Summary
The Scott Addict gravel bike series is praised for its lightweight, responsive frame and versatile performance across various terrains. It offers a mix of road speed and off-road grip, with models featuring advanced components like SRAM Force 1 and GRX Di2 for precise shifting and braking. While some models are noted for their race-ready specs and excellent handling, others are criticized for being over-specced or too stiff for casual riding. The series includes options for both competitive racing and endurance rides, with some models highlighting modularity and aerodynamic features.

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.
Cycling NewsScott was quick to enter the then-emerging gravel market, becoming one of the first mainstream brands to launch a dedicated gravel bike.

The Scott Addict 30 delivers an exciting ride out of the box, and has the flexibility to appeal to sportive conquerors as well as mile munchers

Very impressive finishing kit

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

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 all-new 2022 Scott Addict Gravel aero carbon gravel bike goes fully-integrated in light, aerodynamic reboot for on & off-road adventures!
Jul 2021 · Ben Delaney
Longer, with more tire clearance, and more aero – the Addict Gravel takes cues from Scott's aero road bikes and its mountain bikes.
Sept 2020 · Marc Abbott
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
