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?

A stable pedalling bike that'll get you up the hills efficiently, before happily 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

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

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

All-new for 2023, the Scott Genius is now offered in two distinct versions. How do the two bikes ride? Read on for our Scott Genius review.
Stunning frame design
Lively & light-footed ride quality
The plush, split personality suspension
Incredible technical climbing agility
Easily adjustable head angle
Genius ST adds welcome option to range
Reliant on TwinLoc remote
Headset cable routing
Tight rear tyre clearance
Lack of mullet compatibility
Dropper post has developed some play

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.
