The S5 HT is there to avoid spacers, which aren't as aero. But it's noticeable that the stack is exactly the same as the R5, due to a shorter fork. And, with my height, the HT makes it more possible to fit me.
Anyone have some riding experience on the Foil that they can share?
Funny you mention that, becaue the Chinese knock offs of the Foil have the wedge design. Even they figured out that other method was bunk before Scott did.
Understood the fit issue, everyone is different for sure and the S5 might be a better fit/geometry. The only guy I knew who rode a Foil Premium is a LBS owner who was testing one out off the floor. Normally he rides his Guru custom road bike. He said he thinks he likes the Foil better. What exactly he meants by that, I don't know.
