A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

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.

Pros
  • Lightweight design

  • Adaptable wheel sizes with flip chip technology

  • Innovative TwinLoc suspension system

  • Improved geometry for better handling

  • Versatile performance across terrains

Cons
  • TwinLoc remote placement can be inconvenient

  • Some component choices may not suit all riders

  • Integrated cockpit lacks adjustability for some

Key Quotes
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.

"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.

Dec 2018 · Christoph Bayer

A ride on the SCOTT Genius 900 Ultimate is extremely electrifying – not only because of the electronic suspension. We got it in test for you!

Highs
  • Looks super fancy

  • Tremendously efficient

  • XC riders will love it

Lows
  • Very low cockpit

  • Instils little confidence on steep descents

  • Tires lack grip

Scott Genius 920 review

Mar 2018

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.
