Mountain Flyer
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.

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 …

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.

'16 Scott Gambler 710 Review

Apr 2016 · April 19, 2016

By the end of this review, it’ll be clear to you that the 2016 Scott Gambler is indeed a mighty fine downhill machine. This bike’s performance is no ‘fluke’ though. Its DNA stems from nearly 60 years of market leading design, development and technology.  The birth of Scott started way back in 1958 when a talented engineer and ski racer by the name of Ed Scott decided that bamboo and steel ski poles just weren’t cutting it and invented the […]
