Scott Genius: it took an open mind, but

All the details about the Scott Genius bikes are here: https://jenson.sjv.io/ScottGeniusLineJKW Anything purchased from that link will help support my channel- thanks in advance! I enjoyed riding the Genius! The shock has two positions- though the Scott website claims in has three. One setting is a shorter travel, more firm option, and the other is a longer travel, more plush option. I generally left it in the longer travel option. The stock Syncros wheels ride OK, but they would be the first thing I would upgrade. Other bikes I’ve been on lately: https://jenson.sjv.io/GTSensorJKW and https://jenson.sjv.io/IbisRipmoJKW Another bike that’s slightly bigger, but an incredible deal right now- is the last generation Pivot Firebird: https://jenson.sjv.io/PivotFirebirdJKW This is more travel (170/165), but a very stiff frame, and some solid all-around geo. It’s perhaps the most “trail bike” of all the enduro bikes I’ve ridden. Highly recommended!
