Winner of the opening and closing stages of the Tour Down Under and most recently stage two of the Herald Sun Tour, Caleb Ewan is enjoying a successful debut onto the World Tour stage aboard his 2016 Scott Foil.

From the ground up, Ewan's bike is gripping with Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700 X 23 tires fixed onto a Zipp 60 wheelset. Connecting wheels to bike is a full Shimano Dura-Ace groupset with an 11-28 rear cassette. Stopping all the speed he puts into those wheels is a set of Shimano Dura-Ace Direct Mount brakes.

 

 

Caleb's pedals are standard Shimano Dura-Ace PD-9000 Carbon and he clips into them with Scott Road Team Boa shoes. His socks and kit are all made by Craft, one of the Orica GreenEdge team's major sponsors. Under his Scott Vanish Aero helmet he wears Scott Leap sunglasses.

His 7.18kg Foil sports a Prologo Zero II Titanium saddle and comes with the optional Syncros Integrated headset and Syncros RR1.1 Carbon Anatomic handlebars. Caleb's seatpost and stem are both Syncros Carbon, and holding his front wheel secure is a Foil HMX Integrated Carbon Dropout Fork.

With his superstar status, Ewan would presumably be permitted to freelance with his components if he felt the urge, so the fact that he sticks to standard team issue with everything is a reflection of his satisfaction with the bike as a whole.
