GENIUS CONCEPT
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.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable and stiff frame with
an innovative suspension technology in combination with an optimized kinematics of
the rear swingarm.
The combination of an optimized kinematics with an extraordinary suspension
technology closes the gap between superlight dual suspension race bikes (e.g. SCOTT
Spark) and the new generation of all-mountain bikes (e.g. SCOTT Genius LT).
Genius was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended trail and marathon bike
offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 150mm (27.5”)/130mm (29”).
SCOTT does not see frame and rear shock as single components which are assembled
together on a bike, but as a concept with all these components working together and
offering an outrageous function by matching perfectly.
The Genius Concept is based on a multi-pivot technology.
The damping performance was improved in comparison to the already famous
“old” Genius, and with reworking also the kinematics we were able to reach a better
progression in the end of the stroke/travel of the swingarm.
The SCOTT system, using the Nude shock, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you
to reduce by remote control the rear wheel travel from 150 (27.5”)/130 (29”)mm to 100
(27.5”)/90(29”)mm including a more progressive spring rate but still offering a supple
break away. In addition the SAG is reduced and the geometry gets steeper.
Some models of Genius use also the FOX CTD shock which offers instead of the
Traction Mode a Platform (Ride Mode) in between Lock-out Mode and Descent Mode
No power will be lost and an optimum power transfer is guaranteed as the swingarm,
in contrary to locked or automatic-locking systems, can follow the trail surface and will
offer perfect traction and higher speed while standing on the pedals.
