It’s bikes and wheelsets galore at road.cc HQ, with endurance bikes, aero road bikes and a titanium gravel machine all in for review, alongside top-tier carbon wheelsets from Scope and Vision featuring the latest aero-focused designs. Here are the previews, with full reviews landing on the site soon.
Scott Addict 20 (£4,299)
The Addict launched at the end of last year and is Scott’s endurance range, featuring what the brand describes as maximum comfort geometry, clearance for up to 38mm tyres, and a host of integrated design features – some of which have trickled down from the top-tier Addict RC race bike.
Similarly, Van Rysel’s EDR CF endurance bike that was released last month, also offers clearane for 38mm tyres with integrated frame storage.
Our test bike is equipped with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, Fulcrum Wind 42 Disc wheels fitted with 34mm Schwalbe One tyres, and Syncros finishing kit. In size M, it weighs 7,850g on the road.cc Scales of Truth. Scott says the new Addict is 50 per cent more comfortable than the previous model – a claim that Stuart Kerton will be putting to the test in his full review, coming soon.
Scope Artech 6 wheelset (£3,498)
Scope’s Artech 6 wheels feature a distinctive rim profile with a textured surface that resembles scales. The brand calls this “Aeroscales”, claiming the pattern creates micro airflows that travel at different speeds across the rim, helping to stabilise airflow and reduce drag.
The wheelset is 65mm deep and uses carbon spokes, with a total weight of 1,316g on out scales. In comparison, the Enve SES 6.7 wheels, which combine a 60mm front and 67mm rear rim depth, weigh a claimed 1,457g. Rim dimensions come in at 31mm external and 23mm internal, with a hooked tyre bed that Scope says is optimised for 28mm clincher and tubeless tyres “for a perfect balance between rolling resistance and comfort.”
You have the option to upgrade to CeramicSpeed bearings for an additional £500, although Josh Price is testing this set in its standard configuration. Check back soon for his full verdict.
Felt Nexar FRD Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 (£9,899)
Felt Bicycles entered 2026 under new full ownership, and with that, the brand says it is returning to its roots by focusing on high-performance drop-bar bikes for road, gravel, triathlon, and track.
The Nexar is the brand’s updated aero bike, featuring a fully integrated front end and clearance for up to 32mm tyres. The top-tier build weighs 6.62kg in a size L – below the UCI’s 6.8kg minimum weight limit. Tyre clearance matches the latest Giant Propel Advanced SL, but many recently launched aero road bikes can take wider tyres; the latest Cervelo S5 can handle tyres up to 34mm, for example.
Felt doesn’t sell direct, so in the UK its bikes are available through online retailers such as Merlin Cycles and Speedhub.
Vision Metron 60 RS SL Disc Carbon Road Wheelset (£3,099.99)
The Vision Metron 60 RS SL Disc Carbon Road Wheelset is the brand’s first full carbon wheelset, combining a 60mm-deep carbon rim with carbon spokes, and is used at the highest level by WorldTour teams including Bahrain Victorious and EF Education-EasyPost.
Vision says the Metron 60 RS SL has been developed using CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing to deliver an “ultrafast and stable aero wheel”.
The internal rim width is 23mm and the external rim width is 33mm, with the wheelset weighing 1,388g including valves and tape. For comparison, Zipp 454 NSW Carbon Wheelset which feature a 58mm deep rim have a claimed weight of 1,358g.

Gloria All-Gravel SRAM Force (£4,949)
British brand Gloria’s All Gravel is a titanium-framed bike with a lovely raw finish and clearance for tyres up to 2.1 inches. It’s designed to handle “gravel trails, bridleways and mixed terrain”, and is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The frame is paired with a carbon fork and UDH hanger, and offers the option of internal or external cable routing – our test bike is set up with a fully internal configuration.
As well as standard complete bikes and frameset options, the All Gravel can be fully customised. Our test bike is equipped with a SRAM Force groupset, Zipp 303 XPLR S wheels and Vittoria Mezcal XC tyres, with a total weight of 9,680g in size M. Stu Kerton is currently putting the Gloria All Gravel through its paces, so check back soon for the full review.

2 thoughts on “Scope’s wheels with “Aeroscales”, Felt’s lightweight aero bike plus more cool things from Vision, Scott and Gloria”
I can’t help but feel like Road.cc has a financial interest in Gloria with the amount they are pushing what is basically a generic Chinese Ti frame importer.
Or possibly they’re just very keen at sending road.cc items for review.
