2025 Scott Addict RC unveiled: Sub-5.9kg weight for top spec bike

Scott has updated its Addict RC lightweight/aero road bike. Although it looks similar to the outgoing model on the surface, Scott says that the Addict RC has shed 300g, with the raw frame weighing a claimed 599g, or 640g with small parts, and the fork an additional 270g in size M for the top spec HMX-SL grade frameset. 

The lightest spec Addict RC Ultimate has a claimed complete bike weight of under 5.9kg. Scott says it’s achieved this without compromising frame stiffness or performance.

Scott says that it’s taken the expertise in carbon tech for its mountain bikes and applied the same PP Mandrel technique to the Addict frame to achieve the dramatic weight decrease. It’s changed how it moulds the frame members, so that the frame is completely hollow, without any closed ends to any of the frame tube elements.
