Scott Addict RC HMX SL: An 11lb. Tailored Build

Scott Addict RC HMX SL: An 11lb. Tailored Build

Can we do a tailored build that is lighter, and more exotic than the stock version? The answer is yes. Come look!

The Scott Addict RC has been a popular custom build here as of late, and they have proven to be a pleasure for lightweight projects. The other day we did a build with the objective of coming in lighter than the complete stock bike from Scott. Have a look at the finished photos below, then head over to our YouTube channel for an in-depth breakdown of the parts used and the build.

At the end of the day this bike was a touch over 11 pounds, and much more interesting parts-wise than the complete stock bike. Believe it or not, it was also about $25 less than the stock version as well.
