2026 Scott Addict RC 20 - HMX Carbon, Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12, Syncros Capital 1.0 Carbon Wheels
The 2026 Scott Addict RC 20 is a thoroughbred race machine that brings professional-level technology to a broader range of competitive cyclists. It utilises Scott’s signature HMX Carbon layup, providing a significant increase in stiffness and a reduction in weight compared to standard carbon frames.
The 2026 Scott Addict RC 20 is the high-performance sweet spot of the "Race" range. It sits just above the RC 30, upgrading the groupset to the more refined Shimano Ultegra Di2 and featuring a more integrated carbon cockpit.
Unlike the endurance Addict 20 (which uses an HMF frame and 3$38 ext{mm}$ clearance), this RC version is built on the stiffer, lighter HMX Carbon frame. It is designed specifically for competitive road racing and climbing.
Full specifications can be found on Scott's website here:
Shimano Ultegra Di2 Drivetrain: The R8150 2x12-speed groupset is the gold standard for racing. It offers faster shifting than 105 and improved ergonomics. It is paired with a race-ready 52/36T chainset for high-speed descents and flat-out sprints.
Syncros Capital 1.0 40mm Carbon Wheels: These deep-section carbon wheels offer aerodynamic performance while remaining stable in crosswinds.14 They are exceptionally light, helping the bike excel on steep gradients.
Fully Integrated Cockpit: The Syncros HB-R100-CF carbon handlebar provides a stiff platform for out-of-the-saddle efforts and hides all brake hoses internally for a clean, aero profile.
The "RC" stands for Racing Concept. This means a shorter head tube and longer reach compared to the standard Addict, putting the rider in a more aggressive, aerodynamic position. The frame also features an Eccentric Carbon Steerer, allowing for seamless cable integration without compromising the bike's front-end stiffness.
