Scott
Genius
The Scott Genius has been around a while and was the first bike to introduce Scott's innovative Twinloc system, which allows riders to adjust their suspension fork and shock damping on-the-fly with the press of a lever. This clever lockout lever is then capable of transforming this trail-slaying full suspension mountain bike into an agile climbing platform which can help save valuable energy that can be used for the next descent. The latest iteration sees this proven trail bike follow in the steps of its XC sibling, the Spark, and houses the rear shock completely within the frame of the bike. Away from dirt and grime, this leaves the shock to perform at an optimal level at all times, no matter how bad the weather gets. The Scott Genius is now also available in two different styles; the Genius and Genius ST. Both of these bikes use the same frame, but the Genius ST, or "Super Trail", comes with a slacker head angle as standard and a piggy back shock to cope with the more rowdy descents.
