In the near future, round tube competition bikes will be abandoned in favor<br />

of a fuselage more suitable for any situation a rider may encounter on<br />

the road, battling the elements. The elements are always against you, the<br />

wind is trying to slow you, the climb is trying to break you, riders today<br />

need an advantage against these elements AND the competition.<br />

The Perfect Bike takes into account three MAJOR variables; Stiffness,<br />

Weight and Aerodynamics. A combination of the three makes for the most<br />

complete balance of attributes for transforming rider input into acceleration.<br />

For fewer watts, the rider can maintain the same average speed,<br />

keeping them fresh for whatever effort is most important. The advantages<br />

span across sprinting, climbing and overall stage winning disciplines found<br />

in road racing.<br />

THE OUTCOME: F01 AERO TECHNOLOGY<br />

F01 Technology is based on the theory that a partial airfoil shape without the trailing<br />

edge can produce the same aerodynamic advantage as a traditional foil shape. Modern<br />

foil shapes are largely based on models and ratios created for airplanes by the National<br />

Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), but because bicycles attain speeds far<br />

less than those of airplanes, these ratios do not necessarily apply to bikes. SCOTT Aero<br />

Science engineers have thus developed F01 Technology to create unique, bicycle specific<br />

tube shapes which maximize aerodynamic efficiency at lower air speeds.<br />

SCOTT Aero Science is a dedicated group of engineers within the SCOTT organization who, while<br />

committed to the Scientific Method, are charged with the task of innovating the most aerodynamic<br />

bicycles possible. They hypothesize beyond empirical thinking, experiment with new techniques to<br />

prove these hypotheses, and always produce data that can be reliably replicated. To prove SCOTT<br />

Aero Science theories, they employ CFdesign software to test concepts virtually before validating<br />

designs in the wind tunnel with quantifiable data. Bike designs are additionally tested with mannequins,<br />

actual riders, and a number of other environmental variables to ensure that test results<br />

accurately reflect real world riding conditions.<br />

Early flow separation<br />

= High drag<br />

Late flow separation<br />

= Limited drag<br />

Forced flow separation<br />

= Engineered separation point mimics<br />

a larger aerofoil, minimizing drag<br />
