2013 Scott Plasma Premium Road Bike Named Best in Men's Fitness Top Ten!


World Record Setter, Fastest Ironman Tri Bike


Scott Plasma Premium

Scott’s Plasma Premium tri bike was the fastest steed in this year’s Kona Ironman World Championship, when Sebastian Kienle powered his mount to a rookie win. The bike also set an Ironman world record last year with a super aero carbon frame that shaves weight where it isn’t necessary and reinforces key areas for maximum efficiency. We’re not saying you’ll win the next Kona, but you’ll break records—if only your own. Caveat: faster and lighter means an emptier pocket.

Here are the features of this incredible bike:

Integrated Steering System:

Fully integrated frame and stem system, Toptube, and stem continuity. Fully integrated cable routing is compatible with Shimano Di-2

 

IMP Technology Twin Turbo

Scott's engineers have developed IMP, one of the newest technologies applied to carbon production. The toptubne, headtube, seat tube and down tube are produced in a single step using a top-secret process. Scott's proprietary process allows for lighter construction by removing 11% of the material from the headtube intersection while increasing strength by utilizing high modulus stressed fibers for more precise fiber placement in critical areas. To compliment the IMP process, the frames benefit from the Naked External Tubeset which eliminates the cosmetic carbon layer to shave precious grams.

 

 Adjustable Seatpost

The integrated seatclamp increases the bike's aerodynamic properties and reduces drag without sacrificing function.

[VIDEO REVIEW] Just Released 2014 Scott Genius 740 Sweet All Mountain Bike

The 2014 Scott Genius 740 Bows Only to the 2014 Scott Genius LT 




It's one of the first Giant bikes available in 650b platform, and it's really well specced for the price. It may not be the best option for your first bike, but if you're looking for a step up from your first mountain bike, you will find both value and quality in this machine.

The Genius has 150mm adjustable suspension front (and rear) suspension that's tunable via a lever on the handlebars. You can change from fully open and plush 150mm travel, medium 110mm of travel, or lock it out completely for grueling climbs.

The Drivetrain is a Ten speed Shimano with Deore Shifters, Shimano SLX Front Derailleur and Shimano XT Rear Derailleur. It even has the option of an oversized axle on the back with interchangeable dropouts that let you change between a traditional 135x10, 135x12 thru axle and the new 142x12 mounting standard.

Built in chainguard, internally mounted cables, entry level disc brakes, and it rides great. Why don't you come by one of our locations to take a test ride for yourself!
