2012 Scott Foil
Combining performance attributes of both its Addict and Plasma 3 platforms, this weapon is not only faster & more aerodynamic than either Cervelo's S3 or Felt's AR but also substantially lighter & more efficient under power.
Scott's F01 Technology is based on the theory that a partial airfoil shape without the trailing edge can produce the same aerodynamic advantage as a traditional foil shape. Scott Aero Science engineers have thus developed F01 Technology to create unique, bicycle specific tube shapes which maximize aerodynamic efficiency at lower air speeds.

Ridley Noah
Cut through the air faster and with less effort. Accelerate like a Formula 1 race car. Enjoy a smooth ride at high speeds. The Ridley Noah features R-Flow jetfoils which reduce drag by up to 7.5% by drawing turbulent air away from the spokes; and R-Surface which reduces drag by 4% and creates smooth airflow over the frame. The result? Up to a 2 km/h advantage in the sprint and up to 15 watts less power input needed to average a 50 km/h breakaway.
New for 2012: PressFit 30 bottom bracket, wider chainstays to accommodate wide profile rims, and signature dual cable routing for Di2 with headtube entry.
The 2012 Noah is available as a frameset as well as a complete bike equipped the new Shimano Ultegra Di2 group. See more pics & a complete spec at Ridley's website
