Genius Concept; Geometry Genius - Scott GENIUS Manual

GENIUS CONCEPT

Genius is the result of 2 years of research and development for the lightest mountain
bike frame set available on the market to be used for marathon, trail and long distance
riding, hitting the scale at below 2250 grams including the frame, Scott/DT Equalizer 2
shock.
Scott's focus was not only on lightweight but also on a durable 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 bikes (e.g. Scott Spark)
and the new generation of all mountain bikes (e.g. Scott Ransom).
Genius was designed for riders looking for a dual suspended marathon and tour/long
distance bike offering a maximum rear wheel travel of 150mm.
Scott does not see frame, rear shock and kinematics 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 Scott system, named TC (Traction Control) will allow you to reduce by remote
control the rear wheel travel from 150mm to 95mm including a more progressive
spring rate but still offering a supple break away.
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.
