Scott is a Swiss brand (founded in the USA, now headquartered in Givisiez, Switzerland) that brings engineering precision to everything they make. With 242 used listings tracked and an average price around £4,240, the Addict is well represented on the used market. The Addict has historically been one of the lightest production road bikes available, and it continues to push boundaries in frame weight. Scott uses their HMX and HMF carbon layups to achieve remarkable stiffness to weight ratios. The Addict also introduced the integrated Syncros cockpit early, giving it clean lines and aerodynamic efficiency. Most used Addicts sit between £2,780 and £5,450, making it competitive with the Tarmac, SuperSix EVO, and Teammachine. ## What it's like to ride Light and stiff. The Addict climbs beautifully, responding instantly to changes in pace. The frame is one of the lightest in its class and you feel the lack of weight on every ascent. The handling is sharp and precise, rewarding committed riding. The ride quality is firm by endurance standards but reasonable for a race bike. Scott's carbon layup does a decent job of absorbing high frequency vibration while staying stiff for power transfer. The integrated Syncros cockpit gives clean aesthetics and good aerodynamics, though it does limit adjustments. Overall, the Addict is a serious race bike that competes with the very best. ## Who it's for Climbers and hill climb specialists. Road racers who want a lightweight advantage. Sportive riders tackling hilly courses. Riders who appreciate Swiss engineering without the BMC price premium. The Addict suits anyone who prioritises low weight and climbing performance. ## Good points - One of the lightest production road frames available - Outstanding climbing performance and power transfer - Proven at WorldTour level with BikeExchange and DSM - Competitive pricing compared to equivalent Tarmac or SuperSix EVO - Well represented on the used market with good availability ## Considerations - Integrated Syncros cockpit limits bar and stem adjustments - Scott dealer network in the UK is smaller than Specialized or Trek - Firm ride quality on rough roads over long distances - Resale value does not match the top tier brands ## Year guide The 2023 redesign brought improved aerodynamics while maintaining the low weight. The 2020 to 2022 generation is still an excellent climbing bike. Pre-2020 models are showing their age in terms of integration and cable routing. For the best value, a 2021 or 2022 RC 20 with Shimano Ultegra is a strong choice. ## FAQs ### Is the Addict a climbing bike or an aero bike? Primarily a climbing bike. The latest versions add aero tube shaping but the DNA is lightweight. For flat road speed, the Scott Foil aero bike is more appropriate. The Addict excels on hilly courses and where low weight matters most. ### How does the Addict compare to the Canyon Ultimate? Very similar bikes in purpose and performance. The Canyon Ultimate is typically cheaper at equivalent spec due to the direct sales model. The Addict has better dealer support and arguably better build quality. Both are excellent lightweight race bikes. ## Buying tips - The RC (Race Centric) frame is the premium version, WF (World Federation) is the mid range. Both are excellent - Check the Syncros cockpit for cracks. Integrated bars take significant loads from road vibration - Most used Addicts sit between £2,780 and £5,450. The RC 20 or RC 30 with Ultegra is the value sweet spot - Look at the bottom bracket. Scott uses T47 threaded on newer models which is better for long term maintenance - Older Addicts (pre-2020) with conventional stems are easier to fit and arguably better used buys for adjustability - Ask about crash history. Race bikes see more incidents and lightweight carbon can be more susceptible to damage ## Live data - **Browse listings:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/scott/addict - **Sold prices:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/sold-bike-prices/scott/addict - **Get a valuation:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/value/scott/addict - **Programmatic search (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/search?brand=Scott&model=Addict - **Valuation (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/valuation?brand=Scott&model=Addict --- Source: [https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/scott/addict](https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/scott/addict) Cite as: Cyclesite (cyclesite.co.uk), accessed 2026-09-06.
