ScottFoil RC TRI
Scott's triathlon build of the Foil RC aero road bike: the HMX frame and fork with the same race geometry as the road Foil RC, but a Zipp Vuka Bull base bar with Vuka Clip carbon extensions on a Syncros Foil 1.5 Aero stem, wireless shifter blips and SRAM S-900 Aero brake levers. It is a road frame with clip-ons rather than a dedicated tri bike, so there is no integrated hydration or storage and the seat angle stays at road values.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories
A Foil RC aero road frame turned into a triathlon bike with Zipp clip-on bars, wireless blips and aero brake levers. It is a fair way into tri for riders who want one bike, but the road seat angle, no pad stack or reach figures and no hydration or storage put it well behind dedicated tri frames.

Fit
Scott uses the same geometry table for the Foil RC TRI as for the road Foil RC (XXS-XXL), so seat angles are road values (72.5-74.5 degrees) and there is no published pad stack or reach.
