A link to the range.
The new Foil and Addict colour schemes are great.
Hopefully the prices aren't as high in the UK

is it me or does the new scott foil premium look like a specialzied venge? especially the headset section.

[Zigmeister]

Still like the black out look personally. Premium is real nice, love it.

addictR1, don't think it looks like a Venge at all personally.

[ardi69gain]

Agreed, love the stealth look

The new bikes are nice but I really dont like that kind of stem

The only thing different about the stem is it fits with the aero spacers. You can run it with a normal stem and spacers just like any other bike.

Caveat: New Scott Foil have 1.25" steerers. So yes, you can run it with a normal stem, just not most normal stems.

More uninspiring paint jobs and relatively cheap looking bikes. Was not impressed by the 2016 test ride I did.

I find the paint jobs quite nice. Addict 20 in particular.

I have a first gen foil hmx. I think it's a very good bike.

Haven't tried the latest gen addict or foil

What model? My 2015 Hmx Addict is pure class, better in almost anything compared to my Canyon, except confort, that is lacking a bit.

Ya, you're comparing it to a Canyon, which despite their $ to value ratio, aren't all that amazing either. Cool looking, but that's where it stops.

I have to agree, I had a spin on the Ultimate Carbon SLX and it was a bit heavier than I expected, also didn't feel it had the jump that most top end carbon bikes have, it was very subtle and I'm sure it ads up to nothing on the road but you could feel it, I guess just not quite as stiff as I expected. Not a bad bike, I just expected more after hearing all the reviews.

I do wonder how many people who comment on carbon bikes have had the opportunity to ride 10+ bikes and really feel the difference, not on here but other forums have guys singing the praises of their first carbon bike.
105 specced, 8kg and the best bike they've ever ridden.

Back to the Scott bikes, just seen the Foil in person. It's stunning!

The bottom bracket mounted rear brake on the Foil's were a deal killer for me.
