The SCOTT Addict RC Ultimate, like everything else with the Ultimate name from SCOTT, is the brand's no sacrifices made bike. Everything is the best of the best. From the HMX SL frame, Zipp 353 NSW wheels, SRAM RED AXS drivetrain with power meter, to the Syncros one-piece handlebars, SCOTT didn’t cut any corners. Even the bike’s Schwalbe Aerotans tubes are the best of the best.

The new Addict RC Ultimate utilizes a race geometry that meets the requirements of professional riders and sportive speed demons. With aggressive positioning, handling is very direct and the Addict RC Ultimate is able to respond to rider input instantaneously while maintaining stability. Like the new Foil, the Addict RC Ultimate has low seat stay attachments to further increase the ride smoothness to account for poorly paved roads and encounters with mixed surfaces. Because the change is made at the seat stay, a smooth riding experience is achieved without compromising pedaling efficiency or stiffness of the bottom bracket. 

Through precision carbon fiber layering, SCOTT is able to reinforce key zones of the Addict RC Ultimate in order to increase the stiffness at the bottom bracket and headset without altering the compliance of the seat stays. Alongside this increase in stiffness, we are also granted a lighter bicycle, as SCOTT implements hollow structure, minimum bonding points, and no alloy parts for drop-out or brake mounts. The increased stiffness and lightness will immediately aid in acceleration, maintaining speed, and in blowing past the hordes on weekend canyon rides. 

Clean and uncluttered, SCOTT prioritizes internal routing and an ergonomic carbon handlebar to keep you feeling good, looking better, and pedaling fast. Ready to turn heads and win races from the moment you walk out of the bike shop, the 2023 ADDICT RC Ultimate is here with a need for speed. Come on into Contender Bicycles to see why we are excited about SCOTT’s 2023 ADDICT RC series of road bikes.
