Interbike feedback by PEZ

It’s been 4-5 years now since SCOTT Bicycles stepped into the big ring of road bikes, and a couple more since their launch of the sub-800 gram Addict road frame. This year they showed off the evolution of the Addict road series with a brand new superlight 'Cross version…




But the really cool bike was their Plasma TT rig – first seen at the Giro this year, and recently setting the 1st and 3rd fastest bike legs at the ’08 Kona Ironman.



The rig features a headtube integrated with the frame for max-aero, all internal cables, very narrow tube profiles and more…




The chain stays hug the wheel almost full distance back to the hub, creating maximum room for feet, and minimum disturbance of air flow.




The seatpost is uber-aero too, and even the seat stays are shaped to smooth airflow.
