ScottFoil RC
The Foil RC in Scott's HMX carbon, one step below the HMX SL of the Ultimate, with the same race geometry and the Duncan SL Aero CFT seatpost. It is the frame of most Foil RC builds: the Team Replica (Red AXS, Zipp 454 NSW) and Pro (Dura-Ace Di2) with the one-piece Syncros Creston iC SL Aero cockpit, the Team (Force AXS with power meter) and the Foil RC 10 (Ultegra Di2) and 20 (105 Di2) with a separate bar and Foil 1.5 Aero stem below the Team. Scott also sells the HMX frameset on its own.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 6 categories
The proven Foil RC shape on Scott's slightly heavier HMX carbon, from a 105 Di2 build with a separate stem up to Red AXS and Dura-Ace Di2 with the one-piece cockpit. The middle Team build with Force AXS and a power meter is the pick. It is four years into its life and relies on a proprietary seatpost and steerer.

Long wheelbase: tends to track straight and feel calm at speed.

Good to know
Versions
The HMX Foil RC shares the geometry with the Ultimate but uses HMX instead of HMX SL carbon for frame and fork. The Team Replica and Pro have the one-piece Creston iC SL Aero cockpit; the 10 and 20 use a separate Creston Aero bar and Foil 1.5 Aero stem. Scott also lists a Team Replica frameset (€3,499 / £3,439 / $3,999.99) and a Team HMX frameset, not recorded here.
