Scott Addict 10 Gravel Bike

Engineered for the long haul
The Addict Gravel is made for adventures that don’t stop at the horizon. Built with comfort at its core, it keeps you strong and steady as the miles stretch on and the terrain changes beneath you. The bike’s thoughtful geometry, tire setup, and ergonomics work together to smooth out rough paths and fight fatigue, so you can stay focused on what lies ahead.To achieve this unique comfort, the Addict Gravel borrows a critical design element from the Addict road bike. The reduced seat-tube section allows for additional displacement. In addition, the dropped seat stays are designed to flex outward, and the top tube enables a slight upward deflection. All of this improves frame compliance. Front compliance, which is especially relevant for gravel riding, was also addressed. The bowed fork legs, the smaller steerer tube and the new combo design all work together to deliver more comfort. All these improvements generate a welcome 30% increase in front compliance. This improves vibration damping at the front, where it matters most.

Refined geometry
We made targeted and impactful tweaks to the new Addict Gravel’s geometry to elevate comfort and handling. The stack is 10mm higher than the previous generation and the reach is 10mm longer, but the cockpit is 10mm shorter to compensate. We also lowered the bottom bracket to account for larger tires and increased the fork rake to preserve playful and reactive handling The result is a longer front centre, placing the front wheel further ahead. This improves confidence, especially at speed or on more technical terrain. The riding position of the Addict Gravel mirrors that of the Addict road bike. If you are already familiar with the Addict, the transition will be seamless. You will immediately find the same comfortable and balanced position. This is intentional, as both bikes belong to the ‘Ride’ category.

Carbon expertise
The Addict Gravel is available in two proven carbon layups. The HMF version strikes the perfect balance between lightweight construction, stiffness, and comfort, while the HMX version takes performance to the next level. While stiffness remains important, the objective here is slightly different compared to a pure road bike. We intentionally reduced overall stiffness to improve traction and compliance. But don’t be alarmed – we’re talking about very subtle differences here, less than 5%. This allows the bike to better adapt to uneven terrain, providing more grip and predictability. You still get a precise and efficient ride, but with a more forgiving and confidence-inspiring character.

Be ready when the ride turns rough
The Addict Gravel is built to handle the unpredictable with rattle-free frame storage that keeps your essential repair kit (tubes, levers, pump) locked in and ready when things go sideways. Need more? Hidden at the bar ends, you’ll find an Allen key and a tubeless repair kit, always within reach. No matter how remote or unforgiving the terrain gets, you’ve got the tools to fix a mechanical and keep on riding. Turning back should never cross your mind Save the Day kit: Never get caught unprepared. The Syncros Save the Day kit is neatly integrated into the downtube, housing an inner tube, tire levers, and a mini -pump, so you’re always ready for the unexpected.

Dedicated frame bag 
Bring all your essentials along for the ride. A dedicated toptube bag, designed to endure even the rockiest gravel roads, keeps your valuables secure. And if minimalism is more your thing? No problem. The bag is removable. We also made a concerted effort to integrate screws cleanly, keeping everything flush with the frame. Whether you ride without bags for a clean, minimalist look, or fully equipped for exploration, the bike’s aesthetics remain on point.

New Gravel cockpit
When it comes to touchpoints, we’ve designed an entirely new gravel-specific cockpit. It comes with an increased forward sweep to improve wrist clearance when leaning hard into corners. Simultaneously, the reach of the cockpit has been reduced to make it easier to switch position between the top and the hoods. The new cockpit also features a neutral shifter position. This is achieved through a short vertical section where the shifters are mounted, before the flare begins. As a result, the brake levers remain aligned with the drops instead of pointing outward like on most gravel bars. We also optimised the drop shape to provide more palm support and improved access to the brake levers. All these changes combine to deliver a more intuitive and controlled riding experience.

Fork mount
The new Addict Gravel fork allows you to mount water bottles on the fork blades. We wanted to give riders more flexibility in how they configure their bike. For example, you can add extra water storage for riding in hot and dry conditions or you can move the bottles to the fork blades – freeing up more space in the frame for a larger bag. Instead of placing the mounts on the outside, we integrated them on the inner surfaces of the fork. This helps preserve a clean aesthetic.

User-friendly adjustments
As we did for the Addict RC and the Addict, we’ve engineered the new Addict Gravel to be effortlessly adjustable, setting a new standard in ease of setup. By streamlining bolt specifications and integrating a universal tool, we’ve revolutionised the adjustment process. Located discreetly within the cockpit or handlebar drop, the T2  key empowers riders to fine-tune stem, handlebar, seatpost, saddle clamps, and even bottle cages with unparalleled simplicity. In addition, we’ve included a tubeless repair kit on the opposite side – reflecting how most riders set up their bikes today. So once again, the idea is simple: everything you need is already on the bike. This innovative solution not only enhances user experience but also simplifies setup procedures for mechanics.
