Hey guys,
The new Plasma just landed:

.
Further the is also already a video uploaded by Kienle about the new bike:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avybb3-IPEU
It looks exactly like the leaked images but personally I like the paint job.
What do you think about it?
.
My first Tri bike was a Scott. When I sold it, because it was too big, I actually bought it back to try and make it work. I couldn’t 
Riding Trek now but I love Scott bikes.
The bike looks great, especially all the integrated solutions seem to have been designed with the athlete’s use in mind, not only watts savings. My favorite part of the video is when Sebi says he’s looking forward to taking the new Plasma for another win in Kona in 2021 
I agree,
I think the big gap between the front wheel and the DT is somethingwe need to get used to and also I guess it looks better once you take off the BTA bento box for training.
But the paintjob, the storage space and especially the very strong fork looks pretty damn good.

Yes, I forgot to mention the paintjob which is fantastic just like for the rest of Scott’s 2021 bikes. The other brown/beige paintjob is less appealing IMO.
I’m a fan of Scott bikes, currently running a Plasma 4 and a Scale xc bike. I’ve had a few over the years and they’ve always been my favourites. I had the Plasma 1 that maybe wasn’t that aero but built sub 16lbs.
I think the plasma 6 is up there with the other superbikes, both in looks and storage.
However, there is no getting over that price tag…
I also wish manufacturers wouldnt choose wheels for us. Sure the zipps on the top spec you’d keep, but I just think the house brand syncros on the ultegra model won’t be deep enough for athletes considering that bike. Put some alloy hoops on, reduce the price, and let us choose our own race wheels. Scott aren’t the only culprits. Cervelo have done the same thing with the P series di2 and axs builds.
The green/ black looks nice. Though the elongated headtube area looks weird still.
€15k and €9k for the two models (€7k for a frame) puts it out of my league.
If you are looking for someone to model your bike, Sebi does it better than anyone. His fit is so dialed
Things I hate:
Vertical Seatposts
Hulking Gorilla Forks
Weird Chainstays
Massive Gap Between Front Wheel and Downtube
Whatever the hell they’ve done to the area where the downtube meets the toptube/headtube.
That plastic tube running from the headtube to the bars.
I’m sure it’s amazingly fast. Thanks, I hate it.
I just can’t get over that brown livery. It’s just so, so bad.
I just can’t get over that brown livery.
not the $15,000 price tag? 
That is absolutely incredible! I gotta find 15k
It kinda feels like all bikes are converging to the same basic look, a couple years after there was some wild stuff happening in tri bikes.

Touché. I figure these bikes are all getting obscene in price, so getting numb to that.
But the brown is only $9k!! Bargain buy!! And looks like shades of poop I’ve seen in my sons diaper.
Hey, it’s “Rusty Gold” ok
.
Not a lot hydration volume for the price tag. The new Shiv has up to 1.5L
kienle is absolute gold for a sponsor. didn’t like this bike at all on first seeing it, looks, aero, price. and i have no need or want to buy a new tt bike.
but after watching his yt video, I want this bike! explanation for the design points, taking you through how it works, the details and he looks so good on it. damn.
if i was going to be getting a new bike this would now be at the top of the list. but not in brown.
Dear Scott,
Until we all got used to the new looks would you mind to create me a one-off version?
If it looks like below I would consider buying it. Should be possible for 15k, am I right?
Thanks in advance.
The Bento box is where you have the junction box… No go for me…
