Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its adaptable suspension, lightweight design, and innovative features like the TwinLoc system. It offers a balanced ride with improved geometry for both climbing and descending. However, some reviews note issues with component placement and tire performance in certain conditions.
Adaptable suspension with TwinLoc system
Lightweight design for an enduro bike
Improved geometry for balanced handling
Versatile wheel size options
Innovative features like flip chip for wheel size adjustment
TwinLoc remote placement can be awkward
Some models have basic componentry
Tire performance varies by condition
Alloy frames add weight in certain builds
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 Scott Genius 920 is definitely a contender If you’re into shredding singletrack, big rides and climbing. It’s efficient but it’s also a lot of fun.

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 […]
Efficient and light-footed climber
Precise handling on the descents
Eye-catching looks
Difficult handling in demanding terrain
Tires offer little grip and puncture protection
Overall very stiff and uncomfortable

Tech-equipped do-it-all that’s well-priced and versatile, if a little conservative to ride
Pedals and climbs so well it puts many XC bikes to shame
Own-brand carbon wheels feel light and accelerate fast
TwinLoc system brings unnecessary complications for some riders

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.

Flow Mountain Bike reviews the new 2018 Scott Contessa Genius 720. After a month of shredding, what do we think of this women's trail bike?
Looks brilliant.
Loads of grip.
Excellent mix of stability and playfulness.
Twin Loc / dropper lever arrangement is hard for small hands.
