SCOTT Addict RC 40

The 2023 SCOTT Addict RC 40 represents the best way to get into Shimano's new 105 Di2 12-speed drivetrain. In addition to electronic shifting, you also get the same HMX carbon frame as almost every other Addict-RC, with aero properties that make the Addict RC-40 a race-ready machine.

The SCOTT Addict RC 40 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 40 is able to respond to rider input instantaneously while maintaining stability. Like the new Foil, the Addict RC 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 bottom bracket stiffness. 

Through precision carbon fiber layering, SCOTT is able to reinforce key zones of the Addict RC 30 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 a compact alloy 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 40 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.
