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 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.

Dec 2017

The Genius platform began life with victory in the XC Marathon World Champs in 2003 under …

Highs
  • Surefooted and willing when it all gets rowdy.

  • Heaped piles of traction.

  • Still a very versatile machine.

Lows
  • More lethargic than earlier versions.
