You might not be a fan of having a suspension remote cluttering up your handlebars, but the new Genius ST trail bike will quickly change your mind. Outfitted with a Fox Float X shock and an onboard Ramp Adjust control, this bike is engineered to ensure you descend the mountain at top speed. The SCOTT Genius ST 910 is designed to excel whether you’re grinding up steep climbs or ripping down rugged descents, offering top-tier performance in both scenarios.
At the heart of the SCOTT Genius is its Integrated Suspension Technology, a sophisticated system that cleverly hides the rear suspension within the frame itself. Yes, you read that right—the shock is fully encased inside the frame. This innovative design doesn’t just look cool; it also offers tangible performance benefits. For instance, SCOTT has incorporated a built-in sag indicator on the non-drive side of the bike’s rocker link, allowing for precise setup. This integrated suspension layout lowers the bike’s center of gravity, making for a more stable and controlled ride. Additionally, mounting the shock lower in the frame increases stiffness around the bottom bracket area without adding any unnecessary weight.
Accessing the shock is a breeze thanks to a cleverly designed downtube door, which opens with the push of a button. This door doesn’t just provide easy access; it also doubles as durable bottom bracket protection, ensuring your bike remains in top condition even in rough terrain.
The Genius ST employs a Fox Float X shock that deviates from SCOTT’s traditional TwinLoc system, which typically controls both the fork and shock. Instead, the Genius ST features a lever that allows you to fine-tune how progressive or linear the shock feels. Leave the shock in ‘Descend’ mode for a plush, ground-hugging experience, perfect for technical trails. Switch to the middle ‘Ramp Control’ setting when tackling flow trails with compressions, berms, and drops—essentially like adding or removing a volume spacer with a simple flick of a switch. Additionally, this setup provides riders with unprecedented control, allowing them to adapt to various trail conditions with ease. The SCOTT Genius ST 910 is more than just a trail bike; it’s a game-changer designed to elevate your riding experience.
