The Addict 10 stands as a testament to what a road bike can be: universally loved for its exceptional rideability. This isn't merely a racing machine; it's a meticulously re-engineered marvel that strikes a perfect equilibrium between raw performance, enduring comfort, and sensible budget, truly making it the quintessential road bike for any journey.
Its remarkable rideability is deeply rooted in its thoughtfully designed geometry. Unlike more aggressive, compact racing platforms, the Addict 10 features a slightly more relaxed posture, offering riders a more open and upright feel. This is achieved through a strategically extended stack and a slightly shorter reach, ensuring a comfortable and confident riding position for extended periods.
Furthermore, our engineers have masterfully refined the frame's HMX carbon layup. This advanced carbon construction is not just about stiffness and power transfer; it's specifically tuned to be compliant and forgiving. The result is a ride that effortlessly smooths out minor imperfections and absorbs the vibrations from long stretches of less-than-perfect pavement, reducing rider fatigue and enhancing overall enjoyment.
Despite its emphasis on comfort and accessibility, the Addict 10 is far from a compromise in performance. It possesses an inherent ability to effortlessly maintain speed at the front of any group ride, tackle challenging climbs with remarkable efficiency, and descend through winding mountain passes with unwavering stability and precision. Yet, its true charm lies in its versatility: it's just as content to leisurely roll alongside your friends on a relaxed Sunday no-drops ride, embodying the spirit of cycling freedom.
And the Addict 10 isn't confined to pristine, familiar routes. Should your adventurous spirit beckon you beyond your usual heat maps, its impressive 38mm tire clearance stands ready. This generous clearance allows for the fitment of wider, more robust tires, transforming the Addict 10 into a formidable mixed-surface explorer. It's primed to confidently navigate gravel paths, light trails, and rougher terrain, outperforming many so-called "all-road" bikes when the going gets tough.
The Addict 10 is built to accompany you wherever your wheels may lead, however you choose to ride, and for as long as your adventure lasts. And for those epic rides that stretch beyond expectation, the cleverly frame-stowed Save-The-Day Kit provides peace of mind, containing a tube, tire lever, and mini-pump to rescue you from unforeseen mechanicals.
Completing this exceptional package, the Addict 10 is equipped with SRAM's cutting-edge wireless Force AXS 2x groupset, delivering crisp, reliable, and precise shifting. This is paired with fast and stable Fulcrum Wind 42 disc wheels, shod with high-performance Schwalbe ONE tires, ensuring optimal grip and efficiency whether you're chasing KOMs or simply enjoying the scenery, at any speed you desire.
