SCOTT Addict RC Team Bike

SCOTT's commitment to crafting lightweight bikes is inseparable from its expertise of carbon technology. For the all-new Addict RC, we took our approach to carbon road bike manufacturing and flipped it on its head. Drawing inspiration from our approach to mountain bikes, we meticulously reevaluated our molding techniques, seeking innovative ways to enhance performance on the road. The outcome? A remarkable 300g reduction in the frame kit weight compared to its predecessor, and without any compromise on race performance.

Our innovative manufacturing process (PP Mandrel) enables high-precision molding of inner surfaces and transition zones, paired with strength-optimized tube shapes that eliminates additional reinforcements and unnecessary filler material. The result is best-in-class tubes profiles and surfaces, significantly reducing the total weight of the frame without sacrificing strength or stiffness.

The new Addict RC's geometry has undergone a comprehensive redesign to align seamlessly with our modern specifications for this bike, accommodating wider tires while enhancing overall handling consistency across all sizes. Whether you're a professional rider or chasing after the local KOMs/QOMs on the weekends, the new Addict RC promises heightened agility and responsiveness, ensuring an unparalleled riding experience.

The integration of advanced molding technology and a redesigned seat post clamping system allows for thinner seat tube walls and reduced material usage in this key frame part. Paired with the new innovative Syncros SP-R101-CF seatpost, the lower thickness of the seat tube enhances flexibility and promotes added comfort during longer rides. Furthermore, the all-new Addict RC offers a generous 34mm tire clearance, ensuring enhanced comfort even on the most challenging terrain.

The introduction of the all-new Addict RC set the stage for the development of a new innovative Syncros cockpit. With modern road groupsets featuring brake levers that flare out, our goal was to create an aerodynamic handlebar, achieved by incorporating a subtle flare on the drops to seamlessly blend with the brake levers, resulting in enhanced watt savings but also improved handling. Additionally, we improved cable routing and revamped the clamping system to shed additional grams. We offer multiple cockpit configurations, featuring 8 stem lengths from 70mm to 140mm paired with 5 bar widths from 360mm to 420mm, ensuring an optimal fit for every rider. 

We've engineered the new Addict RC to be effortlessly adjustable, setting a new standard in ease of setup. By streamlining bolt specifications and integrating a universal tool, we've revolutionized the adjustment process. Located discreetly within the cockpit or handlebar drop, the T25 key empowers riders to fine-tune stem, handlebar, seat post, saddle clamps, and even bottle cages with unparalleled simplicity. This innovative solution not only enhances user experience but also simplifies setup procedures for mechanics.
