"The SCOTT Addict RC SUB5 is comically light, but it's not some fragile, scale-chasing garage ornament; it's a proper race-ready machine."
"This one was built with a clear checklist: 2×12 electronic shifting, at least 28mm tires, modern wide rims, powerful brakes, a one-piece aero cockpit, real bar tape, and a final weight that still includes pedals, bottle cages, and a computer mount."
"Dangerholm's take flips that script a bit. The point here isn't nostalgia for superlight bikes of old. It's proving that a modern disc-brake road bike can still sneak under 5kg."
The SCOTT Addict RC SUB5, created by Dangerholm, is a custom-built road bike weighing 4,991.4 grams. It features 2×12 electronic shifting, 28mm tires, modern wide rims, and powerful brakes. The design includes a one-piece aero cockpit and real bar tape, ensuring it is a practical bike rather than a fragile model. This bike challenges the notion that lightweight bikes must sacrifice functionality, proving that modern designs can achieve extreme lightness while maintaining safety and performance.
