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

Big tires and better suspension blew us away on this women’s trail bike—and it’s not even the most expensive model

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

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.

The Genius is a long-legged 29er that manages to keep an agile personality.

The engineers of the all-new SCOTT Genius 700 Ultimate have pulled out all the tricks. The bike not only looks outrageously good, but it’s also record-breakingly light too. Its top spec and potent geometry, on paper the Genius promises to be a grin-inducing machine – we couldn’t wait to test it out on the trail!

What are we looking at here? It’s a 150mm-travel 29er, with the trail bike category in its sights. Although this bike recently won the Enduro National Champs under Rowena Fry and Izzy Flint (read about it here), we would shy away from positioning it as an Enduro machine. It casts a broader net.
