Field Test: 2023 Scott Genius ST - Cape Not Included

Dec 2022 · Mike Kazimer

The new Scott Genius ST was the lightest, longest, and most expensive bike we had on hand for the Whistler Field Test

Highs
  • Very capable descender

  • Light weight helps on the climbs

  • Futuristic looks make it stand out from the crowd

Lows
  • 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

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

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 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.
