Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its adaptability, with options to switch between 29er and 27.5+ tires, and a flip chip for maintaining geometry. Its suspension performance is highlighted for being efficient and capable, with a TwinLoc system that adjusts damping and travel for varied terrain. The bike's geometry is modern, offering a slack head angle and steep seat angle for aggressive riding.

The new Scott Genius ST was the lightest, longest, and most expensive bike we had on hand for the Whistler Field Test
Very capable descender
Light weight helps on the climbs
Futuristic looks make it stand out from the crowd
Rattling dropper housing inside the large diameter downtube makes a racket.
Proprietary shock, thru-headset cable routing, and integrated cockpit can make maintenance and setup more time-consuming.

A do-it-all trail mountain bike with suspension that changes travel for climbing or descending, plus gorgeous looks. What's not to like?
May 2020 · Sarah Gamsjäger
Mid-priced, well-specced, enduro-inspired trail bike with well-tuned suspension but budget kit
29in wheels roll over everything
Composed-feeling geometry and suspension
Stock Maxxis Rekon tyres aren’t well-suited to UK winter riding
Alloy frame and budget fork add weight

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'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.
