I'm on the fence about getting the 900. This is the older version with the 50 motor. The 26 model isn't available in the US.

I did a test ride and loved it. I prefer a light assist and a bike I can ride even without a motor on it. I don't need a ton of travel, so the 130 should be fine. I don't do bike parks or jumps. I do like rock gardens and climbs.

Any long time riders? Concerned about the integrated shock and any other issues long term. The bike is on sale now. By pure feel, I want to buy it. Just worried about some of the proprietary issues with it. Next best option for me would likely be a trek 9.8

J’ai un vtt sr de 14,5kg Orbea je recherche un vélo un peu plus facile à emmener en montée notamment . J’ai pensé à un Gravel speedster que j’ai essayé un 30. L’essai était mitigé car il n’y avait pas un si gros écart avec mon vtt… on m’a proposé alors un Gravel Scott addict 40 en carbonne avec un poids de 9,5kg meilleure transmission egalement. Je ne peux pas l’essayer d’après vous l’écart de comportement était significatif par rapport au speedster ? Ou pas assez ?

I have the option to get a complementary bike (my main one is a TT bike). I have a maximum budget of 5,000 USD. Taking into consideration the specs of both options, could you help advise me?

• Scott Addict RC 15
  • Year: 2025, brand new
  • Groupset: SRAM Force
  • Features: Power meter included
  • Wheels: Syncros Capital 1.0 35 mm
  • Price: 4,500 USD
• Scott Foil RC 10
  • Year: 2022
  • Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2
  • Features: No power meter (though I already own pedals with a power meter)
  • Wheels: Syncros Capital 1.0 50 mm
  • Price: 3,100 USD (I would be the third owner)

My routes are pretty hilly (usually around 800 m of elevation gain), and I think the Addict could help me. However, I am not sure if it is really worth the 1,400 USD difference, or if, as an amateur cyclist, it makes sense to spend that much more.
