Starting with the lightweight and strong HMF carbon frame, the design focused on balancing road riding performance with all-road comfort. The frame is 25% more vertically compliant than racing bikes for a softer, more composed ride over rough conditions. The geo is also more open with a taller stack and shorter reach than a racing setup to give all-day comfort in the saddle. Tire clearance is also meant for you to go long, fitting up to 38mm tires for maximum cush if you take your Addict 40 on a mixed-surface adventure. All that said, it's not a slouch should you want to up the pace. It's responsive on the pedals, swift on the climbs, and planted on the descent, being just as eager to get your heart racing as it is slow-rolling to a coffee stop on a casual Sunday.
We equipped Addict 40 with the versatility for whatever ride you go on. Shimano's 105 Di2 electronic 2x drivetrain delivers workhorse performance and reliability on a budget, and durable Syncros RP2.0 wheels on Schwalbe ONE tires give a quick and confident roll anywhere you take your ride.
