Scott Genius 900 Tuned review

Oct 2019 · Mick Kirkman

Tech-equipped do-it-all that’s well-priced and versatile, if a little conservative to ride

Highs
  • Pedals and climbs so well it puts many XC bikes to shame

  • Own-brand carbon wheels feel light and accelerate fast

Lows
  • TwinLoc system brings unnecessary complications for some riders

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 900 Ultimate Review

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.
