I'm going to bump this post up because it is a much more positive way to talk about the new Scott Foil bike than the other post about it.


You criticized me for making a post about the threads on the thru axles of the Scott Foil disc brakes and yet you create this thread?

FYI, Scott used deeper than 3:1 aspect ratio tubes on their fork for their disc brake version and added those fork tip fairings on there and it is not even the same aerodynamically as the rim brake version. Not to mention the disc brake version of their bike has to use aerodynamically worse wheels with more spokes for strength. The rim brake version is still far superior aerodynamically, far less maintenance, far more durable and fault tolerant, and you can swap wheels far faster with no chance of stripping the thru axle threads because of different pitch "standards".
