The previous Addict frames already had a remarkable weight of under 800 grams, but with the new edition, a new fiber has to be used to push the weight close to the 700 gram mark - in the frame size 54 centimetres. The engineers saved 14 grams on the hollow dropouts, while a redesigned front frame triangle and adapted seat stays reduced the weight by a further 30 grams.

But it's not just lightness and stiffness that Scott wants to give the new racer, comfort should also be on board. For example, the seat post should be able to absorb bumps in the road much more than before. The engineers have also focused on wind ventilation; thanks to a more drop-shaped frame tube diameter, there should be around 13 percent less air resistance at 45 km/h compared to the old Addict bike.www.scott-sports.com
