scott foil rc 20 carbon road bike 2026

The Scott Foil RC 20 Carbon brings WorldTour-level aerodynamics to ambitious riders who want pure speed without compromising on lightweight performance or comfort. Built for cyclists targeting personal bests, competitive group rides and local race podiums, the Foil RC 20 delivers the complete package that serious road riders demand.

F01 technology ensures every tube profile and frame junction achieves optimal aerodynamic efficiency. Extensive computer simulation and wind tunnel testing validate the performance, making the Scott Foil RC 20 part of the fastest road bike platform SCOTT has ever created. Air flows cleanly around each surface, translating your efforts into forward speed with minimal resistance holding you back.

The patented Syncros Duncan SL Aero CFT seatpost separates the Scott Foil RC 20 from conventional aero bikes. When roads turn rough or you encounter light gravel and cobbles, the innovative two-part carbon construction flexes to absorb impacts and keep you firmly planted in the saddle. Maintaining pedal power becomes easier when the bike absorbs surface irregularities instead of bouncing you around. The separately available Syncros Campbell 20 Aero iL rear light integrates directly into the seatpost without disrupting aerodynamic performance, providing 20 lumens across three lighting modes for visibility in all conditions.

Dropped seatstays add both comfort and aerodynamic advantage to the Scott Foil RC 20 Carbon. Angled inward at 10 degrees, the stays channel passing air into the spinning wheel spokes, creating measurable speed gains proven through rigorous testing. The lowered position also conceals disc brake callipers behind the frame lines, reducing drag whilst maintaining the clean aesthetics that performance-focused cyclists appreciate.

An oversized head tube serves multiple purposes on the Foil RC 20. Beyond enabling fully integrated cable routing for mechanical and electronic groupsets, the enlarged diameter acts as an aerodynamic fairing that splits oncoming air and reduces drag as you power along. Every detail works together to preserve momentum and help you maintain higher speeds with less effort.

The Scott Foil RC 20 Carbon suits riders who take their cycling seriously, whether chasing Strava segments, competing in local criteriums or leading aggressive group rides. For cyclists who refuse to choose between aerodynamics, low weight and comfort, the Foil RC 20 delivers race-proven performance across all three priorities, giving you the tools needed to win every ride.
