Lightweight Expertise

SCOTT’s commitment to developing lightweight bikes is inextricably linked to its expertise in carbon technology. For the all-new Addict RC, we have completely revolutionised our approach to producing carbon road bikes. Inspired by our approach to mountain bikes, we thoroughly revised our manufacturing techniques and looked for innovative ways to improve performance on the road. The result? A remarkable 300-gram weight reduction in the frame kit compared to its predecessor, without compromising on race performance.

A new method of carbon molding enabled us to produce a completely hollow frame with no dead ends in the tubes. This process is unique in the bike industry and only applicable if the frame design is specifically tailored to this production method.

Thanks to the smooth surface of the inflatable core, the inside of the frame is exceptionally clean, with no signs of cavities or creases. Due to the precise shape of the inside, excess resin is removed from the frame during the manufacturing process, leaving only what is strictly necessary for rigidity and strength.

Consistent pressure throughout the molding process ensures optimal compression of the layers. This makes it possible to avoid additional reinforcement, while reducing the thickness to just 0.6 mm in some areas.

Precision-Engineering

Our innovative manufacturing process (PP Mandrel) enables high-precision forming of inner surfaces and transition zones, combined with strength-optimised tube forming. This eliminates the need for additional reinforcements and unnecessary filler material. The result is top-class tube profiles and surfaces, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the frame without compromising on strength or rigidity.

Thanks to an improved carbon layup, a reduction in the number of carbon parts and joints, and exceptional attention to small details like the seat stays and saddle clamp, the team managed to save even more weight without compromising stiffness.

Geoptimaliseerde Geometrie

The geometry of the new Addict RC has been completely revised to seamlessly match our modern specifications for this bike. The design accommodates wider tyres and improves overall handling consistency across all sizes. Whether you are a professional rider or chasing local KOMs/QOMs on weekends, the new Addict RC offers increased agility and responsiveness, providing an unrivalled riding experience.

As standard, the bike comes with a 28mm tyre set. Need something wider? No problem. The frame offers enough room for tyres up to 34mm.

We tweaked the Addict RC’s geometry to remain agile in tight corners and enable fast steering manoeuvres. At the same time, we have ensured that the bike is stable enough to withstand sudden gusts of wind and doesn’t feel nervous at high downhill speeds.
