What it's like to ride
This is the long-ride Addict, not the Addict RC. Scott raised stack 5 mm, cut reach 5 mm, and opened the frame to 38 mm tires. Seat tube, top tube, and dropped stays flex more. Head tube and BB stay as stiff as the RC. Zero spacers here matches 35 mm of spacers on an Addict RC.
Who it's for
All-day road riders who want Scott carbon without RC race fit. Anyone comparing a Domane or Synapse who still wants a light climbing bike. If you want the race position, Addict RC is the other Scott.
