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

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

Habit-forming road racer-cum all-rounder that excels on ascents
Lightweight
Superb brakes
Rapid and engaging on rolling roads and climbs
Neat cable integration
Still areas where weight could be lost
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?
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

Very clever cable routing
Impressive race performance
Gear hanger is quite exposed to accidental damage

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.
