Summary
The Scott Genius is a highly versatile enduro bike that excels in both climbing and descending, thanks to its dual-travel design and efficient suspension system. Its geometry and handling are praised for aggressive riding, offering a good blend of stability and agility. While the bike's innovative features like the concealed shock and TwinLoc system add to its appeal, some users note complexities in setup and maintenance.
Performs well in both climbing and descending
Geometry-changing dual-travel design enhances versatility
Clean aesthetics and protected internal shock for consistent performance
Lightweight and precise handling
Effective TwinLoc suspension system
Dual-travel, multi-lever system can seem confusing at first
Proprietary shock and integrated cockpit complicate maintenance
Stiff frame/wheel/cockpit compromises hand comfort
Rear brake lacks power
Limited rear tyre clearance
Having one bike that performs well in both situations makes the ups more bearable without sacrificing Fun Factor on the way down.
BikerumorScott has built an incredibly capable, aggressive trail bike.

The bottom line is, the Scott Genius ST hidden shock isn’t just for aesthetics. It enables an amazing rear suspension design.

The all-new Scott Genius incorporates the same bold, distinctly Swiss design as the Scott Spark 900 Tuned AXS we reviewed last year. The new bike tucks its rear shock, a trunnion-mounted Fox Float X Nude, entirely inside the frame for a package that’s both sleek and practical. Rest assured; this bike will turn heads at your local trailhead for the foreseeable future. In addition to its svelte appearance, I found the Genius to be an exceptionally capable 150-millimeter trail bike. Climbing aboard the Genius felt balanced, a sensation I attributed to its 77.2-degree seat tube angle. This bike puts you in an excellent, modern climbing position by keeping the front end planted to the ground on even the steepest uphill maneuvers. Another distinctive feature among all Scott bikes I’ve tested is the handlebar-mounted control center. The Genius has three left-hand levers: one to control the dropper and two additional levers to reduce the air volume of the shock and add a dash of compression damping to firm things up. It’s rewarding to reach for the lockout lever so easily. I’m typically a rider that reserves the lockout lever for only the most heinous road climbs but, with the Genius, I was reaching for it any chance I had—not out of necessity, but out of downright convenience.

A stable-pedalling bike that'll get you up the hills efficiently, before barrelling down the other side in an aggressive, yet playful manner
Fast and efficient uphill
Poppy and engaging back down
Clean aesthetics
Stiff frame/wheel/cockpit compromises hand comfort
Rear brake lacks oomph

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?
Nov 2022 · Felix Rauch
We put the brand new 2023 SCOTT Genius ST Tuned to the test, offering 160/150 mm travel, and featuring the new FOX FLOAT X Nude shock.
Precise handling
Clean looking and highly integrated frame
Excellent added features like the TyreWiz and the tools hidden in the axle
TracLoc remote isn’t the most intuitive to use
Flimsy tire casings that don’t live up to the bike’s potential
Nov 2022 · Marco Toniolo
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
