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.

Efficient and light-footed climber
Precise handling on the descents
Eye-catching looks
Difficult handling in demanding terrain

Overall, it's a hugely impressive long travel trail bike but this particular build has a few componentry bugbears.
