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.
BIKE Magazine"The big tires boost confidence, providing extra traction on technical climbs and more forgiveness through jumbled lines."Bicycling
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.

If we had the choice, we would almost prefer to choose the SCOTT Genius 950 over the flagship model from our last trail bike group test. Check out our review to find out why and what this bike is capable of.
Riding position instils you with confidence
Efficient climber
Very comfortable
Wide tires make handling feel vague
Minimal tire clearance in the rear triangle
TwinLoc has to be used as otherwise the bike will bob as you pedal

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.

Big tires and better suspension blew us away on this women’s trail bike—and it’s not even the most expensive model

It’s now been six months since we first received the Scott Genius 900 Tuned longterm test bike. In that time, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to put it through its...

The Genius is a good, all-round trail bike that can be pushed pretty hard. Suspension balance takes time to perfect and not everyone will be a fan of the tyres. Buy if you're in the market for a well-mannered, long travel trail bike that's keen to eat up the miles
Decent proportions, smooth, active rear suspension tracks terrain well, TwinLoc suspension system makes shock adjustment easy
Tyres get out of their depth quickly, suspension balance front to rear takes time to dial in

The Genius was launched back in 2004 when Scott saw the need to add a well-rounded trailbike to its lineup. Over the last 14 years the Genius has

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.
