The Addict CX RC is a purebred race machine.
Bicycling
It’s virtually an aero build and, aside from the knobbly tyres, feels as responsive as my road bike in all conditions – which is why it’s calling out to be raced.

The 700C wheels and Schwalbe tyres offer a surprising combination of road speed and off-road grip.

It was 2007 when Scott first revealed its 790g ultra-light Addict platform.

Highs
  • Amazingly responsive, but still comfortable for all-day racing. Clever integration and attention to detail.

Lows
  • Not enough test time to decide.
