gravel bike scott addict Scott Addict Gravel 10 Bike

The Scott Addict Gravel 10 Bike is Scott's top-tier gravel race bike — a machine built around HMF carbon construction and a complete SRAM Force AXS XPLR wireless drivetrain, designed for riders who approach gravel with the same intent they'd bring to a road race. Scott's Addict line has long been associated with lightweight, race-oriented carbon, and the Addict Gravel carries that emphasis into mixed-surface territory: fast, precise, and built for the front of the group regardless of what's underwheel. Five sizes from XS through XL cover the range, and the Gelato Blue/Gelato Pink finish gives the bike a distinct look in a category that tends toward muted palettes.

The frame is built from HMF carbon — Scott's High Modulus Full designation, which applies high-modulus fiber across the entire structure rather than only in select areas. The result is a frame that's stiff and consistent in its response throughout, rather than stiff at the bottom bracket and soft elsewhere. The fork uses the same HMF carbon with Scott's eccentric carbon steerer — an unusual feature that allows the fork to be repositioned to fine-tune stack height without changing the stem, giving riders additional fit flexibility without altering the clean headtube integration. A replaceable UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) keeps the frame compatible with SRAM's full drivetrain ecosystem and simplifies field replacement — relevant for a bike intended to be raced on courses where mechanicals happen at inconvenient moments.

SRAM Force AXS XPLR handles the drivetrain, and it's well matched to what this bike is built for. XPLR is SRAM's gravel-specific designation within the Force AXS family — 13-speed wireless shifting, with a 42t single chainring and a 10-46 cassette that delivers a fast top gear for road sections and a manageable climbing gear for sustained dirt climbs in the same package. No cables to route, stretch, or replace; the Force-level components are lighter and more refined than Rival without the cost of Red, which lands the Addict Gravel 10 at the right price for a serious gravel racer. SRAM Force E1 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm SRAM Paceline rotors provide consistent modulation across wet gravel, packed dirt, and loose corners with the progressive feel hydraulics offer.

The Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon wheels are a genuine asset at this price. Rapid Red is Fulcrum's gravel-oriented carbon wheelset — designed with compliance characteristics that reduce fatigue on rough terrain without sacrificing rolling efficiency on harder surfaces. Paired with Schwalbe G-One RX tires at 700x45, the bike arrives ready for most gravel event formats without a pre-race wheel swap. The G-One RX is one of the more efficient gravel tires available, with a tread pattern suited to packed dirt, light gravel, and road sections in the same ride. The 45mm width, at the upper end of what the frame supports, provides grip and compliance on rough terrain where narrower rubber would struggle.

The cockpit is fully Syncros — Scott's in-house component brand. The Creston 1.0 X carbon handlebar pairs with the RR2.0 stem and a SP-R101-CF carbon seatpost, keeping the build cohesive and the weight in check. The Syncros Tofino Regular 2.0 Cutout saddle completes the package. Geometry across all five sizes maintains 425mm chainstays and 71mm BB drop throughout, which keeps handling characteristics consistent and the center of gravity low — useful at speed on loose surfaces. At $5,899.99, the Addict Gravel 10 is built for riders who want a lightweight gravel road bike that's ready to race as delivered.
