Scott has refined the Addict to be a competitive, all-around road bike for 2020. At 17.84 pounds, the Addict RC isn’t a featherweight. Price wise, the RC 20

At less than half the price of the range-topping Addict RC Ultimate, is the Addict RC 15 less than half as good?
Confidence-inspiring ride
On-trend tan-walled tyres and matching saddle
Tubeless ready wheels
Ultegra Di2 is faultless as ever
Flimsy derailleur hanger
Only missing a power meter

Schwalbe tyres are puncture prone

The Scott Addict has gained a host of new features, yet somehow it has got lighter

It was 2007 when Scott first revealed its 790g ultra-light Addict platform. With it, Scott set a new benchmark for light and stiff racing frames, and a number of competitors spent years trying (with some success) to beat it. Since then, the Addict RC, Scott’s answer to a lightweight all-around race machine, has been ridden […]
Amazingly responsive, but still comfortable for all-day racing. Clever integration and attention to detail.
Not enough test time to decide.
