Expirience with the Scott GENIUS 920

Ludwig Döhl The Genius has always been one of the most innovative bikes on the market. This claim defends Scott also with the latest Genius generation. The internal rear shock and the hidden cables not only characterize the design, but also have konstruktive advantages. The patented design protects the damper from dirt and brings especially the attributes of lightweight construction and stiffness under one hat. The large bearings of the rear triangle also reduce the maintenance effort of the fully. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Scott, at 14,8 kg. Thus, the Scott Enduro is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 4499 Euro . If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Enduro of Scott. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. The sporty orientation of the GENIUS 920 can't be denied. The GENIUS 920 is superior on lung-searing climbs within the Enduros. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
