Contessa Addict RC 15 Bike Geometry / Size Chart

The Scott Contessa Addict RC 15 is a lightweight carbon climbing bike with a touch of extra aerodynamic speed at a reasonable price. The Contessa line is engineered to specifically fit the body of a woman for a more comfortable and customized ride. With a focus on lightweight climbing ability, this bike is great on descents, flat sprints, and tight turns. This version of the Addict is faster than ever due to updated aerodynamics and improved stiffness without adding any weight. It is also properly integrated, reducing any potential drag from cables in the wind. With a Tour de France lineage, the Scott Contessa Addict RC is a true superbike with enough versatility to take on any challenge.

The new Addict takes cues from Scott’s more aero bikes to hit higher speeds on the road. It has dropped seatstays, taller chainstays, and a slightly deeper aero tubing profile. The frame as a whole is also 14.5 percent stiffer than the previous generation through the backbone of the downtube, bottom bracket, and chainstay. With all of the cables tucked away, they stay out of the wind, making every watt count. This version of the Addict is equipped with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic groupset for reliable shifting at an excellent price. Disc brakes are also featured for reliable modulated braking in all weather conditions so you can ride to your fullest potential.

Like many of their Tour level bikes, Scott’s HMX carbon is used to construct the Contessa Addict RC 15 frame. A completely hollow seat and chainstay construction and hollow dropouts minimize weight. The carbon layout is carefully placed to improve stiffness without adding weight. This frame pushes the limits of minimal weight while still remaining within the UCI limits. Revised fork blades are also incredibly aerodynamic while remaining as light as possible. The dropped seatstay design adds stiffness and keeps the rider comfortable. With this lightweight build and optimized profiles, the Addict is unstoppable in all areas.
