Scott Plasma 5 » The Plasma 5 has been hogging all the media attention recently, and with good reason. This highly-integrated bike is the latest and greatest from the venerable brand, and it has some very interesting features.
Each year, Interbike begins with an Outdoor Demo day in Boulder City, Nevada. Although it's primarily catered to off-road bicycles, there is always some very high-tech aero gear hidden away in the sand. We managed to find so much of it that it's going to be split into two separate galleries. Here's the first of the two, featuring the brand new Scott Plasma 5, the LOOK 795 Aerolight, and the Fuji Norcom Straight, as well as some miscellaneous bits.
Scott Plasma 5 
The Plasma 5 has been hogging all the media attention recently, and with good reason. This highly-integrated bike is the latest and greatest from the venerable brand, and it has some very interesting features.
LOOK 795 Aerolight 
One of the most interesting new bikes is the LOOK 795 Aerolight. Although it's not a tri bike, it has some very interesting integration that could easily be seen on a next-gen TT bike from LOOK, which we were told would be launched next year.
Fuji Norcom Straight 
Nothing substantive about this bike has changed since I reviewed it last year, but the new nude carbon paint scheme is simply stunning, and I couldn't pass up showing it to you.
