The Scott Genius started life in 2003 when Thomas Frischknecht rode it to victory at the Marathon XC World Champs. Since then it's evolution has continued towards becoming a versatile trail bike with a focus on pedaling efficiency! Here's Neil's first ride of the brand new 2018 Scott Genius.

The re-design of the Scott Spark for 2017 got the rumour mill turning, prompting talk of a similarly redesigned platform for the Genius. Well here it is! An all new 150mm trail bike that can take 27.5 and 29 wheels with just the flip of a shock link! The Fox Nude shock coupled with the Twin-lock lever allows the bike to switch between 150mm, 110mm and full lock to adapt to any trail. Check out Neil's first impressions in the video.
