Scott Addict Gravel 10 £5,899 | 7.93kg

Scott’s Addict range covers the whole gamut of drop-barred riding from road race through to this Addict Gravel 10, its top level off-road focused bike. Perfect for the gravel-racing scene that was set to take off this year. Sadly, it’ll have to wait.

Now a bit of housekeeping, before we get into the review: this Addict Gravel 10 should come with Shimano’s top flight electronic GRX Di2 groupset. However, our test bike came with a mechanical GRX as it was built as a show bike. The price listed is for a build with Di2, which is the only version available in the UK. So bear this in mind. If you wanted mechanical, the Gravel 20 and 30 both come as such.

Moving on, this full carbon pearlescent purple frame is part of Scott’s top-of-the-range Addict family that we’re used to seeing on the road and in the WorldTour
