Tested: Scott Genius LT 710

Dec 2016

With 170 mm of custom-tuned Fox suspension front and rear, the Scott Genius LT 710 could be forgiven if it only performed well at the bike park. But with Scott’s NUDE rear shock and TwinLoc design, which simultaneously adjust the front and rear suspension between two travel lengths and three modes with the push of a button, the Genius LT has the capacity to change on the fly from a full-on enduro bike to something that pedals more like a short travel trail bike.

Highs
  • Line 'em, run 'em down.

  • Quite light.

  • Twinloc suspension is well suited to this format.

  • Eye opening cornering performance.

Lows
  • Long stays, if we're being picky.
