Scott today pulled the curtains back on a wholly redesigned Addict CX carbon cyclocross racer. Despite the addition of thru-axles and disc brakes front and rear, claimed frame weight has dropped to an astonishing 890g for a medium size. Scott says the new Addict CX is also stiffer down below and more comfortable up top. Now let's just hope it gets here in time for 'cross season.
