Overview
About this bike
Scott's spry Genius 740 rips trails with a robust aluminum frame that can take anything the trail serves up. For the descents, its tapered head tube and IDS SL rear axle work beautifully with Fox’s 150mm 34 Float fork and EVOL shock for stiffness and devouring the hits. Adjusting the suspension's travel for optimal shredding is effortless with Scott’s TwinLoc remote. The Syncros 27.5-inch wheels offer superb acceleration and maneuverability, while still gaining the benefits of big-wheeled efficiency. This trail all-star also features a precision SRAM GX/Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, powerful Shimano hydraulic discs for maximum braking control, and a Syncros dropper post for when you need to get the saddle out of the way and get your shred on.
