Scott Addict RC Team

The Scott Addict RC Team is a high-performance road bicycle engineered for competitive racing and climbing. The Addict line has a prestigious history in the cycling world, originally making waves in 2008 for its industry-leading lightweight frames. The 'RC' stands for Racing Concept, a designation Scott uses for products specifically developed for its professional racing teams. The current generation of the Addict RC focuses on integrating aerodynamics with extreme lightweight performance, utilizing the brand's proprietary carbon manufacturing techniques, such as the PP Mandrel process, to ensure structural efficiency without excess weight.

Today, the manufacturing of Scott's high-end carbon frames primarily takes place in specialized facilities in Taiwan, which is the global hub for advanced carbon fiber bicycle production. This ensures that the complex layup required for bikes like the Addict RC meets strict quality and safety standards while maintaining the weight targets demanded by professional athletes.

Ownership of the brand has evolved over the decades since its founding. Although it started as a winter sports innovator in the United States, it eventually became a global powerhouse based in Switzerland. Since 2015, the brand has been under the ultimate ownership of the South Korean Youngone Corporation. This partnership has allowed Scott to expand its global distribution and maintain its position as a top-tier manufacturer of bikes, winter sports gear, running equipment, and motorsports apparel.
