I get this question a lot while at the store and they always ask which one I would take, so I figured I would make a video showing off the bikes in both there strongs and weaknesses compared to one another, please lemme know what you thought of the video and if you ever have any questions please feel free to ask me what ever you like down in the comment section and I will do my best ot respond the same day :)) thanks
Please let me know if you enjoyed this video and if you did please give a BIG THUMBS UP and if you like content like this feel free to SUBSCRIBE for similar content in the future
Thank you all for watching and I will see you all in the next video :))
I'd save the dough and get the Scott. The stem doesn't bother me at all. Another reason I'd go for the Scott is just to be different. Out here in SoCal, everybody has a Specialized or Trek. I like the color too. Great comparison. You're doing a great job with these video's keep them coming.
thanks so much!!! that means a lot to hear that :) and yea I heard over there specialized is eveyrwhere!!! I mean it makes since they are located in morgan hill
scott is an amazing bike. I have gone almost 1000 miles on my 2021 Scott Addict SE and I set it up as a mild gravel bike with Enve 45 Foundation / Panaracer gravel king SK and it's amazing and super robust and comfortable for long rides. 3 month old bike and ridden it hard off road and smooth tarmac, totally recommends Scott for sure. It's a sleeper.
yea I agree, honeslty I was not to fond of scott bikes like 2 years ago, and now they are really making hufe waves and setting the standard for the industry they are starting to grow on me more and more esepcially for these price points, but I love this bike alot.
I bought my 2020 Addict SE in June from my LBS - 4000 miles later it is the best purchase of the 4 bikes I own. My LBS mainly sells Specialized but is also a Scott dealer although they have very few Scott bikes on the floor. They ordered bike for me no commitment, no down payment - got to test ride for an hour - and of course rode it home that night! Don't see a lot of Scotts on the road but they are a sweet ride.
thats awesome!!! that sounds like a nice shop to order that bike in for sure...... and yea scott is really making a huge scene in the road bike game now for a while they use to be our main mtb line but now they are competing for the road bike set.
Love the Scott. Perfect color. Good specs. Good weight. Good price. Have had a CR1 and now an Addict gravel. Also a Canyon CF SLX, also a great bike. But would like to change it for the Scott RC. We al need something to wish for.
lmao this is true, at least it gives you something to work for and maybe get one down the road, but yea the bike is amazing deal for the money
AaàààààààawaÀà88
For it's time and price the CR-1 was amazing. If the Addict has its genes it's a no-brainer.
I own a Scott addict team issue and it’s an amazing bike. For the price difference, the addict is hands down the better value. The difference in weight is splitting hairs. Even adding carbon bars still, it’s still over 1k cheaper for a better quality carbon frame
yea for sure, they do an amazing job for that bike and that model
*better quality carbon frame based on what?
@@Shadowboost edit -remove “better” Quality carbon frame
That paint job on the Scott is amazing.
it really is
Got the Scott and I'm going to upgrade the wheels to the roval rapides, best of both bikes.
dammmmm that sounds like a nice combo for sure, I would love to see a picture of that
send photo pls
@@Dralbastaki can't send a pic in youtube comments
i dont know scott changed anything on addict
but the way they do/design on addict back at 2019 is pretty head forward compare to other company
always love scott
the previous addict is a simple design bike frame which bring "simple = easier to make prefect"
thanks for sharing
thanks so much for the information!!!! yea they are a great company when I first got them into the store we focused mainly on them as a mountain line now they are starting to put in some work on the road lines and making a huge wave in the industry, we sue to be an only specialized store now people know us for the scott road bikes too
Not gonna lie specialized fanboy too but I purchased the galaxy black Scott 15 and do not regret it at all. For the price and asthenic and components that come with it I had enough money let over for power meter new saddle and a bike fit with still a few hundred left over. Can’t beat that.
very nice I think we are all specialized fan boys at heart but there prices are making it harder and harder to continue with that
What saddle and power meter did you put on it ?
Scott addict rc! Pure form, ascetic look. Swiss minimalism. Specialized Tarmac is "everywhere".
lol this is true I have heard that the specilaized is becoming the biek that is seen all over the place and the scott is more unique which I like that now too
I really like that color scheme on the Scott, Great video
yea they killed it with that color for sure :0 and thanks as always
I'll take the scott. Wife disagrees so for now I'll keep spinning on the old caad 10 🤣🤣
lol I hear you on that one
Awesome review! I was hoping you might be open to a review on the Specialized Roubaix Pro and Diverge Carbon Pro complete with weights. Thank you!
I did a diverge pro before, check it out. It was just a little bit ago
Great review...both really sick bikes. 5600 -> 7200 is 1600 difference - Carbon bars and stem 400 upgrade on the Scott...now 1200 difference, better saddle, better wheels....and in reality you can pay a lot more than $1600 to save half a pound (especially if most of that half pound is in wheels). I'm totally with you on the Specialized!! If the Tarmac SL7 was available when I bought my SystemSix - I would have gone for the Specialized.
Thanks for the info!
@@GCPerformance18 lol - you've got leaps and bounds more knowledge than I have. I'm just blowing my own opinion out there. 🤣🤣 Great reviews on the features. Would be awesome if you rode the bikes and talked a little about your experience with them and whether they live up to the hype - and your personal take on the head to head (Specialized fanatic or not)
I own the Addict RC 15 and it's awesome
Very bice!!! im happy you enjoy the bike :))
I’m not really sure about all this issue for the changing of the stem of the scott... The stem is ‘open’ and can be exchanged without having to unlock the cables from the levers....
yes I saw this now too you can change it pretty easily, sorry about that
I'll a Trek Émonda sl7 with Shimano Di2 and that "fade" color 😁 You know what, I quite like that Scott with this color scheme, looks dope 👌 When I think about it, I could buy a Cinelli steel bike with disc for that price....wonder which one I would choose actually 😅
im still trying to get my hands on one of those emonda badddd I want to see one in person and i want to do a comparison video of the two bikes
@@GCPerformance18 yeah, I think the Émonda is a better buy if you are on the cheaper side, like the SL6 or SL7 is a really good bike in my opinion. And that T47 BB 😱 best move Trek made since making the first Émonda lol. And when you think about it, the Émonda is kinda like the Tarmac SL6 in terms of what is used for, like it's the "semi-aero" bike behind the Madone, and its the light climbing bike in the range too, so exactly like what the SL6 was made for...Maybe the Émonda should be compared to the SL6, instead of the SL7? What do you think?🤔
Great video guys, if you have the money buy the sl7 but if you do not have the money the scott is a great option.
I like that foil 10 2021 al carbon and for 6 jjj also very good option.
yea im a huge fan of the new foil I just wish there were more of them this year and I could get my hands on more of them
Call me old-fashioned but I base my choices on handling, ride, and how easily the cockpit can be fitted to my slightly odd proportions. I can adapt to everything else. If the Addict shares any of the genealogy of the CR-1 and Foil I rode a few years ago., it's a no-brainer.
that is a huge part for sure, if a bike fits yout her best then nothign else matters
Loving my RC 15 and so glad I got it . Looking forward to adding the carbon bars and adding the nova ride OSP . Thought about eventually adding the Reynolds AR58x but not sure about that other than the overall look . Current wheels are great
I'm looking at getting one can I ask what is the weight of yours
@@kye455 my 54 I believe is 17lbs 3oz so very close to hitting under 17lbs. Onyx black color . It’s worth it !!
I sold one and he did the Reynolds wheels with it. It looks sick, also those bars are gonna set it off just make sure the store that installs them does it right😁😁
I have a odd question about the size of the two bicycles.....I ride a 56 Specialized Tarmac.......Is the Scott Addict 54 and Specialized Tarmac 56 very close in size?
yes the scotts run bigger then other brands, my seatpost on the tarmac sticks out way more then on the scott addict
Beautiful bikes but i like more the Scott addict. How will look the scott with that roval tyres? 🤤
oooof that would be a sick looking combo, but also cotton tires I feel look good on a lot of bikes
Can you make a comparison video between the new Scott Foil 2021 and the Specialized SL7..
I would love to as soon as I can find one again I will for sure, they are just os ahrd to find
The wheels are much faster of the Specialized. But overall a similar bike.
agreed :)))
Since the wheel weights are similar, and the groupsets are the same, the Fact 10r carbon on the Tarmac must be lighter than the top end carbon on the Addict.
but also you have aluminum bars and a much beefier stem and headset spacers on there too to add the weight to the scott so keep that in mind
There’s HMX SL in the Addict lineup as well. The Ultimate and Supersonic framesets have that tier of carbon.
it was killing me the whole video, but its $1600 difference!!! lol
hahahha I realized it after I pulled out the calculator, you should have been there with me making the video lol, to correct me
1600 - diff for wheels, handler bar and saddle... not sure how you quantify the frame
Sworks is also not stiffer. Same stiffness as the 10r.
Why would I want to trust someone who cannot even do simple math?
Nice revieww road to 10k!!!!
Thanks so much my dude, im trying :))
I'd be torn between the two. It would just depend on how I felt that day 🤣😆 Based on how I feel at this current second, I would probably choose the Tarmac because I like the geometry and colour better.
very nice!!! the blue does look super hawttt
@@GCPerformance18 Yeah man! Do you have anyvrevies on the Madone ?
Scott looks better and nicer color.
Specialized has way nicer wheels
I love the scott paint job for sure I would love to see it in on the specilaized lol
Changing the stem on the specialized is theoretically easy but if you want to raise or lengthen the stem there isn’t enough hose, and cable, to do it. Longer stem = longer cables and hoses. And if it was easy to change the bar height why would you have the saddle nose so low.
I have changed a stock tarmac sl7 stem from 100 to 120 no issues at all with cables there is enough slack in the bars and bike to make the stretch, so its not that big of a deal I have also slammed the stem and added 10mm there is room to work with it
My 2021 TCR advance pro 1 54cm weighs 15.76lb with pedals, bottle cage and garmin mount. It is 11 speed Dura Ace Di2. These new bikes all look the same
I've been struggling between the Scott Addict RC 20 & the Specialized SL7 Pro 1X. Would love to see you compare those or the Addict RC 10 & the SL7. The carbon bar is a bummer for me on anything lower than the RC Pro.
Also, pretty sure the RC Ultimate uses HMX SL Carbon which is different than all other RC's
so the rep told me this year that is not the case and that all the addict rc are now made with hmx sl carbon, but I mean I dont have access to those bikes right now but the addict 10 is really nice compared to the pro 1x its $700 cheaper and comes with a 2x chainring and has a power meter but the only thing missing is the carbon bar but i mean for the money its not a bad deal.......
@@GCPerformance18 No, All Addict RC are HMX and only Ultimate and Supersonic are HMX-SL, same as last year. You can check on the official site www.scott-sports.com/global/en/products/bike-bikes-road-lightweight
@@laurikuris7721 ahh thanks so much I guess I must have mis heard my rep when he told me this... I will correct in the future, thanks again
It is a big difference in price, you got me thinking about the addict..where is the link for your store?
yea for sure, send me an email gcperformancyt@gmail.com and we can see what we can work out
Theoretically, louder free hub means more friction.
yes of course but people dont care they want loud noises lol
i've got scott addict rc 30 2020. i have creak noise on my bottom bracket😢 what's best option to get rid off that noise. thanks gc. thanks for vid comparison😊
take out bb and re grease, or look to get a solid metal bb in there like a wheels manufactorer
About SCOTT ADDICT RC 15, how is the frame perform and characteristic? is it forgiving, comfort? or more like sprinter?
very similar to the tarmac sl7, this is there top tier climbing bike that si meant o feel agile and quick
Specialized is way cooler, but that 1800 dollars is hard to argue against
agreed all the way, thats a large chunk of money for sure
Hi. I think Sl7 should be compared to new Scott Foil.
It could be great to see such a comparison.
Lol.
trust me I know but I cant find them anywhere the biek I had the customer already picked it up and I cant find another foil anywhere
The Foil is an aero bike, the Tarmac isn't (at least not up to a full-on aero extent).
I’m stock in between the two bikes too. Which bike corners, handles and attack better?
Im gonna have to go with the tarmac sl7 just as bone stock, I think it is a little more agile and can probably handle the corners better
@@GCPerformance18 wow. You are that confident on the SL7?! It’s a tour winning bike that’s for sure
I got to ride both for a short while, the Addict RC felt a bit sluggish. Also, you're stuck with Synchros cockpits on the Addict RC.
As for the Tarmac SL7, you're free to run whatever cockpit you fancy, as long as the stem is a 1 1/8-inch.
Bro it’s me again 😆 I found an SL7 in my city. Now the question is madone SL7 or the tarmac ??
How you gonna ask me this...... you know I’m a specilaized man all day
Hi, Im just very curious, you weighted sl7 7.6/7.7kg in the first video( size 56 ) and comparing it to the addict(this video) you weighted it 7.4(size56) whats the difference? Only things I see are that you have different tires here, no plastic cassette protector but also no that thing between the bar and the stem? where is the difference?
this guy changed his tires out for a lighter weight tires and also the paint on the bikes could have been a little bit off, they cant quality control all the paints ot be exact so sometimes they can change
@@GCPerformance18 would you maybe know which tires he has put on? And tnx a lot for the reply, was thinking the same.
Can I ask are your scales accurate as I've just watched your other video on the 2021 black scott addict which is a 54 frame and it weighs in at 7.81 kgs and the the one you weighed in this video was 7.65
I mean its only the one scale but I think that mopdel was heavier I have also done that bike before so maybe check that one for the weight of it
What about the Tarmac SL7 compared to the Scott Foil 10?
I was thinking that as responding to these comments I just dont know where I can find a scott foil anymore they are all gone
@@GCPerformance18 Ask ol’ boy that owned the Foil in your previous 2021 Foil 10 review. Lol
Lol that was a sold bike at a store I think it’s gone now 😞
Scott sizing seem to be a big "tall" no ? I'm 175cm and 82 inseams, they tell me I'm a M, but you answer to someone in the comments to take the M and he was 185
yea tey are for sure taller then normal
@@GCPerformance18 so do you recommend to follow their recommandations or going one size smaller ?
Tarmac Sl7 pro all day 🚴🏻♂️😍
okay then!!! you have spoken lol
What's the difference between the Scott Addict RC15 and the RC10?
just the components, I think the 15 comes with udi2 and the 10 comes with force etap and also a power meterr
Weight is too big...! Take with rim brakes... You win 800 grs easily... Better efficiency and no stress with Discs... Noise maintenance safety cost weight...
okay, sounds good but the only thing is........ that wasnt an option lol
The price difference between the two bikes is $1,600, not $1,800. Specialized for the win. Nicer bike IMHO
lmao yes so i have heard from alot of people thank you for correcting my shitty math hahahhaa
I'd buy the Scott even though I've owned a Sworks loved it but Tarmac is getting way out of hand price wise..
What is the official color on the Scott?
Komodo green Scott Addict rc
@@GCPerformance18 freakin gorgeous 😍
hey!!im planning to get an addict rc but im a bit confused about which size to choose.im 187 with 89 inseam and normal arm and leg lengths,what size do you suggest?
go medium
I’m 1.78 and 84 inseam. I was measured yesterday at the Scott dealer and for Addict “M” is recommended for Addict RC “M” again and second option “L”.
Addict is more agil with its wheels !
yea but the tarmac platform is a little nicer
@@GCPerformance18 Did not try it, but 28 tires are so cool in the turns when you go down, what is more i read that these tires with same pression have less rolling resistance. www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/specials/conti-gp4000s-ii-23-25-28
Geometry. Long legs short torso here. I like them both, not this colourscheme on the Scott though.
very nice!!!
Which one would you pick GC
Sl7 pro all day. But at those prices. Now the sl7 pro is 9000. The Scott might be a better value now
@@GCPerformance18 I could only afford second hand these days absolutely silly prices and even if had money I wouldn't pay that hopefully in time the prices may come down again
What tires are on the tarmac?
specialized turbo cotton tires 700x26
Tarmac costs more but has better warranty and lighter!
Barely barely lighter, with the 1800 you save you could probably buy better parts to make it lighter than the tarmac.
true and also like you said the warrant on the specialized is lifetime for the frame where as scott I think is 5 years on the frame so something to think about as well
I prefer Merida REACTO 8000-E
The Scott stem would make me say no.
yea tahts the only downfall to this bike, is that stem I wouldnt dare change a stem on there yet, its a pain. not for the rider but he would have to pay at least 50-100 for brake bleeds and everything.
im a mechanic you can take the stem out without changing the cable or the hoses. theres like a cover where you can get the cables out and clear the stem
I hand the 2021 Scott Addict RC 20 and it’s a great bike. And you can swap out the Stem without having to cut any cables. You just have to take off 3 covers and the stem comes off while the cables stay intact

Hey, what colour is the Scott? Is it the Komodo Green?
Yes it is :)
@@GCPerformance18 amazing, thanks for the reply!
Can the Addict RC run other cockpits?
not that I know of, It might be able to run like the specialized stem but it would look horrible, also they have a full carbon stem and bar combo that looks really nice
Yes, you can with Pro Stealth Vibe Carbon : ua-cam.com/video/pHoSDEXR3B0/v-deo.html

Just open the main hole a little more with a file and you're ready to go. I saw it done on a 2020 RC Scoot addict where I bought my RC15 2021. I'll take a picture of the hanger when I repace there.

@@chiky333333 Guess what? I just saw the same thing myself a minute ago (PRO Vibe Aero Superlight), the bike's still in the shop as I posted this reply.
Hello,
About the weight of the rc15 (onyx black) in the video "2021 SCOTT ADDICT RC 15 (ONYX BLACK!) Video * INSANE DEAL * TARMAC SL7 PRO (BETTER DEAL ??) "
The weight given at 0:15 is 17.03 lbs which is egal of 7.725 kg and not 7.81 kg just before.
Thanks
what do you mean im confused by the sentence im sorry
Excellent cheap bikes
yes cheaper thens works but by no means cheap cheap
Emonda Sl7
I got one coming and I hope I can compare the two, I have a fired who ahs one coming
I get the Scott any day, Specialized is an overpriced bike just like BMC, Trek and Bianchi.
scott is a hot bike just hard to find in the states
@@GCPerformance18 thank god I was able to get mine at BIKE TECH MIAMI, pre-COVID…they had plenty!!!
eff specialized.
lmaooooo thats a bold statement
scott hub is awful. lol.
what does GC stand for?
first and alst name, but also maybe general contender??!!?!??!?!? lmao but naw first and last name, but wanted to make something that was simple so people could ware it as everyday brand and not somethign thats like emabrrising asd like a youtuber they watch or something, so im not going for th ewhole youtube tag or everything like that
