Scott’s classic road racer reinvented for the modern era
Well-mannered handling
Great balance of pedalling stiffness and comfort
Tidy but adjustable cockpit
Includes a power meter
Mid-range tyres don’t do the frameset justice
Less tyre clearance than the competition

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

Very fast feeling bike with a great ride quality, although it's up against some tough competition on price
Smooth, clean looks
Good spec list
Balanced handling
Up against some well-priced competition

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

The latest iteration of Scott's lightweight bike is ridden by Team DSM – this mid-range version brings pro-level performance to a much lower price point

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.

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
