicente]

This having the same frame as all but the top model just tells me that it’s not this tier that’s good, it’s all the upper tiers that are buns. As much as I’ve wanted to try Scott bikes I’m not paying that much money for the entry level parts carbon tier with a bum warranty. Would rather go with an aeroad if I’m worried about budget and I don’t want lifetime warranty on the frame. This bike on sale for 3500 is a better fit.

[@BartSchrijvers]

Ha! Would be a lot more attractive if they just sold it without the wheels, keeping the same price tag… 😅 genuinely feel those wheels devalue the whole bike.

[@the_real_cansin]

Yeah it is the best price for buying lots of creaking and seatpost slipping even at 12 nm for a 74 kg person (documents say max 10nm and I even replaced my seatpost with the single piece one with my own money and I am waiting for a replacement seatpost at least for a year and the Scott's response is the seatpost is not still in stock). Scott will never be my next bike after my experience with the 2023 model... Thanks Scott. One last thing! You will never be able to find parts if you buy Scott. There will be always no stock for handlebars, seatposts even mech hangers... Skip this bike and buy something simpler and accessible like Giant or anything. If you have more questions about this bike please let me know here.

[@diehardbikes]

I built my 2022 Trek Boone with full Red AXS hydraulic brakes, power meter, 2x, Enve CX wheels with Kappius components hubs, which were more expensive than King hubs at nearly a grand per hub. Built all this for under 5k in 2022. Carbon bar, all the high end stuff. Lets make the bike industry hurt. Its time for manufacturers to realize they have things priced much too high. Buy used.

[@qibble455]

Almost lost it when you said it was only 8 pounds lol, Scott still killing it with their pricing.

[@KGrant88]

Makes zero sense to buy this when I just saw a 2021 tarmac sl7 pro with deep dish roval rims, and a brand new sram force groupset with powermeter for 5K. Plus sram rival is the ugliest groupset on the market out of all the big competitors.

[@tombola4046]

5k with Rival and aluminium wheels 😂 and they wonder why nobody is buying at this price point!

[@GCPerformance18]

true I mean this is a little steep but this is what the market is priced at right now

Good Chinese wheels 1000$ + red crankset 400$ + handlebars 600$ and you get light top end aero bike for $7k

[@Questioneverything72]

Your calculation is close if you don’t buy the recent new Red and also it cost a bit more on the good Chinese wheels. But with 7-7.5 k you can already buy other brand aero bicycles with full ultegra on which at the end will be almost same weight ( ~150gr difference)

[@kubackjeee]

@Questioneverything72 yeah but if you buy a stock bike usually stem, handlebar widht and wheel depth/choice is not perfect for You. Here You have a chance to perfectly adjust it to your needs with those new parts. And all those old parts you can sell also for some change or use on other bikes.

[@kubackjeee]

@Questioneverything72 and no it does not cost more on good Chinese wheels. It can be even less if you get a good discount or order straight from the factory like I do.
