SCOTT Addict Gravel 40

The SCOTT Addict Gravel 40 is engineered for riders who crave freedom and versatility without sacrificing performance or comfort. Designed around the philosophy of "find yourself, get lost," this gravel bike delivers the confidence and capability to explore new terrain while remaining light, responsive, and deeply connected to the road ahead.

At its core, the Addict Gravel introduces a threadlike chainstay measuring just 8.5mm at its slimmest section—an innovative design that enables exceptional tire clearance up to 57mm without compromising aesthetics or handling. The bike arrives equipped with 50mm tires that strike the perfect balance between control, stability, and all-day comfort, though it's even compatible with 2.2-inch MTB tires for those seeking maximum capability.

SCOTT prioritized comfort as a fundamental design principle. The HMF carbon frame borrows critical design elements from the legendary Addict road bike, featuring a reduced seat-tube section that allows additional frame displacement. Combined with dropped seat stays and a compliant top tube, this geometry delivers a remarkable 60% improvement in rear compliance and 30% improvement in front compliance—keeping you strong and focused even as the miles stretch on. The refined geometry adds 10mm to stack height and reach while shortening the cockpit, resulting in a longer front center that improves confidence on technical terrain without sacrificing the nimble chainstay length that defines the Addict platform.

The new gravel-specific cockpit features increased forward sweep for better wrist clearance, optimized drop shape for palm support, and a neutral shifter position that keeps brake levers aligned and intuitive. Fork-mounted water bottle compatibility provides flexibility in load management, with integrated mounts positioned to reduce steering inertia by 35% for quicker, more linear handling.

Built for self-sufficiency, the Addict Gravel integrates the Syncros Save the Day kit in the downtube—housing tubes, levers, and a mini-pump. At just 990g, the HMF frame represents SCOTT's commitment to lightweight construction that defines the gravel market.
