Ever since Marcel Wildhaber had been spotted riding a Scott Sports frame with discs and a wholly inventive paint job, there have been many cyclocross fans anxiously awaiting further details on when Scott Sports would be releasing their new cyclocross bikes for the general public.
The night before 2015 Sea Otter began, Scott Sports unveiled their latest model, the Addict CX, along with some good and bad news.
Before we dive into the extensive details of the 2016 Addict CX, we'll hit you with possibly the most disappointing update: The gray camo paint job will not be available to customers. The scheme had been fully intended as a prototype-only finish, and was inspired by the same design that Cadillac uses to discourage paparazzi from taking clean photos of their beta model performance cars.
Instead, a mixture of a gloss and matte black combination accented with yellow hi-viz will make up the final colorization of their Addict CX 10 Disc, which is set to be availble in August for $5899, alongside the aluminum counterpart, the Speedster CX 10 Disc, which will retail for $1699. The model that seeks an in-between pricing, the Addict CX 20, will only be availble in Europe.
Use the slider below for the in-depth details of the Scott Sports Addict CX 10 Disc and a full spec guide, below.

Chainstays have been shaped specifically to shed mud, with the top of the chainstays sharpening into an edge to scrape away mud.

The frame wasn’t just designed for the optimization of internal cable routing. In order to keep the frame weight to a minimum, Scott Sport brought some new innovations to the table, including hollow carbon dropouts. The weight of the full build is also reduced by a few interesting choices, including carbon fiber handlebars.
