The new Addict takes cues from Scott’s more aero bikes to hit higher speeds on the road. It has dropped seatstays, taller chainstays, and a slightly deeper aero tubing profile. The frame as a whole is also 14.5 percent stiffer than the previous generation through the backbone of the downtube, bottom bracket, and chainstay. With all of the cables tucked away, they stay out of the wind, making every watt count. It is compatible with both electronic and mechanical shifting and hides cables internally. This professional version is equipped with a SRAM Force eTap AXS electronic groupset to bring out your best performance.
Premium HMX carbon is used to construct the Addict RC frame as many of their high level road bikes are. HMX is lighter than HMF while having the slight comfort edge over HMX-SL models. A completely hollow seat and chainstay construction and hollow dropouts minimize weight. Even the seat clamp is lower in weight than previous years. The carbon layout is carefully placed to improve stiffness without adding weight. Overall, the frame is very light and an excellent climber. Revised fork blades are also incredibly aerodynamic while remaining as light as possible. The dropped seatstay design adds stiffness and keeps the rider comfortable. With this lightweight build and optimized profiles, the Addict is unstoppable in all areas.
Integration on the Addict RC is a huge factor in its suitability for road performance. A lack of visible cables or routing ports lead to a sleek look and enhance the aerodynamic nature of the bike. Scott claims that they are the only company to successfully integrate all kinds of shifting with equal steering and braking performance as well as a properly stiff headtube. This version has a Syncros Creston Alloy/RR bar/stem combo to lower the price on front end integration. The Scott Addict RC is a climbing bike that can dominate all areas of the road.
