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.
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.
Adventure and all-road riders who want more stability than the Grail race bike.
Slacker and more stable than the Grail, with room for bigger tires. Planted on rough doubletrack and less nervous at bikepacking pace.
Gravel riders who want comfort and tire room. Racers may prefer SuperX.
Gravel Cannondale with Kingpin rear flex on carbon models. Stable, progressive, and happier on chunk than SuperX.
Gravel riders shopping Liv specifically.
Liv gravel: stable, capable, and closer to Revolt than to Langma. It wants mixed surfaces, not a crit.
