Scott Addict RC 20
Featherlight HMX Carbon. Integrated Race Engineering.
The engineering hallmark of the Scott Addict RC 20 is its HMX Carbon Fiber chassis and hollow-tube construction. With over 20% increased stiffness compared to standard carbon layups of the same weight class, the HMX frame converts every watt of leg power into instantaneous forward motion without adding extra bulk. Combined with Scott’s eccentric carbon steerer fork and fully internal routing through the Syncros cockpit, the Addict RC 20 presents a clean, drag-reducing profile to the wind while maintaining a sub-7.3kg system weight.

The Alegro Perspective: The Addict RC platform has earned a legendary reputation among pure climbers and aggressive road racers. What makes the RC 20 stand out is how well Scott balanced weight, stiffness, and modern tire trends. At roughly 7.3kg out of the box, it flies up mountain grades, but pairing the stiff HMX carbon frame with 30c tubeless tires means you get incredible cornering traction and a shockingly smooth ride over rough pavement. It's a true high-altitude race machine that's ready to pin on a number right away.
