I paid just over $18k for my daughters brand new Honda Civic. That much for a bike is utterly insane! Trust me, bike and component manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank.
It’s £9000 or $11000 American dollars which is definitely reasonable for a top end race bike comparing that a dogma f12 can cost upwards of £12000. Before people say there is no such thing as an 18000 dollar bike there clearly is just research the exchange rates.
yeah. i started cycling with 139/140k. i'm not at 130k. once i see the 99.9KG i'll order canyon aerod SL etap for 7k$ US or whatever it costs. already sold on it. i think it might be good, but no clue. so a review would be nice. i also wonder - how many watts does such an aerod save compared to my cheap sensa entry level bike
Tim van Monero ive had the slx 8.0 rim with the di2 ultegra, some things feel kinda cheap (the way the di2s plus is placed etc.) other than that i really enjoyed the bike!
Can you review the Canyon Ultimate CF SL 8.0? It is a carbon bike with full Ultegra amd weights 7.0kg. There aren't any alternatives, if you're looking in the same price category. I would like to know if it is as good as it sounds.
Sworks Tarmac SL6 vs Specialized Tarmac SL6 Pro/Expert.. just wondering, can an amateur cyclist feels the difference in stiffness between 12r and 10r FACT carbon.. i have SL6 Pro while my friend has the Sworks version, and tbh, i can't feel the difference.. opinion of yours will be much appreciated
Really good looking bike! Probably my favourite looking disc bike along with the Trek madone. But being a climber if I had the money I'd go the Scott. 18k is some big dollars though! Being a mid-range "best bang for the buck" guy these kind of top end bikes aren't on my radar. In the mid range you get quite a weight penalty going disc, so rim all the way for me. But man some of these top end bikes look good! But for 18k I could buy 4 x4.5grand bikes for the rest of the family!
I have a Trek Emonda SLR9 I built up from slightly used components that cost me under $6k AUD, I can’t see where that extra $11k would make a huge difference. This Scott Addict is a great looking bike though.
Only a completely custom bike with top notch lightweight components would be worth anything near that amount imo. You could get a decent shed of bikes for that
What I hate about a lot of Scott addict bikes is , the horizontal top tube is painted Matt black , and for some reason they haven't sprayed enough paint , so you can see the carbon fibre through the paint and paint is super thin ! Riding your bike looking down seeing this crappy paintwork ! My bike cost £1600 Scott addict 20 and I have seen it on a top of the range bike in store Scott addict RC ultimate at £10500 !
Frame made in China, cost $500 NZ, Group set SRAM Etap AXS Best in the World costs $3000 NZ, Wheel set made in Taiwan $1500 NZ, Handlebar and accessories $1,000 NZ! Total dealer cost $6,000 NZ, Consumer Sucker Price $18,000 NZ! 3 Months after new ownership, resell value $9,000 NZ! Warranty 5 years on Frame, with special limitations!
hi tom, i wish you could see my road bike. mine is maybe twenty five years old. its not carbon anything. mine has all the stuff that scott bike has except the fat front end and cockpit. i can adjust my cockpit to work with me. thanks for showing that scott anyway.
Oh No!....NO! Don't go in the wet grass.....you went in the wet grass.. Still love the content! New Specialized Venge/Tarmac(Pro), Giant Propel/TCR, review?
Just came to write... NO, no bicycle is worth that much - sorry folks. Even range topping motorcycles are classed as expensive at 18k 😆 and this has no engine or even a fraction of the materials.
NO, no bike is worth $18,000 unless it can go 150+mph ... I can get a Ducati Panigale 959 Corse on Craigslist right now for $15k and have an extra 3k to kit .... And I say that as a former professional cyclist who still works in cycling. Man, i remember when bikes were $6,000 and that was super expensive ...
I would have to say that if you have never liked SRAM, I Beleive it all comes down to who set it up. If it was the shop mechanic or yourself, I would rather say that you or mechanic do not know how to set it up properly. When it's properly setup it is miles ahead of Shitmano. Mechanical vs mechanical.
Short: No lol, no bikes "worth" that much
Scott: Want to see a trick?
Consumer: Yes
Scott: No Cables
Consumer: Nice
Scott: Want to see another trick?
Consumer: Ok
Scott: $18,000
All the Addict RC 2020 line-up is with fully cables integration, also the cheapest one that in Europe costs 3500 euro (street price near to 3000 euro)

Plus you don’t have to pedal the Honda 🤣
Bike now on sale at 7000 euro !
Honda still $18 k new 😂

Nice. Could you review the new scott foil too. Thanks
Excellent editing and cinematic shots. Love these vids!
Can you briefly compare Scott Addict Rc, Trek Émonda and Sworks Tarmac? Pros and cons. It will be very helpful! 👍
IF YOU COVERED MY 18K BIKE IN GRASS ID NOT BE FRIENDS WITH YOU LOL
18,000 New Zealand dollars is about 11,700 American dollars. It is still expensive but in the same market as other high end bikes.
How about a canyon aero road
yeah. i started cycling with 139/140k. i'm not at 130k. once i see the 99.9KG i'll order canyon aerod SL etap for 7k$ US or whatever it costs. already sold on it. i think it might be good, but no clue. so a review would be nice.

1:31 Did he really touch the disk brake with his fingers!!!!
Well, he said he had never had ridden disk brakes - and proved it right there.
Cant you touch the disc brake?
@@desmohnizam dont lick it while its hot!
@@desmohnizam nope, because you have oil on your skin naturally
Joe about the pinarello dogma f12 or bianchi oltre xr4?
If it doesn't come with a masseuse 24/7 then obviously not.
Sworks Tarmac SL6 vs Specialized Tarmac SL6 Pro/Expert.. just wondering, can an amateur cyclist feels the difference in stiffness between 12r and 10r FACT carbon.. i have SL6 Pro while my friend has the Sworks version, and tbh, i can't feel the difference.. opinion of yours will be much appreciated
I had 9r on tarmac and i have 11r on venge now. Diffrent dimension, way stiffer. Would highly recommend, comes with the price tho.
Specialized S-works venge disc - SRAM eTAP 2020
Yes Yes comparison please!
YES..best looking bike ever
Really good looking bike! Probably my favourite looking disc bike along with the Trek madone. But being a climber if I had the money I'd go the Scott. 18k is some big dollars though!

Comfortable ride?
Is any push bike really worth 18k? Honestly? When you think about it.
Giant TCR would be good - great honesty - love it
Review the specialized venge or the specialized allez sprint comp disc
Will look into it, cheers
Can you review the new Giant TCR Advanced SL?
I have a Trek Emonda SLR9 I built up from slightly used components that cost me under $6k AUD, I can’t see where that extra $11k would make a huge difference. This Scott Addict is a great looking bike though.
2021 TCR Advanced SL Disc
Those are shimano dura ace rotors, right?
Yep, got my OCD too
You should review the BMC Teammachine SLR01?
Think I have that lined up soon
CyclingTom nice
Good honest review. I would love it if you could review a 2020 Cervelo R5.
Only a completely custom bike with top notch lightweight components would be worth anything near that amount imo.
You could get a decent shed of bikes for that
Yea I had a Scott and the hoods that Scott makes are HUGE
Nice shots bro, keep'em coming...
Quality like this scott bike! 😃
Is this a 54M size frame? If so, what saddle height were you running on it? Cheers
How about the Merida Scultura 4000 disc
I must be too rich to give that money to this. There are very perfect alternatives under 5k :D
Any review for the new Trek emonda sl 2021 disc?
How about a Specialized allez sprint or lapierre aircode , the paint of allez sprint is great and both of price are more affordable
Cheers I will look into them
@@CyclingTom thanks alot !

Cheers Bradley, many more to come
What´s your saddle height? You experiment the size M 54cm, right?
the bike is running Shimano ice tec rotors how did you get it to work?
If I won it, I would be, "Hell ya. This is worth $18,000". If I had to buy it I would say, "Hell no that ain't worth $18,000"
Great editing. That's a sik rig &I'd love one. Great idea with the bike reviews 🤑🤑🤑
In the future can you put the price in GBP and USD for reference. Great vid
Yes can do
Drones are amazing, great visuals
Your vid's are getting better every time! Nice. Next investment.... mic for better audio! Great work!
Thanks Grant
can you pls review the new scott foil 2021. thanks
Have you ever had a bike fit? I’m Considering it.
Yes I had one about 2 years ago
how about a rondo bike, for instance AL 1
Frame made in China, cost $500 NZ, Group set SRAM Etap AXS Best in the World costs $3000 NZ, Wheel set made in Taiwan $1500 NZ, Handlebar and accessories $1,000 NZ!

Do Specialized tarmac pro or venge pro 2020
hi tom, i wish you could see my road bike. mine is maybe twenty five years old. its not carbon anything. mine has all the stuff that scott bike has except the fat front end and cockpit. i can adjust my cockpit to work with me. thanks for showing that scott anyway.
please review the polygon strattos s7 or strattos s5, cheers
Oh No!....NO! Don't go in the wet grass.....you went in the wet grass.. Still love the content! New Specialized Venge/Tarmac(Pro), Giant Propel/TCR, review?
Wow!Thank you so much for this fantastic video!Huge!!!
Cheers
Nice Scott, how about SL7 vs Scott ?
Awesome unbiased review
o no when u see ultegra pedals on a bike like that
Have to take back up pedals with me incase the bike isn't Shimano
So all you buy is no cables ?
Firefly all road, no22 all road, or any other titanium all road bike
The bike is in size M? What is your height and inseam? :P
w
I love Scott.....beautifull bike.
What about a TT bike ? It could be super cool and different than the other reviews
Think I have a TT lined up
other things aside the weight limit means it's not for me ;)
From a labor cost/parts point of view it's not worth . Does Scott have massive overhead to justify the cost?
How about the Canyon Aeroad
Quality vlog Tom 👍
Nice and professionnal vid 🤟🏼
Thank you
mans rlly just carries the bike around by the bars and saddle to flex how light it is lmaooo
Just came to write... NO, no bicycle is worth that much - sorry folks. Even range topping motorcycles are classed as expensive at 18k 😆 and this has no engine or even a fraction of the materials.
Can you review a pinarello prince
Frame looks gloss not matt. And very surprised you've never ridden disc before.
Colnago C64 all Campagnola components of course
What’s the American price
So I my head I said “hahah that looks like my local stadium”then I was like that IS my local stadium😂
A cannondale trigger option
subscribed. need to see Canyon Aerod review :D
Im sorry for you that it's becoming winter, here in europe summer is coming
I was meant to be in the USA summer too :(
That doesn't look like a matt paint job to me. It would have been good to actually weigh it rather than just say what you think it weighs.
trek speed concept
Quick reminder for everyone: exchange rates exist, $18k NZ is not necessarily worth the same elsewhere.
Nice vid tom
Cheers Craig
Review the systemsix
How about a Honda Civic
I feel like I already know the answer
NO, no bike is worth $18,000 unless it can go 150+mph ... I can get a Ducati Panigale 959 Corse on Craigslist right now for $15k and have an extra 3k to kit ....
And I say that as a former professional cyclist who still works in cycling. Man, i remember when bikes were $6,000 and that was super expensive ...
Climbing bike at 6.8kg? Hardly impressive
11,323 USD is 18,000 NZD today.
Cheers man
CyclingTom I’d like to hear review of Ridley Noah Fast Disc. 🐸
18k for a bike? Hell no!
Canyon aero road please tom
And this bike is on sale now for 7000 euro
Factor ONE review plz
Will look into it
18 thousand... I will take 2 haha
I like your style haha
I would get 2 Ninja Bikes 1000cc for the price!
the volume is all over the place .. :(
Love that bike
Was super nice to ride
I would have to say that if you have never liked SRAM, I Beleive it all comes down to who set it up. If it was the shop mechanic or yourself, I would rather say that you or mechanic do not know how to set it up properly. When it's properly setup it is miles ahead of Shitmano. Mechanical vs mechanical.
This is a great Bike!!!!
Also you have to do a freehub sound check🤙
Haha could be a new segment
Nice bike but it is not matte black as described in the video
A bike costs that much, no way they are WORTH it
Do an FTP test for a video
