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?

Today Scott is releasing their new Genius, an All Mountain rig with 29-inch wheels and 160 / 150mm of travel at the front and rear respectively. The thing that immediately catches the eye is the frame with the hidden shock absorber, along the lines of the Spark. Read on for a deeper dive… Geometry The bike on test is in size M. I am 179cm tall and I find myself straddling the M and L. In this case the 460mm reach was sufficient for a nice central position which, assisted by a saddle angle of 77.1° and a 440mm chain

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 […]
Efficient and light-footed climber
Precise handling on the descents
Eye-catching looks
Difficult handling in demanding terrain
Tires offer little grip and puncture protection
Overall very stiff and uncomfortable

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

Scott’s popular Genius has been in the lineup for no fewer than 14 years now, occupying a position smack-bang in the middle of the range between the XC-oriented Spark, and...

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
