Expirience with the Scott Genius 920

Ludwig Döhl The Genius platform is no longer the newest all-mountain platform on the market, but it's still one of the best for sure. The Scott-typical Twin-Loc lever for locking the chassis from the handlebars has always been one of the strongest arguments for the Genius 920 . This means that even long tours remain doable despite a lot of spring travel. With 14,2 kg weight for the complete bike, the All Mountain of Scott joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 4500 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. With a 65 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Scott Genius 920 leaves the remaining All Mountains in the dust. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
