SCOTT are confident enough not to send the flagship version of the Addict RC series into this group test, settling on the Addict RC Pro instead. No wonder, since the differences to the top-end model are limited. Besides a different carbon layup for the frame, the RC Pro uses a Shimano DURA-ACE Di2 groupset instead of SRAM RED eTap AXS, and Syncros wheels instead of Zipp. Is that enough for it to hold its own against the four fastest race bikes of the 2021 season?
Excellent climbing performance, despite bulky tires and the highest weight in the test
Good vibration damping
Loves corners and carving thanks to the wide tires
Good combination of smoothness and directness
Low inherent comfort of the frame
Sacrifices pure race performance with large tires
No power meter installed

A swift but enjoyable ride with Goldilocks "just right" qualities
Stiffness/compliance balance
Lightweight
Well designed internal cable routing system
Mech hanger (if we're really splitting hairs)

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

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.

SRAM’s gearing matched with the high overall compliance of the Scott Addict RC 20 adds much needed versatility to the market of increasingly compartmentalized road bike designs. It is fully capable of tackling the rigors of modern road riding from minimally maintained gravel roads, to fire roads, as well as buttery smooth asphalt.

Superb stiffness levels and great handling makes this one fun aero bike to ride hard
Very clever cable routing
Impressive race performance
Gear hanger is quite exposed to accidental damage

As good as a bike can be right now, ticking all boxes, with performance gains to spare. No escaping the price: worth it to some, not to all
Light
Responsive
Fast
Great engineering detail

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.
