One fun aero bike to ride hard

March, 2020

The huge down tube, oversized bottom bracket area, chunky chainstays and tapered head tube all shout rigidity and speed, and they certainly deliver.

You can really get the power down without the slightest hint of flex anywhere through the bottom half of the frame, and thanks to a relatively light weight of 7.88kg it feels very responsive. It carries speed in such an 'unflustered' manner too. What do I mean by that? Basically, you often find yourself travelling faster than you think you are – numerous times I glanced down at the computer expecting to see low to mid-teens miles per hour and I was actually nudging the twenties. On the whole, the Scott Addict RC 30 has all the benefits of a full-on race bike but with the easy riding characteristics of an endurance-based machine.
