Scott Addict 40 2025

The geometry on this bike makes a huge difference on century rides—my lower back felt way less fatigued after six hours in the saddle compared to my old race bike. The frame absorbs road buzz just enough without feeling sluggish on climbs.

Took it out for a 60-mile ride this weekend and the less aggressive geometry really saved my lower back. The frame feels stiff enough for sprinting but smooths out chatter on rough pavement better than I expected.

The endurance-focused geometry is exactly what I needed for my century rides—it keeps me comfortable well past hour four without feeling twitchy on descents. Only gripe is the stock saddle took a few weeks to break in, but that's a quick swap anyway.
