Scott Plasma 20 2010
Designed with triathlon especially in mind the Plasma 20 features a full carbon fibre frame formed with IMP5 technolgy to offer a lighter frame and components of the highest quality to offer the ultimate Triathlon bike.
Plasma
The Plasma2 was designed to be the range of optimum triathlon bike. Using Scott’s IMP5 technology to ensure the shape of the frame is created to be aero dynamical at high speeds. Utilising Shelter127 with the speed skeg bottom bracket design. The twin turbo aero carbon Chainstays and integrated cable routing further reduce wind drag to an amazing 4.952 Newtons. Designed with the input of world class triathletes which lead to comfort improving devices for long distance triathlons, such as the Ritchey seat clamp allowing the ride to adjust the effective seat angle from 73 to 79 degrees and the geometry ensures a confident, aerodynamic ride.
IMP - Integrated Moulding Process
Scott’s engineers have developed IMP which is a new technology applied to carbon production. The Toptube, headtube and downtube are all produced in a single step using a top secret process. This proprietary process allows for lighter construction by removing 11% of the material from the headtube intersection. IMP also increases strength by utilising high modulus stressed fibres with more precise fibre placement in critical areas. The frames also benefit from NET which is Naked External Tubeset which shaves additional weight of by eliminating the outer cosmetic carbon layer.
