"However, not everyone interested in riding and owning a Scott Addict is pushing those race boundaries. Many still want high levels of performance without the discomfort that can come with a dedicated race bike. Scott designed the new Addict precisely with that in mind, including claims of 50% more comfort than the previous generation. Scott's new iteration of Addict comes with a new philosophy. While still prioritizing performance, this new philosophy celebrates the cycling community, emphasizing comfort and adventure."
"The new Scott Addict is designed with all-day comfort in mind. The bike achieves 50% more compliance than its predecessor, and 25% over its RC sibling. Scott did this by rethinking and reshaping tubing profiles, specifically at the seat tube and top tube. A slimmer seat tube created more flex, allowing for increased vertical compliance. A slimmer top tube also adds vertical compliance. Reconfigured seat stays enable outward flex to enhance overall smoothness."
The new Scott Addict prioritizes performance while shifting emphasis toward comfort and community-oriented adventure. Frame compliance increases by 50% versus the previous Addict and 25% versus the RC through reshaped tubing: a slimmer seat tube and top tube and reconfigured seat stays enable greater vertical and outward flex for a smoother ride. Two carbon layup options are offered: HMF balances stiffness, comfort, and weight with a 70g reduction versus its predecessor; HMX uses higher-modulus carbon to reduce material and cuts about 50g relative to the Addict RC SL. Tire clearance increases to 38mm for added versatility.
