Expirience with the Scott Genius 940

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 940 . This means that even long tours remain doable despite a lot of spring travel. With a flat 65 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 3299 Euro Scott delivers an extremely good suspension. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Scott puts a lot of trust in its products.
