The SCOTT Addict Gravel is a high-performance bicycle designed for gravel riding, featuring a lightweight frame and components optimized for varied terrain. Its construction emphasizes durability and comfort, making it suitable for long rides on unpaved roads and trails. The bike incorporates advanced engineering to provide a responsive and stable riding experience, whether tackling challenging climbs or navigating technical descents.
The Addict Gravel is engineered to excel in diverse gravel conditions, offering a blend of speed, stability, and comfort. Its frame geometry is specifically tailored to provide a balanced ride, allowing for efficient power transfer while maintaining a comfortable position for extended periods. The bike's design accommodates wider tires, enhancing traction and cushioning on rough surfaces, which is crucial for gravel riding. The integration of disc brakes ensures reliable stopping power in all weather conditions, a vital safety feature for off-road adventures. The frame also features multiple mounting points for accessories such as bags, fenders, and extra bottle cages, making it highly versatile for bikepacking and touring. This adaptability allows riders to customize their setup based on the demands of their journey, from short day rides to multi-day expeditions. The internal cable routing contributes to a clean aesthetic and protects cables from dirt and damage, prolonging their lifespan and ensuring smooth shifting and braking performance.
The Addict Gravel offers several features that enhance its usability and performance. The bike's cockpit is designed for optimal control and comfort, featuring a gravel-specific handlebar with a 16-degree flare and shorter reach. This design provides a wider, more stable grip in the drops, improving handling and reducing fatigue on rough terrain. The fully integrated cable routing through the stem and headset not only contributes to the bike's sleek appearance but also protects the cables from external elements, ensuring consistent performance. The bike is compatible with various stem and handlebar options, allowing riders to fine-tune their fit and preferred riding position. The headset system is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, with specific spacer kits available for different stem configurations.
The Addict Gravel utilizes a D-shaped Syncros Duncan Aero SL seatpost and seatclamp, which are shared with the Addict RC model. This design offers aerodynamic benefits and a secure, comfortable seating position. The availability of different seatclamp options ensures compatibility and proper fit.
For versatility, the frame includes mounts for a front derailleur (FD) and a chainguide, catering to different drivetrain preferences, including 1x and 2x setups. The inclusion of cable guides and protection kits further enhances the bike's adaptability, allowing for the installation of various accessories while maintaining a tidy and protected cable management system. The frame is also designed to accommodate dedicated fenders, providing protection from spray and debris during wet rides, which is essential for gravel and all-weather commuting. The C-Stay protection kit offers additional durability, safeguarding the chainstays from impacts and chain slap.
Maintaining the SCOTT Addict Gravel is straightforward, with several design elements aimed at simplifying upkeep. The use of standardized components, such as the dropout system shared with the Addict RC family, ensures that replacement parts are readily available. The hanger comes in both standard and direct mount options, providing flexibility for different derailleur types. Front and rear axles are available in standard and tapered versions, allowing for compatibility with various wheelsets.
The manual emphasizes the importance of professional installation and maintenance, recommending that all work be performed by an Authorized Scott Dealer. This ensures that the bike is assembled and serviced correctly, preserving its performance and warranty. The warranty policy highlights the need for annual maintenance services, performed by an authorized dealer, to extend the frame and swingarm warranty to five years. This structured maintenance approach helps in identifying and addressing potential issues early, preventing more significant problems down the line.
The internal cable routing, while aesthetically pleasing, also protects the cables from dirt and moisture, reducing the frequency of cable replacements and adjustments. The headset system is designed for durability, and specific spacer kits are available for replacement, ensuring proper functionality. The availability of protection kits for the frame, such as the C-Stay protection, helps prevent cosmetic and structural damage, reducing the need for extensive repairs. The manual also provides clear guidelines on what the warranty covers and what it does not, empowering owners to understand their rights and responsibilities regarding bike care. It explicitly states that improper or incorrectly performed maintenance by unauthorized personnel voids the limited warranty, underscoring the importance of professional service.
