That 2014 Scott Foil was by far the best road bicycle I ever had. Everybody kept telling me how stiff and uncomfortable it was supposed to be. I never found that, always loved it. The 2016 Addict I ride sometimes (that's the rain bike) has a more compliant ride, but the Foil's stiffness never bothered me at all. Maybe that's because my idea of a stiff race bike are like the older Cannondale aluminum bike I once old. That aluminum bike- now THAT bike had a crappy ride. And I still liked the Cannondale for how it handled, climbed, etc. Carbon fiber bikes are very good @ absorbing road shock and vibration, even the stiffest ones.

The 2017 is supposed to be a far more vertically compliant and comfortable bicycle.
