Scott has redesigned its iconic Plasma time trial (TT) bike, creating the new Plasma RC TT. 

To do so the brand says it “went back to the drawing board with a simple goal: build the fastest bike we've ever made”. If Scott’s claims are true it’s been a success - it says the Plasma RC is 12% lighter than its predecessor - the Scott Plasma 6, while being 33 seconds faster over a 40km TT course when ridden at the same power output.
