I run 32 GP 5000 TL on CLX 50s and they measure 32
Very hard to make a decision then. They really have to present more information regarding sizes. Some already do.

I wish they'd lose the curves in their designs. The original Foil was much sharper looking.

I've been debating Foil 30 VS Addict RC 30 2021 for over 3 weeks, in the end I went Addict RC.

In the 30 models at least I prefer the full Prism purple/green colour on the Addict
Way superior band type seatpost binder on the Addict, lots of complaints about the Foils wedge system
The Addict has lots of Aero features, but lighter weight too and I love hill climbing
Addict has seperate stem/handlbars easier to change sizing, as opposed to Foils one piece V bar
Not keen on the bold white logo on Foil 30
Addicts RC30 stock wheelset are 1700g apparently, easy place to get weight even lower


So from a buyer who's done loads of research and head scratching for 3 weeks, theres really not a lot of difference between them. I think the addict should get some ever so slightly more aero tubes and drop the Foil in the years to come. :shock:
Did you ever receive the bike? Also looking at Foil 30. What did you think?

I´ve seen picture on the phone, taken from Scott catalogue. Rear end is like Cervelo S5 and front end is like Venge.

Website says Ultimate (SRAM Red) is 7.22kg and the Pro (Dura-Ace) is 7.32kg, although I have no clue what size this would be for. Changing the size on the site doesn't change the weight at all

Edit: I saw the lightest carbon layup is only on the Ultimate model, so if you want the lowest weight possible it's SRAM only for now
