2024 Scott Genius 920

Frame & Suspension

• Constructed with a carbon HMF front triangle and alloy 6061 rear swingarm, the Genius 920 uses Scott’s Integrated Suspension Technology with the Virtual 4‑Link (VLK) kinematic design for efficient pedaling and controlled descent dynamics.

• The suspension is highly adaptable:

  • Fork: FOX 36 Float Rhythm Air Grip, 160 mm travel, 3‑mode adjust (Lockout/Traction/Descend), 15×110 mm thru‑axle.

  • Shock: FOX NUDE 5T EVOL Trunnion-mounted custom‑tuned by Scott, also featuring 3 modes and adjustable travel (150 mm, plus geometry adjustments).

    Scott’s TwinLoc remote on the handlebar lets you switch settings on the fly, altering suspension behavior and geometry for climbing and descents .

• Braking: Shimano Deore M6120 hydraulic disc brakes with four-piston calipers (203 mm front, 180 mm rear) provide strong, reliable stopping power.

3. Wheels & Tires

• Rolling on Syncros X‑30S rims (tubeless-ready) with Maxxis Dissector 2.6″ tires, offering great grip and puncture resistance .

4. Weight & Build

• The bike weighs approximately 14.8 kg (raw, without accessories) 

5. Ride Quality & Feedback

• Climbing: TwinLoc allows for efficient climbing by stiffening suspension and raising the geometry—improving pedaling efficiency while retaining small-bump comfort .

• Descending: With 160 mm fork travel and supple 29″ wheel setup, it handles rough terrain confidently—rolling over obstacles with minimal fuss.

• Overall Feel: Reviewers highlight its balance of light, agile pedaling and capability on the downhills. Feedback such as “light, agile, and the ability to change suspension on the fly” reflects its well-rounded versatility.

• Some feedback suggests minor improvements, like upgrading brake rotors or opting for a larger chainring for climbing flexibility
