Scott Genius

Scott Genius
Reviews include Singletracks from July 2015 (covering the 930 model) and describing the versatility, while at the cross-country trail end of the bike ranges, it can tackle all sorts of terrain and can also be modified easily. It also comments on the suspension: has excellent design accompanied by TwinLoc remote to control both front and rear shocks at the same time, plus the upgrades could be made to the tyres and the forks to give more travel and a bit more grip.

Amongst the reviews is one from Bike Radar from August 2015 (covering the 750 model) and mentioning the ride, which is well balanced overall but quite tricky to adjust to cope with heavier terrain. This review also mentions the stability: in that the bike is quite stable at speed on relatively smooth trails and gives good confidence on descents and the value for money which is only average, as there are a lot of other bikes with somewhat better specifications at the same sort of price. This review includes a rating of 3.0/5.

International MTB Magazine has a review from 2015 (covering the 950 model) and detailing the value, characterised by a very balanced group of components which all did their job well. There are also good comments about the versatility: as it has been designed for all day use on varying terrain for the entry level mountain-biker and the stability holding its momentum and control well, although some suspension adjustments are advisable for best performance.


Scott Genius LT

Scott Genius LT
Reviews include Freehub Magazine from 2014 describing the versatility, as this bike can be used successfully as an all-mountain, trail or enduro machine. It also comments on the learning curve: is pretty gentle with easy adjustments that can be made on the trail, plus the components that all match each other in quality and performance, so there is no obvious weakness and plenty of strengths. This site rates this bike at 5.0/5.

Mountain Bike Rider has a review from June 2015 (covering the 710 model) and detailing the travel, is designed to cope with very rough terrain and it does that really well. There are also good comments about the geometry: which also gives stability on the steepest unpreditable gradients and the weight which for the price was somewhat disappointing in using quite a bit of energy to get the bike up to speed.


Scott Genius Tuned

Scott Genius Tuned
Mountain Bike Rider from 2016 for the Scott Genius Tuned, (covers the 700 Plus model) and comments on the traction, which is exceptional especially in damp slippery trail conditions. Also the Scott Genius Tuned review mentions the easy rolling: despite having larger than normal tyres and in addition, the fun ride on account of its manoeuvrablity.

Reviews include Bike Radar from Jan 2016 (covering the 700 Plus model) and describing the climbing traction, that is extremely high. It also comments on the adaptable suspension: being easy to change between suspension modes, plus the confident ride as the bike is very surefooted over all sorts of difficult terrain. This site rates this bike at 4.0/5.
