Scott Addict Gravel 10 review

Jun 2020 · Josh Croxton

The Scott Addict Gravel shares more than just a moniker with the brand's flagship road bike, making for a fast but forgiving gravel race machine

Highs
  • Fast-rolling and bombproof 700c Syncros wheels

  • GRX Di2 hood shape is brilliant

  • Gear ratio of 48/31 x 11-34 allows for road speed and steep climb success

Lows
  • Fragile tyres

  • Lack of mounts make it a no go for long-haul truckers

First Ride: Scott Addict RC 20

Scott Addict RC 2020 first-ride review: Now aero’ized - CyclingTips

Jun 2019 · Dave Everett

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.
