Do Scott have Female specific versions?

For years, Scott has used the name Contessa to symbolise and differentiate the Women's range from the mens. Scott are strong advocates of using the same geometry on all their bikes - so why alter the geometry for women if they are seeking the same road riding thrill as their male counterparts.

Minor ergonomic features have been equipped with the Contessa specced Addicts such as: A shorter stem, Narrower bars and a Women's specific saddle. Combined, this makes for a much comfier ride as you take on the likes of Mam Nick.

Scott Addict RC Range-

Since the birth of the Scott Addict RC in 2008,it has proven to the cycling world to be a high performance all round competitor. In 2018, Simon Yates' won the Vuelta a Espana on his �trusty steed�. He claims that the bike is very easy to learn, train and race on thanks to its lightweight frame for better climbing performance. The frame is also stiffer to create a better power transfer from crank to cogs (whilst sprinting) alongside the addition of disc brakes enhancing performance in the rain.

With fully internal cable routing on all mechanical and electrical shifting models, the Addict has a clean aesthetic appearance without compromising on performance. Worried about not being able to work on your bike? Scott has created and added a �Syncros combo cockpit� to allow all cables to be easily accessed, neatly organised and run internally allowing for mechanics to easily adjust your setup.

With some of the best specifications on the market, the Scott Addict RC range is eager to win any mountain climb pass!

Scott Addict Endurance range -

Built from the ground upwards with the Addict RC in mind, Scott replaced their previous endurance bike, the Solace, with a regenerated Addict. With a shorter reach than the Addict RC, the Endurance puts the rider in a less strenuous position that allows for you to venture further alongside a higher stack. Compared to the Giant Defy or the Specialized Roubaix, admittedly it may not be as comfortable but that's because Scott has ensured that you still have the option to get lower and go faster when you want.

Scott Addict Gravel range -

Following the success Scott has received in the Mountain cycling discipline, it makes sense to put some of their extensive knowledge of off-road capabilities into their addict range by creating the Gravel edition. Internally routed with knobbly, wider tyres and high stack/short reach combination, the Gravel and CX Addict offers excellent off-road handling. This allows you to adventure into the unknown, tackling technical off road routes you never thought would be possible on a lightweight, drop-bar road bike.
