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

Confidence-inspiring ride

Flimsy derailleur hanger
Only missing a power meter

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.
