Light becomes lighter - Project Genius

Lightweight fetishist Sebastian Roth is known for constructing unreal bicycles with incredibly low overall weights. He is credited with several creations, including a 3883 gram (8.56 lbs) Addict. Sebastian was anxious to start his new trail bike tuning project, a Scott Genius. The starting point was a brand new IMP4 carbon Genius LTD frame equipped with the Equalizer2 TC shock providing 150mm travel and TC (Traction Control) at an already amazingly light 2250 grams (4.96 lbs).



After weeks of countless working hours, a new Genius was born from his workshop in the colors black and red. A brilliant and noble looking bicycle, equipped with the finest components, this unique creation will satisfy any light weight fanatic. This S.R. version Genius weighs just 8928 grams (19.68 lbs). So for all the “weight weenies” out there who want to build a lightweight trail bike, the Genius is a perfect base to start with.
