Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its lightweight design, adaptable wheel sizes, and innovative TwinLoc suspension system. It offers a balanced ride with improved geometry and suspension performance, making it suitable for a variety of terrains. However, some reviews note issues with the TwinLoc remote placement and component choices.
Lightweight design
Adaptable wheel sizes with flip chip technology
Innovative TwinLoc suspension system
Improved geometry for better handling
Versatile performance across terrains
TwinLoc remote placement can be inconvenient
Some component choices may not suit all riders
Integrated cockpit lacks adjustability for some
29 or 27.5 plus: There are stock options with either size, but every Genius can switch between the two with the flip of a chip.
BIKE Magazine"The big tires boost confidence, providing extra traction on technical climbs and more forgiveness through jumbled lines."Bicycling
For a 150mm-travel bike, the 900 Tuned is seriously light (12.68kg, medium), and that’s noticeable as soon as you start turning the pedals.

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

True all-mountain versatility in a lightweight yet shred-worthy package.

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.

Like any gate crasher, some just wanted it to go away. But then others were happy to have this rowdy new character join the crowd, with its unconventional approach. A year on from its arrival, the mountain bike party is still divided about the intrusion of Plus (or 6Fattie, Mid Fat, or 27+, or whatever the …
Line 'em, run 'em down.
Quite light.
Twinloc suspension is well suited to this format.
Eye opening cornering performance.
Long stays, if we're being picky.
