The room in which we have to differentiate ourselves may be getting smaller, but in the new bike we have done all we can to get an edge.

The Addict proved the stiffest and most direct frameset in our entire test field – which means not one single watt is lost.

SCOTT Addict RC Ultimate Disc Review

Apr 2018 · Manuel Buck, Robin Schmitt, Benjamin Topf

With a weight of just 6.82 kg in size M, the SCOTT Addict RC Ultimate Disc is the lightest disc-equipped racer in our test – and its € 9,999 price tag also makes it one of the most pricey ones. But is the investment worth it? We tested the SCOTT Addict for you thoroughly.
