PLASMA 4 CONCEPT
Plasma 4 is the result of research and development based on the feedback of the
SCOTT-triathlon and time trial athletes searching for one of the most efficient
aerodynamics orientated yet affordable frames in the market.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on the frame and rider aerodynamics but also on the
bike’s ergonomic side and adjustability as well as the frame front end stiffness.
