An impressively low weight
One of the most striking features of the new Addict RC is its drastically reduced weight. The frame weighs just 640g, a reduction of a whopping 300g compared to the previous model. This makes the Addict RC not only one of the lightest road bikes on the market, but also a gamechanger for mountaineers and riders aiming for maximum speed and efficiency.
Improved aerodynamics for more speed
Besides the low weight, Scott has put a lot of effort into aerodynamics. The frame features optimised tube shapes and a fully integrated cockpit, resulting in a 12-watt reduction in drag. This can make a big difference during fast descents, time trials or breakaways in the wind. The streamlined internal cable routing further contributes to a sleek and modern look without compromising on functionality.
Comfort: no more concessions
Where aerodynamics and weight often come at the expense of comfort, Scott has managed to solve this problem. Thanks to a new geometry and the use of advanced carbon lay-ups, comfort has been improved by a whopping 36%. This means the bike absorbs vibrations better, making long rides less stressful for the rider. This makes the Addict RC ideal for both classics over cobblestones and long days in the saddle.
Space for wider tyres
Another key innovation is the ability to fit wider tyres. The new Addict RC accommodates tyres up to 34 mm. This makes the bike not only more versatile, but also suitable for a wider range of terrains, from perfect asphalt to challenging gravel roads. Riders can therefore benefit from more grip and comfort without sacrificing speed.
Advanced production techniques
The Addict RC is the result of advanced manufacturing technologies. Scott has adopted a fully hollow frame design, eliminating blind spots and further reducing weight without compromising structural integrity. The integration of all cables within the frame makes maintenance easier and the design sleeker. The use of high-quality carbon materials also ensures excellent stiffness and durability.
Who is the Addict RC intended for?
The Addict RC is designed for the demanding rider who does not want to compromise. Whether you are a professional looking for a competitive edge in races, or an avid amateur looking to exploit the best technologies, the Addict RC offers the best of both worlds. The bike is available in different versions, so there is a suitable option for every type of rider.
A statement in design
Besides performance, the Addict RC also stands out for its sleek design. The minimalist frame with integrated cockpit and hidden cables exudes innovation and modernity. The bike is available in multiple colours and finishes, allowing riders to express their personal style without compromising on performance.
Conclusion
With the introduction of the new Addict RC, Scott confirms its position as one of the leading brands in cycling. This bike combines lightweight performance, improved aerodynamics, increased comfort and versatility in one groundbreaking design. The Addict RC is a logical choice for riders striving for the very best. Whether on steep climbs, long rides or fast descents, the Addict RC offers everything needed to push limits.
