A Sub-5 Kilo Scott You Actually Want to Ride: Dangerholm Strikes Again

Key Points:

• Dangerholm, the persona of Swedish master bike mechanic Gustav Gullholm, has created a sub-5-kilogram Scott Addict RC road bike, focusing on a lightweight yet fully functional high-performance design.
• The bike weighs 4,991.4 grams (11.0 pounds) including pedals, bottle cages, and computer mount, and meets specific criteria such as a 2×12 electronic drivetrain, minimum 28mm wide tires, modern wide rims, and powerful brakes.
• This build represents Dangerholm’s personal vision of a “normal” lightweight road bike, balancing extreme weight reduction with practical features for real-world riding, unlike ultra-light hill climb bikes.
• Dangerholm is known for pushing bike construction limits, having previously built the world’s lightest XC and 29" DH bikes, and transforming conventional Scott models into unique, high-performance machines with striking aesthetics.
• The Dangerholm Sub Five Scott Addict RC features a custom black and white tattoo-inspired paint scheme and a full component spec list emphasizing lightweight, performance, and ride quality.
