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

Scott Addict RC 15 review

Aug 2020 · Josh Croxton

At less than half the price of the range-topping Addict RC Ultimate, is the Addict RC 15 less than half as good?

Highs
  • Confidence-inspiring ride

  • On-trend tan-walled tyres and matching saddle

  • Tubeless ready wheels

  • Ultegra Di2 is faultless as ever

Lows
  • Flimsy derailleur hanger

  • Only missing a power meter

Scott Addict RC Pro road bike review

May 2020 · Dan Cavallari

The Addict RC Pro feels like a jack of all trades that's a lot of fun to ride, but it could stand to hone its main purpose to become a master in one category.

Scott Addict 30 Disc review

May 2018 · Robin Wilmott

The Addict 30 Disc is a superior back lane conqueror or mixed route masher, with a sporty, comfortable ride and sensible spec. Buy if you want a bike that’ll make long rides over almost any surface a more pleasant experience

Highs
  • Responsive frame, voluminous tyres, excellent ride quality

Lows
  • Lower kit spec adds weight, not a rapid climber

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.
