History

Historical Context

In 1996, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) set a minimum weight limit of 6.8 kg for competitive road bikes to promote fairness and safety. This regulation influenced manufacturers like SRAM. The recent introduction of the Scott Addict RC bike, weighing under 5 kg, challenges these standards, reflecting a trend in cycling towards performance optimization that could reshape competitive regulations in the sport.
