Review: Fun & fast without being too twitchy, it inspires confidence – and pretty good value too cycling scottsports
Scott's Addict 10 is a well-priced endurance bike with a high-performance ride. It has a firm feel to it, but the carbon layup helps keep the comfort levels up, and the SRAM Rival AXS groupset adds to the efficiency.Scott describes the Addict as being designed from the ground up, with long days in the saddle at the forefront; it's Scott's endurance model, if you like.
The down tube's profile is huge, most noticeable at the bottom bracket shell, making full use of that width to repel the forces from hard pedalling efforts. The chunky chainstays help keep the rear wheel in check, too.This medium model has a 72.5-degree head angle, a degree or so less than most race bikes, but the steering is fast enough for high-speed descents.
As I mentioned above, the head angle is 72.5 degrees while the seat angle is 74, which definitely helps put you in a forward position to get the power down. Scott says it uses: 'Evo-Lap technology which dictates where and how the carbon fibres are laid to get the best out of them, using countless calculations from FEA software to simulate forces on the frame and fork, alongside real world testing.
The chainset uses 46/33-tooth rings, paired to a 12-speed 10-36T cassette. It sounds low but I found it to be very efficient, barely needing to come out of the large chainring, and when using the 10-tooth sprocket there is plenty of high-end speed available without spinning out.
