Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its innovative TwinLoc suspension system, offering adjustable geometry and efficient climbing capabilities. It excels in agility and handling, though some reviews note a lack of stability on high-speed descents. The bike's design caters to a wide range of trail conditions, making it a strong contender in the enduro category.
Versatile trail-oriented package
Optimized climbing efficiency
TwinLoc system for three riding modes
Lightweight and agile feel
Adjustable geometry
TwinLoc clutters the cockpit
Lacks stability on rough, high-speed downhills
May not appeal to super-aggressive riders
Heavy for some models
The Genius was engineered to be a true quiver killer.
BIKE MagazineIt’s a strange amalgamation of a bike, seemingly cobbled together from onto which is grafted a mishmash of geometry theories, and all mated to wheels that wouldn’t look out of place on a fat bike.Bicycling

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.

With 170 mm of custom-tuned Fox suspension front and rear, the Scott Genius LT 710 could be forgiven if it only performed well at the bike park. But with Scott’s NUDE rear shock and TwinLoc design, which simultaneously adjust the front and rear suspension between two travel lengths and three modes with the push of a button, the Genius LT has the capacity to change on the fly from a full-on enduro bike to something that pedals more like a short travel trail bike.

Like any gate crasher, some just wanted it to go away. But then others were happy to have this rowdy new character join the crowd, with its unconventional approach. A year on from its arrival, the mountain bike party is still divided about the intrusion of Plus (or 6Fattie, Mid Fat, or 27+, or whatever the …
Line 'em, run 'em down.
Quite light.
Twinloc suspension is well suited to this format.
Eye opening cornering performance.
Long stays, if we're being picky.
