BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the SCOTT Addict Gravel. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
14 reasons to buy
- SCOTT’s Addict Gravel comes in six carbon-framed builds ranging from the top-end RC race bike to the entry-level Addict Gravel 50.
- Reviewers say the combination of a long wheelbase and short stem creates the right balance of stability and agility.
- Most experts find the bike confidence-inspiring and capable in rough terrain, holding its line well in corners and over “washboard-lined roads” and rocky trails.
- One reviewer says SCOTT has found the perfect balance of performance road bike and capable gravel bike.
- The Addict Gravel’s long, low riding position, compact road-like cockpit, and aero tubing encourage and help maintain speed, say testers.
- Experts say the bike responds well to pedal input, accelerating like a road bike.
- The “blisteringly fast” Addict Gravel thrives on straight, open gravel trails, according to reviewers.
- Experts agree the Addict Gravel's performance on paved roads is excellent for a gravel bike.
- Several testers praise the bike’s comfortable ride quality.
- The frame has hidden mounts for Syncros fenders, accessory bosses under the down tube and on the top tube, and two sets of bottle cage mounts in the main triangle.
- This bike has clearance for 40mm tires with fenders and 45mm without.
- The Addict Gravel is relatively lightweight in its six builds.
- Reviewers feel the modest 16-degree handlebar flare is just right and fits the bike’s personality.
- Experts find Schwalbe’s G-One Bite 45mm tires (all builds except RC) supple and sufficiently grippy on loose or wet gravel, though not in muddy conditions.
7 reasons not to buy
- One expert feels the long geometry is ill-suited to tight, twisty trails; another finds the long, slack front end wanders on steep technical climbs.
- Some testers find the Addict Gravel quickly reaches its handling and comfort limits on rough trails.
- The Addict Gravel has a press-fit bottom bracket. Press-fit BBs are prone to creaking, and servicing requires special tools.
- The aero seatpost design means this bike isn't compatible with dropper posts.
- The cockpit-integrated cabling complicates maintenance and fit adjustments.
- The 1x gearing (Addict Gravel 30 and 40) is a poor match for the bike’s racing characteristics, according to an expert.
- Multiple SCOTT owners say the company fails to fulfill its warranty.
Bottom line
SCOTT’s Addict Gravel is a lightweight, race-ready gravel bike available in six builds. Experts say the geometry balances stability and agility. The comfortable ride, blistering speed, excellent performance on pavement, and versatile Schwalbe tires impress. Experts disagree on the bike’s limitations in rougher terrain. Many find it perfectly capable in technical sections and rocky trails, others feel it lacks comfort and “surefootedness” in this context. Complaints about SCOTT's customer support and warranty are worrying. Overall, experts consider the Addict Gravel well-rounded and good value for money. However, it’s better suited to performance-focused riders than long-distance adventurers or bikepackers.Expert Reviews
