As the 2025 race season gets underway, the Fensham Howes MAS Design junior team is hitting the road on some seriously dialed equipment. This year, the team is riding the Scott Foil RC 10, a bike built for speed, efficiency, and all-out racing performance. But this isn’t just any stock setup. Riders have requested a few key upgrades to ensure their riders have every advantage when it matters most.
The Scott Foil RC 10: aero meets lightweight performance
Scott’s Foil RC series has long been a benchmark for aero road bikes, and the RC 10 strikes the perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency and all day race comfort. With its lightweight HMX carbon frame, aggressive geometry, and integrated cockpit, the Foil is designed to cut through the wind and respond instantly to accelerations, whether in a breakaway, sprint, or full-gas attack.
Here’s how they’ve fine-tuned the bike for maximum speed:
Upgrades and customization
- Shimano Dura-Ace 54/40 chainrings
Junior racing is all about leg speed and power, and the Fensham Howes squad is running Shimano Dura-Ace 54/40T chainrings to ensure they can keep the watts flowing on fast courses, especially in those Belgian cobbled races. Compared to the stock 52/36 setup, this bigger chainring combo gives riders more top-end speed while maintaining the efficiency needed for long, hard efforts. - Continental GP 5000 S TR Tyres: 30mm rear, 28mm front
Tyre choice is critical for grip, comfort, and rolling resistance. The team is running a 30mm Continental GP 5000 S TR on the rear for added traction and comfort, while a 28mm front tyre keeps handling sharp and aero efficiency high. These tubeless-ready tyres are among the fastest on the market, providing low rolling resistance and excellent puncture protection, essential for winning races. - 38cm Handlebars for Aero Gains
Bike handling is just as important as raw power in junior racing, and narrower 38cm handlebars offer a streamlined position for reduced drag. The narrower bars not only improve aerodynamics but also give the riders better control in tight racing situations, whether they’re navigating the peloton or attacking on technical courses.
A set up built for winning
With a world-class frame, pro-level drivetrain, and fine-tuned contact points, the 2025 Fensham Howes MAS Design team bike is ready for action. Whether it’s battling it out in the biggest British and European junior races or setting up riders for a future in the pro ranks, this Scott Foil RC 10 is built to deliver results.
One thing’s for sure—expect to see this bike at the front of the action all season long.
