Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Build Quality
The Scott Addict RC 20 isn't new, but it remains a road bike of excellent overall quality. It's not an economical bike; the tested model costs around 6500 Euros, but it offers good value for money. The frame is well-made, and the bike is well-assembled, consistent with its list price.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Frame
The frame is solid and prioritizes the weight-stiffness-aerodynamics ratio. It was among the first to adopt the concept of a lightweight yet stiff and aerodynamic bike. The availability of sizes and its overall quality are good. It's a fine product, nothing to fault. It's worth noting that maintenance is not simple, as with all road bikes featuring fully internal cable routing.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Configurations
The Scott Addict RC 20 version is assembled with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, which is a solid choice. It's a good mid-to-high range road bike. The tested bike weighs about 7.3kg, which isn't exactly light for a road bike, but it's in line with its competitors.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Comfort
The Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 is one of the most comfortable road bikes. It's certainly not an endurance bike, but among road bikes, it offers a very high level of comfort. It's excellent on well-paved roads, good on damaged roads, and you only truly suffer on very rough asphalt sections. It's impossible to ask for more from a frame with this level of performance.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Handling
The Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 is a very agile, reactive road bike that quickly responds to commands. It's a true lightning bolt, precise and fast, on long descents full of curves. It's not particularly sensitive to crosswinds. Stability at high speeds is good. Braking is excellent.
It's easy to control the bike on rough asphalt sections and at high speeds. There are more stable and secure frames, but they are less agile and reactive. Overall, for a bike destined for competition, the handling is easy, safe, and above all, very competitive.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Performance
The Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 has good overall performance, but it's clearly affected by its weight compared to lighter versions. Overall, it's a road bike with competitive performance on every terrain, relative to its weight and frame type.
It doesn't have a real weak point; it performs well everywhere, but it clearly excels on flat terrain and descents. On climbs, the increased weight is noticeable, while on descents, it's a very difficult bike to beat. In conclusion, it has excellent performance on flat ground, equally good on hills, sufficient on climbs, and excellent on descents. It's a truly versatile road bike, but it's best not to take it on genuinely difficult climbs. For the same configuration and weight, compared to other competitors, its frame exhibits excellent stiffness, certainly among the absolute best in its category.
Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 2025 Test Review: Pros and Cons
The Scott Addict RC 20 Shimano Ultegra Di2 proves to be an excellent road bike, with good value for money, although recent price increases have partially reduced this advantage. Its strong point is that it has no weak points; it performs well everywhere. Build quality is also good. Its only flaw is its not-so-low weight in absolute terms.
