At home on any trail with the Scott Genius
What makes a good trail bike? Besides the trail itself, the way uphill is of course crucial. With the Scott Genius series, fans of the brand have bikes that play to their strengths in both directions. Easy uphill and fast and agile downhill, exactly the combination that makes you want more. Scott impressively demonstrates that 150mm of suspension travel doesn't necessarily mean that a bike is cumbersome. The Genius bikes are light and agile, making them ideal touring bikes. Scott offers these bikes in 27.5-inch and 29-inch versions, in both aluminum and carbon. With a wide range of different specs and finishes, there's something for everyone. The workmanship and functionality of these bikes is, as is typical for Scott, flawless and guarantees worry- and fatigue-free fun over a long period of time!
Genius in aluminum, for daring maneuvers
In the Fully and Trail sector, aluminum is still widely used as a frame material. The latest manufacturing processes ensure that these bikes are not only stable, but also extremely light. The Scott Genius 750 with maneuverable 27.5-inch wheels is the entry point to the series. Equipped with a Rock Shox Recon RL air suspension fork with 140mm of travel and an X-Fusion Nude rear shock, this bike has enough reserves for tough trails. The durable and high-quality Shimano SLX rear derailleur with 20 speeds also makes touring and steep climbs possible. Tubeless ready rims, a syncros dropper post and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes successfully round off the package.
For fast descents with a lot of steam, Scott provides the Genius 940. The suspension, consisting of the Fox 34 Float air suspension fork with 150mm travel and the Fox Float EVOL shock, plays to its strengths especially on the trail. The Sram GX / Eagle drivetrain and the powerful Shimano MT500 disc brake ensure safe braking and fast acceleration. At around 14.3 kilograms, the bike is light for a 29er full-suspension bike. The Genius 930 features an almost full Shimano XT group. The SLX M7000 brake is generously dimensioned with 180mm discs. The factory-installed Trail Defender and the remote-controlled seatpost from Fox make this bike a real trail hero. All aluminum frames are perfectly crafted and provide a successful basis for this chic sports equipment. The typical Scott look conveys aggressiveness and exclusivity.
Scott Genius made of carbon for even more propulsion
Hardly any other manufacturer understands the art of building carbon frames as well as Scott. The stiff and light framesets are the basis for extremely sporty and fast trail bikes in a class of their own. The Scott Genius 920 / 720 relies on the ingenious combination of Fox 34 Float and Fox Nude EVOL air suspension and impresses with 150mm of travel and the Scott TwinLoc suspension system. The powerful Sram GX / Eagle drivetrain gets the bike up any mountain quickly. The best components from Syncros and the tubeless-ready wheelset from Maxxis ensure a low weight of approx. 13.2 kilograms (13.5 kilograms for the 29er).
For professional use, Scott equips its Genius 710 with a complete Shimano XT group. The powerful disc brake from the series provides sufficient security even in tricky situations. For enthusiasts and World Cup contenders, Scott builds the Genius 700 Ultimate. This fast racing machine combines so much technical sophistication that it is impossible to list everything individually. In addition to Fox Float / Nude suspension and a remote seatpost with a high-end Kashimao coating, Scott has used the Sram XX1 / Eagle rear derailleur and the Sram Guide Ultimate disc brake.
The exclusive DT Swiss XMC 1200 carbon wheelset and a variety of other components made of the lightweight carbon (such as the crank or the seat stays) push the weight of this fully to an incredible 11.7 kilograms. The chic look with the dark frameset in successful contrast to the golden Kashima Coating, looks classy and aggressive. Like all bikes in the Genius series made of carbon, the tidy cockpit and the great frame design create a sporty look that is perfectly rounded off by the successful color selection.
