Summary
The Scott Genius is a versatile enduro bike praised for its adaptability, with options to switch between 29er and 27.5+ tires, and a flip chip for maintaining geometry. Its suspension performance is highlighted for being efficient and capable, with a TwinLoc system that adjusts damping and travel for varied terrain. The bike's geometry is modern, offering a slack head angle and steep seat angle for aggressive riding.
Adaptability with wheel sizes and flip chip for geometry maintenance
Efficient and capable suspension performance with TwinLoc system
Modern geometry with slack head angle and steep seat angle
Lightweight design and clean aesthetics
Versatile for both climbing and descending
TwinLoc remote can be cumbersome and takes up space
Some models may have stiff setups leading to discomfort
Componentry issues in certain builds, like brake performance
Limited rear tire clearance with larger tires
29 or 27.5 plus: There are stock options with either size, but every Genius can switch between the two with the flip of a chip.

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?

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

If we had the choice, we would almost prefer to choose the SCOTT Genius 950 over the flagship model from our last trail bike group test. Check out our review to find out why and what this bike is capable of.
Riding position instils you with confidence
Efficient climber
Very comfortable
Wide tires make handling feel vague
Minimal tire clearance in the rear triangle
TwinLoc has to be used as otherwise the bike will bob as you pedal

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.

Big tires and better suspension blew us away on this women’s trail bike—and it’s not even the most expensive model
