Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its innovative TwinLoc suspension system, offering adjustable geometry and efficient climbing capabilities. It excels in agility and handling, though some reviews note a lack of stability on high-speed descents. The bike's design caters to a wide range of trail conditions, making it a strong contender in the enduro category.
Versatile trail-oriented package
Optimized climbing efficiency
TwinLoc system for three riding modes
Lightweight and agile feel
Adjustable geometry
TwinLoc clutters the cockpit
Lacks stability on rough, high-speed downhills
May not appeal to super-aggressive riders
Heavy for some models
The Genius was engineered to be a true quiver killer.
BIKE MagazineIt’s a strange amalgamation of a bike, seemingly cobbled together from onto which is grafted a mishmash of geometry theories, and all mated to wheels that wouldn’t look out of place on a fat bike.Bicycling
The new Genius gets a supportive four-bar suspension layout, which could hardly feel more different to the old design

The basis of the Scott Genius 720 layout comes from the Scott Spark, which means it gets an upside down shock, cradled in a Trunnion mount at the down tube.
Does everything very well
But lacks sparkle

The Genius was launched back in 2004 when Scott saw the need to add a well-rounded trailbike to its lineup. Over the last 14 years the Genius has

Scott's all-new Genius range packs 150mm of travel into a chassis with progressive geometry and your choice of 650b or 29er wheels, both shod with extra fat rubber. This Genius 920 sits near the top of the range, using a carbon front triangle paired with an alloy rear and 29" wheels. Overall, it's a hugely impressive long travel trail bike but this particular build has a few componentry bugbears.

With 150mm of travel front and rear, the Genius sits squarely in the sweet spot for most riders. For 2018, it's also received a number of key updates, including the capability to be run 29er, 27.5 or 27.5 plus. - Mtbr.com

We reviewed the Genius Plus 710 model earlier this year, using the same frame as this model with a lower level parts spec for $5999. We went deep into our thoughts behind the plus bike concept and how they ride on the trails, head to that review here – Tested: Scott Genius Plus 710. On …
More traction than anything we've ridden.
Sweetest parts.
Smooth and quiet.
Twinloc suspension.
Light for its size.
Tall front end.
Needs technical trails to make the most of it.

With fingertip control of the Genius LT's 170mm of suspension travel, is it really 2-bikes-in-1?

This isn’t a fat bike, but it isn’t a garden-variety trail bike either. The 27.5 x 3-inch Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evo tires look a bit grotesque, but they
