Expirience with the Scott GENIUS 940

Ludwig Döhl In the cheapest version of the new Genius you have to do without not only the carbon frame, but also on some suspension travel. Unlike the more expensive models, the GENIUS 940 comes only with 160 mm suspension travel. The Genius typical features remain nevertheless. 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 unites the attributes of lightweight construction and stiffness. The large bearings of the rear triangle also reduce the maintenance effort of the fully. With a 63,9 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The seating position of the on moderate runs moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
