SCOTT had one goal in mind when they started this project 4 years ago: to simply build the fastest bike the triathlon world has ever seen. To develop the bike you want to have when you strive for Kona glory or want to smash your previous bike split records. To make this possible, their engineers came up with completely new ways to look at aerodynamics, cockpit adjustability and storage integration.

The bike is specifically developed for the needs of triathletes and, unlike the Plasma 5, is not UCI compliant.

A moving rider has a substantial influence on the airflow around the bike and, ultimately, on the aerodynamic performance. Despite the extra effort required to examine this complex phenomenon, the airflow of the moving rider was considered from day 1 to make the Plasma 6 the fastest triathlon bike in real-life conditions.

DOWN TUBE POSITION
The most aerodynamically optimised position of the down tube would be directly behind the front tyre, but the slightest of movements in the front wheel would already create strong turbulence and significantly increase the drag. Extensive testing revealed that the second-fastest position is to have a significant gap between the front tyre and the down tube, which makes it the fastest one in real-life conditions.

BACK WHEEL ADJUSTABILITY
The same goes for the back wheel. The closer the tyre is to the seat tube, the more aero it is. In contrast to the front end, the back wheel is always aligned with the seat tube. To give every rider the chance to ride the most aerodynamic position no matter the wheel or tyre choice, you have 6 different wheel mount positions.

The Plasma 5 was ahead of its competitors when it came to storage integration. The Plasma 6 reaches an even higher level. Hydration, nutrition and storage integration have been considered as a cornerstone of the design from day one. Hydration and nutrition systems are integrated into the frame and cockpit, allowing the rider to drink and eat without leaving the aero position and making it easier to refill on the fly. The storage box and seatpost are designed to work together as a unique airfoil, while also allowing you to transport spare parts. Rider and bike become one system, working together to generate more speed.

Front Nutrition Box: Plenty of space for bars & gels.

Hydration Bottle Made from antibacterial polypropylene. XS - S 575ml, M-XL 620ml 

Gel Bottle: 400ml. Made from antibacterial polypropylene. Easy removal and fixation on the fly.

Seat Post Bottle: Direct mounting of either one or two bottle cages.

Rear Storage Box: Designed to have space for inflation devices, tubes and tools.

Both the pedaling efficiency and aerodynamic performance hugely depend on the riding position of the rider. Syncros engineers focused on creating a complete system of base bars, extensions and saddle positioning to allow for a huge range of adjustability, perfectly matching the unique needs of each rider, from Magnus Ditlev racing Ironman Kona to age groupers facing their first 70.3.

The cockput can be moved up and down

Large range of extension settings (from 0°; 2,5°; 5°; 7,5°; 10°; 12,5°; 15°)

Pads can be moved outside/inside 

Pads can be moved forward and backwards

Saddle guide can be moved forward and backwards

WORKS FOR EVERY RIDER
The goal was to have a bike that works for every rider – from Kona winners to weekend warriors. 99.9% of riders should be able to find their perfect position. This was confirmed by leading German bike fitter, gebioMized, who analysed the positions available and compared them to their extensive rider database.

The Plasma 6 is an easy traveler. To get it safely to the next race, you can remove the cockpit in one piece and fit it into any bike travel bag.

The Plasma uses a race geometry that meets the requirements of both SCOTT's professional riders and sportive customers.

Belcarra TRI
Syncros developed the Belcarra TRI with bio-mechanical experts, gebioMized, to provide a scientific package for the triathlon rider. The result is a solution focused on a marriage of bio-mechanical efficiency, comfort and stability in an aerodynamic package. Raced by Magnus Ditlev and Ashleigh Gentle at the highest level.

QUOTES

“I love my SCOTT Plasma for triathlon because it's more than just a bike—it's a weapon in the race against the clock. Its aerodynamic design slices through the wind, giving me that extra edge on the bike leg. The lightweight frame feels like an extension of my body, allowing me to climb hills with ease and power through the flats. Additionally, the customisable fit ensures I'm in the optimal position for maximum efficiency and comfort, so I can focus on pushing my limits and achieving my goals. Simply put, my SCOTT Plasma is my trusted partner in the pursuit of triathlon excellence."
