We received our first Scott Addict R2 roadie in the shop last week and you won't believe how light it is! Keep in mind the R2 is a Dura-Ace equipped version with Kysrium ES wheels and with the golden platform test ride pedals it weighed in at 14.55lbs!!!! For comparison purposes a Madone SL 5.9 tips the scales a little closer to 15.8lbs! Is the extra pound worth it? How different will it feel being that much lighter? There's only one way to find out......
