Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Build quality
The Scott Addict RC 10 is not new, but it remains one of the racing bikes of excellent overall quality.
It is not a cheap bike, about 5300 euros for the model under test, but it has a good quality-price ratio.
The frame is well made and the bike well assembled, in line with its list price.
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Frame
The frame is valid and focuses entirely on the weight-aerodynamic rigidity ratio.
It was among the first to adopt the concept of a light, but rigid and aerodynamic bike.
Good availability of sizes and its general quality.
A nice product, nothing to say; to point out the maintenance is not at all simple, like all racing bikes with completely internal cable routing.
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Assemblies
The Scott Addict 50 version is assembled with the Shimano 105 groupset, a valid but not light groupset.
An entry level racing bike in the range.
The weight of the bike tested is about 7.7Kg, not exactly light for a racing bike, but in line with competitors.
As always, current bikes have had a clear involution, but in the end it is the market that decides ...
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Comfort
The Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 is one of the most comfortable racing bikes.
It is clearly not an endurance bike, but among racing bikes it has a very high comfort value.
Excellent on well-paved roads, it is good on ruined roads and it really suffers only on very ruined stretches of asphalt.
It is impossible to ask for more from a frame with these performances.
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Guide
The Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 is a very easy to handle, reactive racing bike, quick to follow the orders given.
A real lightning bolt, precise and fast, on long descents full of curves.
Not particularly sensitive to side winds.
Good stability at speed.
Excellent braking.
Easy to control the bike on sections of ruined asphalt and at high speeds.
There are more stable and safe frames, but they are less easy to handle and reactive.
Overall for a bike intended for competitions the ride is easy, safe, but above all very competitive.
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Performance
The Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 has good overall performance, but is clearly affected by its weight compared to other lighter versions.
Overall it is a racing bike with competitive performance on every route, in relation to its weight and the type of its frame.
It has no real weak point, it goes strong everywhere, but clearly expresses itself best on flat and downhill.
Uphill you feel the greater weight, while downhill it is a very difficult bike to overtake.
In conclusion it has excellent performance on flat, equally good on hills and sufficient uphill, excellent downhill.
A true multipurpose racing bike, but it is better not to take it on really difficult climbs.
With the same assembly and weight, compared to other competitors, its frame highlights excellent rigidity, certainly among the best in its category.
Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 2025 test review Strengths and weaknesses
The Scott Addict RC 30 Shimano 105 Di2 turns out to be an excellent racing bike, with a good quality/price ratio, even if the recent increases have partly reduced the advantage.
Its strong point is that it has no weak points, it works everywhere.
The construction quality is also good.
The only flaw is the weight, which is not exactly contained in absolute terms.
