SCOTT ADDICT RC vs FOIL vs ADDICT | COMPARED | BIKOTIC

[@bikotic]

***It's been pointed out to me that the Scott Foil's below the PRO version are actually HMF carbon frames not HMX carbon as I say in the video. The forks are HMX carbon. My mistake, can't believe I missed this!!!! BIKOTIC.

[@minhhieudang7951]

did u see new problems with canyon aeroad seatpost? it will surprise u :))))

[@ntglf467]

i'm a simple man. i see a new bikotic video, i click.

[@MasteringGrappling]

Addict rc 15 for me. That’s my dream bike. Love the integration in the cockpit.

[@mitchlabrador]

Best bike comparison video I’ve watched in a long time. Very much like the use of data to inform rather than how it feels as that is very subjective. One recommendation would be to to discuss the best value in terms of group set types, for example, what’s the best value for electronic groupsets as well as for mechanical groupsets, nothing that can’t be deduced from the spreadsheet. Brilliant you include the spreadsheet BTW. Thanks very much mate!! I purchased the Addict RC 15.

[@cubatea]

totally agreed with you about the confusion of the number of Addicta. I was looking seriously at them but got confused and decided to cast my attention elsewhere.

[@tlyons4758]

Thanks for laying out all of Scott’s offerings in one place. Very informative. I’ve been very happy with my 2020 Addict RC 20.

[@455LT1]

My Ribble Endurance SL will be delivered next week. Can't wait. The Addict RC40 is nice bike.

[@markj.a351]

The Foil is currently my choice for my next bike. I just wish they would offer it with Ultegra DI2 with the carbon wheels.

[@ErickGonzalesF]

This list made me pull the trigger to a RC 15 2022, now is a waiting game ahaha

[@undfted]

One of the best .. if not the best vids on info/detail on Scott bikes :) .. thank you very much!!.

[@treyquattro]

A Withnail & I meme (sort of)! You wonderful, crazy person!

[@dannyhuang5930]

I love the commentary! Just made things so much more interesting.

[@janb4406]

Wow! Thanks for the upload and all the effort you put in it. Cheers!

[@ramsden35]

Brilliant! I’m just about to buy a Scott Addict 20 as my first “nice” affordable bike. This really helped thank you.

[@robby_robby_g]

Did you? I did in 2022 and it was the best bike decision I’ve ever made! I got 45mm deep farsport wheels with an internal width of 24mm and I run 28-30 tires and it’s super comfy, stiff and fairly light.

[@DJKLIBRA]

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for with all the choices to be made.

[@markcurran65]

Great vid - thanks. I have little interest in Scott bikes, but I do like the Ribbles so getting the comparisons has helped me to change the Ribble bike I was going to order. Nice one. Keep up the good work.

[@thecyclingmaker]

It's a "show" now, we've gone upmarket, nice!

[@saracen888]

The geometry of the Ribble bike is anything but Endurance. Excellent value, but they're race bikes for anyone interested.

[@elson041]

Great video. Can’t get over the gap between spacer and frame on the Addict RC. We going get a review on the new bike ?

[@pocopoco2347]

ooooooooooooooo another bikotic video I'm so pumped

[@AllanPhillips]

Very helpful info - really appreciate both the high res jpg and the spreadsheet.

[@Stealthgate007]

I was looking for a 2021 foil 30 which brought me here, they are out of stock everywhere. THIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED!!! I binged watched about an 1hr or so of content! Great Stuff.. Happy to be a new subscriber!

[@bikotic]

Cheers, made my day that 😁

[@monochromfotoart]

I came for the bikes and stayed because of Withnail, imho the best Addict one can get. Thank you for the in-depth comparison, helped me a lot!

[@Countrystock]

Loving the in-depth content.....nice one

[@bdhaene]

Love the vid! Love the comparison view per component groups, very interesting to see! Could you do a gravel vid?

[@andrewjscott7]

Exceptional video. Incredibly helpful and interesting. Thanks for huge effort.

[@tunic]

a UX issue on your website: the light gray you use for the links 1) does not make them look clickable 2) does not have enough contrast and makes the text hard to read (you could make them blue)

[@kareemalqasmi]

Super thankful for the help, I am struggling with the fact that scott has too much information

[@hotdoug1000]

Shoutout to Duncan, nice to see so many addicts in one place. Love the comparisons, love the dulcet tones. 'Data Collected 02 October 2020' lol. SL = super lottaprice! Keep em coming!👏

[@matthewfink1420]

We miss your videos, please release more soon?

[@antiherogaming2]

any thoughts on the Colnago V3 vs the V3rs?

[@duartesantos3535]

Thank you for such an articulated and thoughtful review. Could you perhaps do the same for the 2022 models of each of these lines? Congratulations on your great work.

[@patrickparisienne1917]

Great video, well done!

[@mincehogan9508]

Scott couldnt have made their product naming anymore complicated if they tried.....................

[@courtnibooker85]

Great video. Thanks for all of the details.

[@LuukeyB]

Definitely think you chose the better year to buy your Scott! The 2021 colours look a bit pants in comparison

[@bear5197]

Thank you

[@schoebelski6602]

i 💛 the yello bike 😁 …great video, as always. many thanks 😊 🙏

[@genxlife9650]

Your videos are fantastic. Do you have a similar spreadsheet with a few more brands? Canyon, Factor, Specialized… this definitely would help me figure out which bike I should purchase. Thank you

[@keironross8509]

I would say the foil is the perfect all rounder had a 2020 addict rc not very comfy struggled to maintain speed on the flats not bad on the hill I now have a 2021 foil what a bike comfy very fast on the flats and it flys up hills excellent allroad bike

[@jeremiahchan8820]

Hey Bikotic! Love your videos, but was wondering if you could do a video about which bikes are the most value for money for an electronic groupset? Di2, Etap or EPS

[@markoverton2954]

Hi...I'm interested in the new 2022 Scott range...particularly the Addict range the 2022 Addict 20 & 30 and Addict RC 15. Also, how the new Ultegra blue tooth functionality works is also an interesting subject I think. Thanks. Great channel too.

[@kuanhau4323]

The tube shapes would look really nice with a custom paintjob. Would love to see what you would do with your own Scott bike. Maybe something in the same vein as that Gulf racing Propel? And would you paint the stem, seatpost and handlebar too?

[@bikotic]

not a fan of painting the stem - that red BMC stem is a howler I think Kuan

[@boatscrypto5856]

matte black was coolest bike of the bunch

[@AfonsoRamosmtb]

Great video as aways! have you ever thought about making videos about mountain bikes ?!

[@bikotic]

Yep, I love MTB's - I have made a few, and keep meaning to make a new one, and then get distracted, not enough hours in the day!!

[@totoysawa]

Great job ❤

[@dannyMCDelight]

Scott knows their customers are hardcore addicts. They will buy anything

[@mallefougaz523]

Great analysis thx!!👍🏻

[@kuzzzzzzzzzzzz7511]

Make a video with all around bike aero and climbing bike

[@jc5146]

Bikotic, been cycling a bit now on a cube hybrid bike, looking at purchasing a giant TCR advanced pro 1 disk. So price range of 3.5 to 4k mark. My first full road bike if you will. Any chance if looking at it against some similar type competitors. Thanks

[@edwardhoward6556]

Love your videos. Could you have a look at the Planet X EC130e next?

[@5cottins]

Hy just to say thank you for the vidéos.. by the way Still happy with rhe addict ? Any vidéo on the BMC teammachine ?

[@dalmain240]

Just thought of you man. Hope you're well during this crazy time, and racking up miles on your bike.

[@bikotic]

Hi Dominic, all good thanks - hoping to get some videos out soon - been busy riding my bike :)

[@calebparkes6118]

Great video! The only things are I’m looking at the Addict 10 vs a Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 vs a Cannondale SuperSix Evo and I feel like I’m compromising with the Addict. But it’s the only one I can find that’s in stock in my size.

[@kompromesso]

V good video. Much appreciated you're now back. I have the opportunity to grab a RC Pro 2021 frame at a decent price, considering the overall scarcity of bikes this year. I'm interested in your advice about how to complete the setup while balancing weight and budget - don't want to put more than £2.5k on top of the frame cost. Tx

[@bikotic]

does it include bars?? not sure if you would get it for the budget, but mechanical Dura Ace (Ultegra if too much), Winspace Hyper wheels, Prologo Scratch saddle...maybe! Will be interested to see what you come up with

[@kompromesso]

@@bikotic included frame, fork, seatpost, derailleur hanger, spacers. I already have a Farsports integrated handlebars from my Cannondale S6. So basically groupset and wheels are left. I was thinking about an Ultegra Di2... :) and perhaps a couple of assembled wheels :P

[@kompromesso]

Final setup: RC pro 21 frame + original carbon seatpost, Syncros creston ic sl, Ultegra di2 50/34 11-32, dura ace rotors, San Marco aspide saddle, carbon wheels carbon ti hubs 38 rim 21 inner width hookless (assembled in italy, Rims made in Italy), schwalbe pro 1 tle 28", supacaz fly ano bottlecages, bike ribbon drops bar tape

Can you do one for Ventum NS1

[@timboha8191]

I think everyone in the pro peloton would like a bright yellow bike.

[@bikotic]

true!

[@thelegitwardrobe]

Great content creator

[@thomastrails2432]

Hello, I think there is one mistake. The Carbon HMX is only on the Top bikes used for frame and fork. most of the other bikes used HMX for the fork and the HMF for the frame. I love your Videos. 👍

[@bikotic]

Hi Thomas - just double checked that, the Addict RC seems to be HMX frame & fork across the range - the Addict is HMF across the range - what I have got wrong is that Foil below the PRO is HMF carbon on the frame, can't believe I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. Never ceases to amaze me all the combinations and how difficult it is to stay on top of it all!!

[@magnush7398]

I just bought a Scott Addict 10 2020 for only 2099€...so cheap and thats just because it is an 2020 Model...the bike Community and industry is so stupid 😅

[@wayslow]

I got one lightly used for not much more. Love it, but there are a couple of stupid issues, like lack of grease on steerer bearings or that horrible 2 piece handlebar cable routing. I ordered a knock off handlebars from Ali, just for shits and giggles 😁

I’m the guy you exactly described I’m new to cycling people tell me addict is the best bang for y buck but way too many addicts. WTF.

[@willowwatts]

Hello there buddy..I heard you mentioning about the winspace wheels..Can you please do a review if you have one.??.I have a Scott speedster 20 2018 alloy bike with tiagra groupset..I'm planning to upgrade the wheels.Is it a better investment in buying lightweight carbon wheels for rim brake bikes..??.What are your thoughts on this ...thanks..Love your content 👌🏻

[@bikotic]

Hi, thanks! - that bike has pretty heavy alloy wheels on it, so will benefit from lighter, more aero wheels for sure. It comes down to personal preference, do you want to up grade that bike or put the money towards a higher specced bike.....are you sticking with rim brakes - if so new wheels are a good investment as they will fit on your next bike - the catch with carbon wheels on a rim brake bike is the brake track gets worn over time, but we are talking years with normal use, plus carbon rims and rim brakes in the wet aren't great - definitely use the correct brake pads...be sure to get some top end tyres, they make a massive difference! Good luck.

[@willowwatts]

@@bikotic thanks for getting back to me.I intend to keep my alloy bike as a winter bike. And when I get a carbon bike I will transfer the wheels to the new one..Im Also planning to keep the carbon rims just for summer riding so I hope it will last me at least a few years.

[@EntertainAK47]

But bike review ever!!!!

The 8kg weight for the RC is miles off

[@siitan83]

not very lightweight anywhere.. sram red 11000 bike, supposedly lightweight bike is 6.9?? with pedals and other gadgets its mid 7-s ... scotts look nice though that is true

[@siitan83]

FOIL 7,4 kg?? really? in 2021? the venge was lighter then that, and they discontinued to make that bike - too heavy!

[@siitan83]

for looks I give the scott 9 or 10... they arent light and id have to see some tests on aerodynamics (doubts on that also)- the seatstays arent very deep (compared to canyon aeroad for example), same thing with downtube

[@richardcarr6493]

l don t succumb to the more you spend the so much better you get theory of bike buying so a basic ADDICT with disc brakes would do just fine since l already have rim brake bikes :) DON T GET ME WRONG l d love to try any 6kg road bike for a year but l d never put out to the $$$ for one even if l won the lottery !!

[@diegopastor8988]

Syncros RP2.0 are above 1,710g. Awful wheels. RC20 over RC15, as for Sram Force Etap 12 speed 10-33 rear > Ultegra Di2

[@quickreviewchannel6931]

What a bunch of addicts hahaha

[@davidhuck1683]

Very well done. However, these BRANDS do not seem give as much value for price as Canyon, Rose or even Giant. So if u are not fuzzy about Brands (Scott is okay) ....but for sure you may find a perfect or decend speced Biked elsewhere....

[@bikotic]

you are right - this video took so long I forgot to include competition from other brands, other than Ribble at the end - my bad

[@DanTuber]

most of scott bikes are too heavy.

[@bikotic]

sign of the times!

[@wdadwawdadawdwdwa4133]
