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 efficient suspension system. It excels in climbing and offers a playful, confident ride on descents, though some riders find the TwinLoc system cumbersome. The bike's geometry and suspension setup are frequently highlighted as strengths, making it a strong contender in its category.

Pros
  • Lightweight design for an enduro bike

  • Adaptable wheel sizes with flip chip technology

  • Efficient suspension system with TwinLoc remote

  • Updated geometry for improved handling

  • Versatile performance across climbing and descending

Cons
  • TwinLoc remote placement can be inconvenient

  • Some models come with narrow handlebars

  • Component choices may not suit all riders

  • Suspension can feel less supportive on rough descents

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.

SCOTT Genius 900 Tuned AXS on test – the XC machine among trail bikes

Feb 2020 · Christoph Bayer

The SCOTT Genius 900 Tuned is a perennial contender of our group tests. That’s no wonder given that the bike was considered one of the most progressive models on the market when it was launched in June 2017. Three years have gone by since. Can the bike still convince our test crew? Click here for […]

Highs
  • Efficient and light-footed climber

  • Precise handling on the descents

  • Eye-catching looks

Lows
  • Difficult handling in demanding terrain

  • Tires offer little grip and puncture protection

  • Overall very stiff and uncomfortable

Scott Genius 940 review - MBR

May 2019 · Paul Burwell

The range got a big overhaul last year so the Scott Genius 940 remains relatively unchanged for 2019, apart from the price, which has increased by £200.

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.
