Summary

The Scott Addict is a lightweight, versatile endurance bike praised for its comfortable ride and reliable performance across various terrains. It excels in climbing and offers confidence-inspiring handling on descents, though some builds may lack sprinting pop and have heavier wheelsets. The bike's design balances stiffness for efficiency with comfort features like thin seat stays and wide tires.

Pros
  • Lightweight frame

  • Versatile all-rounder

  • Comfortable ride

  • Reliable disc brakes

  • Excellent climbing bike

Cons
  • Missing a bit of pop in sprinting compared to higher spec'd builds

  • Syncros RP2.0 Disc wheels are on the heavier side

  • Shimano ST-RS685 shifters may be bulky for small hands

Key Quotes
The Addict is a great climbing bike and I set some PRs on some familiar roads feeling exceptionally good in and out of the saddle on the Addict when the road turned up.

the Addict Gravel is of few cyclocross/gravel bikes that can truly rival a dedicated road machine in terms of pure efficiency — it’s the proverbial two-wheeled rocketship, super eager to accelerate.

Scott Addict 20 disc review

Mar 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Comfortable, lightweight frame with good value Shimano kit but a sturdy ride. Buy if you want a lightweight, well-specced, all-rounder with extra robust tyres

Highs
  • Light, smooth ride with full Shimano 105 stop and go kit

Lows
  • Heavy-duty tyres and frame is damped rather than dynamic in feel

Scott Addict Gravel 10 Disc review: The sportier end of the spectrum - CyclingTips

Oct 2017 · James Huang

The line between cyclocross bikes and gravel bikes has always been fuzzy, but Scott is blurring that line even further with its Addict Gravel range, which uses the exact same frameset as the Addict CX family, but with a build kit aimed more at backroads exploring than riding in muddy circles.
