2009 Scott Plasma Limited Triathlon Bike

Everything on this bike is designed for optimum aerodynamics while keeping the frame extremely light. In addition the frame needed to be as compliant as its predecessor the CR1 Plasma frame. Scott has created the Plasma 2 frame using their proprietary IMP5 technology which uses a bladderless mold that combines the headtube, downtube, and seattube into one piece. The rear triangle is then attached seperately. This eliminates the need for "joints" dramatically drops the overall weight while improving stiffness and compliance throughout the frame. To this day Scott is the only company able to accomplish this feat and continues to keep this under wraps for fear of other manufacturers mimicing their design.

The integrated seat mast further reduces weight and is possibly one of the best additions on any bike! Once you ride on an integrated seat mast your opinion is changed forever! It is more compliant. It is stiffer. It makes the bike corner better. Effectively you have a longer carbon downtube dissipating vibrations while helping transfer power into forward motion.
