SCOTT Genius ST910 // Bike Review

The all-new Scott Genius incorporates the same bold, distinctly Swiss design as the Scott Spark 900 Tuned AXS we reviewed last year. The new bike tucks its rear shock, a trunnion-mounted Fox Float X Nude, entirely inside the frame for a package that’s both sleek and practical. Rest assured; this bike will turn heads at your local trailhead for the foreseeable future.
In addition to its svelte appearance, I found the Genius to be an exceptionally capable 150-millimeter trail bike. Climbing aboard the Genius felt balanced, a sensation I attributed to its 77.2-degree seat tube angle. This bike puts you in an excellent, modern climbing position by keeping the front end planted to the ground on even the steepest uphill maneuvers.

[@12345mtb]

You are literally the best bike review, a badass rider compared to many other KZbin channels out there,

[@freehubmag]

He's a talented dude!

[@prestond]

Couldn't are less about the bike. I'm just here for the sick riding

[@micheandmikey]

Love that you're giving a slight review on that Ohlins. I've recently thought about switching over from Fox Factory (because I just want to spend money I guess 😆) but I know their product is super nice. Great review, and man there's a lot of blow down up there!

[@DoctorDefiler]

Always love these reviews!

[@freehubmag]

Thanks!

[@JaggedTusk]

nice riding bro

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

The concept car look for a mountain bike. I always love your reviews even on a bike I would never own!

[@freehubmag]

Thanks!

[@codywitt2200]

How do you corner so fast with so much confidence?

[@freehubmag]

Practice, practice, practice! 😀

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo awesome beautiful bike ❤❤❤

[@freehubmag]

We agree!

[@aaronburela432]

On of the only things I don't like about this bike is the bar stem combo. Seems like stack would be limited. And if you get a new bar will it work on the stem?

[@nicholashines7686]

My only issue is for $7000 alloy rear triangle.......no. It I got full carbon I could live with everything else. Thanks for the commit on the Ohlins fork. I have been thinking about making that expensive jump and trying a complete ohlins suspension.

[@edlorenz1552]

I had full ohlins. It is a solid suspension, but not good in chatter. I also had to send my brand new shock back to Ohlins because the Hi speed and rebound didn't change when adjusted. Too expensive for what you get.

[@theGiver3]

​@@edlorenz1552 sounds very appropriate for a Scott

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

Can you give a reason why the rear end should be carbon? Choice of material is not an ideology. You use what fits the requirements best.

[@ervin7178]

@@obi-wankenobi9871 aluminum is for poors, he would be rightfully embarrassed if half his bike was not carbon

[@monzzi2923]

What mud guard are you using?

[@bimfred]

does someones rake the trail with a comb?

[@travis_reill_writes]

Are you able to run a different bar/stem on that bike, or is it a no-go because of the headset routing? I’m just not a fan of the integrated bar and stern look

[@bagger9353]

You can change it, but you need either a syncros stem or change the spacers and headset to a "normal" one and ride every bar/stem combo

[@spyder0716]

Can you do reviews on lower end bikes $4500 to $3000 range with pros and cons???

[@khema6085]

How do you compare it to the trail 429 enduro you reviewed couple months ago

[@johnsospencer]

Hey, they are a world apart. This Genius has quite a bit more forward climbing position for getting up steep climbs. The Pivot has way more anti squat in the rear suspension. The Genius has a longer feeling wheelbase with a slacked out headtube angle to make it much better for steeps over the 429. The 429 lends it's self better to calmer terrain and ripping fast corners - and jumping trail gaps.

[@patrik.clifford]

Whar do you think of it as a full on Enduro race bike? Is it burly enough? Say, compared to a Spec Enduro? Great riding by the way!

[@ross_rusher0243]

Would you consider putting an ohlins fork on your own personal bike?

[@johnsospencer]

Based on this experience I would love to give it a try!

[@TMaddison]

thats a great climb trail. where is this?

[@freehubmag]

Bellingham, WA!

[@Jacob99174]

Where TF are these trails??

[@freehubmag]

Bellingham, WA!

[@tb4326]

@@freehubmagCan you share the trail name? I’l have to hit that for my 50th as a present to me!

[@323johnnybravo]

I wish Scott and Trek wouldn’t be pushing these bar stem combos. I must be getting old because I’m opposed to these changes that are only for cosmetic reasons.

[@johnnnewmex]

Scott bikes ..for those that don't want to see their shock, stem, or cables but like lots of lockout remotes.

[@JAFO.]

*Hmmm, rated at 250lbs max rider weight - bummer for us 6' 5" 310lb riders. Guess it's got to be Ibis or Pivot for me.*

[@ssjj9584]

I love a pretty blingy stem 😢

[@mike_millard]

Just say no to internal headset routing

[@emilmaier2953]

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

[@Mr_RichardH]

What's squeaking???

[@codywitt2200]

Sounds like the electronic shifting?

[@quitemountainous2528]

Bikes look very nice, probably would change the bars to my preferred rise. Otherwise it is mint. Just FYI, as to your wording, no need to say "rear shock" the front shocks, as we all know, are called forks, so you can just say "shock"😀

[@tylerdesrosiers]

Lol, Shimano people here… I’ve always been able to slam gears under load… guys that’s a sram thing

[@theGiver3]

I had this model for a long time a couple years ago. I'ma just put in my two cents that Scott does not make good products. Of course, your experience may vary, but on my 930, only two levels above this one, I was constantly having to take my bike in for wheel truing and couldnt customize the shock because it's proprietary and dumb. The reviewer makes any bike look good, but Scott's price/quality ratio is basically yeti levels of disproportion for me. If you're less gravity oriented though it might work out. All I know is the abuse I put it through as a fairly novice rider was too much for the build quality.

[@jonathanwilliams9132]

Scott only makes the best race bikes in the world. Genius 930 comes with cheap wheels, you get what you pay more. Scotts are expensive, mostly due to their carbon layup on specific frames. Shocks can be changed, headsets as well. Just dont abuse your bikes and you will be fine! 🤣

[@dehumanizer21]

Can't wait to see more of your reviews but this bike is butt ugly.

[@MTBAdii]

Such an ugly looking bike that’s highly overpriced

[@boyuap]

looks boring fullsus bike..

[@ShaftShackDotCom]

What trail is this? Its somewhere on Galibrath mtn?
