Exhibiting cutting-edge technology, performance-proven developments and a lightweight design, the all-new Addict 40 Road Bike has been upgraded by Scott to ensure that you experience the true spirit of adventure whilst out on the bike, no matter how fast you ride or where the road takes you. The lightweight HMF carbon frame has been upgraded to be 70g lighter than its predecessor, striking up a symbiotic balance between lightweight construction, responsive stiffness and comfort that last as long as you’re in the saddle. The frame features dialled-in flex to help smooth out rough roads and vibrations without making the ride feel soft or bouncy. Flanked by the reshaped seat tube that has been slimmed down for more vertical compliance so it can flex with the terrain and refined tube profiles, this new Addict range offers 25% more compliance than the race-focused Addict RC and a whopping 50% more than the previous Addict generation.

Experience a more relaxed geometry to support your endurance rides with the updated higher stack and shortened reach, seating you in a more natural upright position for optimised comfort. With its Syncros RP2.0 Disc 28 wheels and paired with Schwalbe’s ONE Fold 34mm tyres, the Addict 40 has been engineered to accommodate a tyre clearance of up to 38mm for enhanced vibration absorption and confident grip to remain under your control even when cornering or in slick conditions, and the improved head tube and bottom bracket stiffness contends with the Addict RC to keep this confidence in the Addict 40’s precise handling and efficient power transfer.

Equipped with Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes for efficient stopping power in a range of weather conditions and Shimano 105 24-speed electronic shifters for an easy, smooth gear shifting experience, the Addict 40 also features integrated mounting points to personalise your bike, from the mounting points hidden beneath the top tube that can be covered with rubber covers when you’re not using them to maintain a sleek, clean appearance, to the D-shaped seatpost that has been implemented to accommodate an integrated rear light for when your adventures keep you out past sunset. Elevating comfort and handling for a bike that belongs on long-distance stretches on the road, the Addict 40 is geared up and equipped with comfort, adaptability and performance in mind.
