GENIUS CONCEPT GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GENIUS 650B/27.5” The new Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for one of the lightest trail/marathon bike frame set available on the market, hitting the scale at below 2300 grams (5 lbs) including the frame, FOX Nude /CTD shock and the unique TWINLOC remote control.
GEOMETRY/TECHNICAL DATA GENIUS 29” Travel TC SHOCK TECHNOLOGY/TWINLOC LEVERS The heart of the TC-System is the FOX Nude Shock made by FOX, offering three functions which make this system possible. 130/90/0mm Suspension Ratio 2.60 The TWINLOC XL remote control lever is the evolution of the already outstanding TRACLOC system of SCOTT. Piston stroke 50mm Shock length (Eye to Eye) 190mm Hardware Mainframe 22.2mm x 6mm Hardware Swingarm 22.2mm x 6mm Seatpost diameter 31.
You have 3 positions of the TWINLOC remote lever. 1. LOCK OUT MODE: the shock is locked; climbing on asphalt roads is now possible without any power loss. Simultaneous a blow-off-system prevents the shock being damaged in case the rider did not open the system while crossing obstacles. For the assembly of the remote control of the front fork lock-out 2 different cable rolls which are changeable are existing.
To change the rolls to match another fork brand pls follow the drawings below: ASSEMBLY OF THE REMOTE CABLE IMPORTANT: Please make sure the lockout of SRAM/RockShox or FOX fork is activated after transport correctly. Therefore please compress fork 5-10 times before following the manual on remote cable installation and adjustment. The lever should show on the downside of the cable roll the brand name of the fork you are going to use. Please do not try to use a RockShox roll with a FOX fork or vice versa. 1.

SET-UP OF REBOUND FOX NUDE OR FOX CTD SHOCK SAG The SAG should be 14mm (27.5/650B) respectively 12.5mm (29”) on the shock piston. To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below: 1. sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal 2. put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without bouncing the bike during this action “Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after absorbing an obstacle.
Please refer to the following instruction: Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it bounces. -- If it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good. -- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” clockwise -- If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow. Turn the knob 1-2 “clicks” counter clockwise.
