Not really new, just a new fork with full integration when paired with Creston IC.
Mentioned already several weeks ago in the Scott Addict thread.

Seems not really new, they have changed just the fork to adopt internal cables. No use of their HMX SL like their top Addicts..so it seems they just didn't want to have cabled aero bike for 2021 but they are not ready yet with new design, maybe next year.

Just THE top version with HMX carbon frame and fork, the rest are HMF frames and HMX forks.

was just about to post this. realized BB drop was still only 66mm. that's not much especially if you're running 32mm tires.

Talking Spesh in a Scott thread, sorry for that ... but!
Wait a year or so and i believe Spesh has a real aero bike out.
Then the sales arguement of one bike to rule them all is as what is... BS!

Marketing is not BS, it's magic dust. It would revive the aero bike next year.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 3:16 amTalking Spesh in a Scott thread, sorry for that ... but!

Caveat: I have a Foil Premium
The Foil is the bike that all bike companies are trying to design. It's light and aero to the right balance. For a few years the manufacturers went super aero (S5, SystemSix, etc.) and now they realise consumers want a balance. Scott just treaded water in the last few years, and by either sheer luck or cleverness have found that the bike they designed in 2016 was the perfect blend - except it didn't have hidden cables. Now it does!
The bb drop won't be a factor in most people's buying decisions. It wasn't in mine. I looked for a bike that fitted me perfectly, and at my height (189cm/6'3") I couldn't start looking at every millimetre dimension.
If the price is right (ie less than a Cervelo or Spec), then this will be a hit.
