The Scott Genius ST is one of the most unique looking bikes on the market, but does its performance match its looks?

We put the new Scott Genius to the test over a few month period, to figure out how well it performs and how to set it up the best, and now we're ready to share how we got on and some tips and tricks to get the most out of it in this video.

THE LAB
The Scott Genius has been the quintessential all mountain bike for quite some time now, sitting in that zone that unites the pedal-friendly trail bikes and rugged enduro bikes. With some spec and setup customization, Scott has always let the user choose what they want their Genius to be. The new Genius and Genius ST have followed suit, with Scott even going so far as to prepare each flavor of Genius – trail or light enduro – for the consumer, with the addition of the ST (super trail) models.

Frame | Regardless of the Scott Genius model you choose, you’ll receive a 150mm travel frame paired to a 160mm fork, and two 29” wheels. The frame is shared between the two versions, with Scott’s Integrated Suspension Technology (IST) that has the shock fully concealed within the frame. Though it may be hard to envisage what is happening as the bike is compressed, the suspension system is the common Horst Link design, with an internal rocker connected to the external upper link with a splined system, which drives the shock inside. Scott is not afraid to admit that a key benefit of their IST is its unique look, but it also carries performance benefits in the name of the protection of the shock from the elements; a lower center of gravity, and increased stiffness around the shock and bottom bracket. Shock access is made easy thanks to smart positioning of the adjustment dials, and a quick release hatch on the downtube.
