Scott Contessa Genius 910 review

May 2020 · Sarah Gamsjäger

Mid-priced, well-specced, enduro-inspired trail bike with well-tuned suspension but budget kit

Highs
  • 29in wheels roll over everything

  • Composed-feeling geometry and suspension

Lows
  • Stock Maxxis Rekon tyres aren’t well-suited to UK winter riding

  • Alloy frame and budget fork add weight

Scott Genius 920 review - MBR

May 2020 · Alan Muldoon

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.

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 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.
