GENIUS 20

The Genius is a full suspension bike designed to handle any trail, any time. It’s the ultimate trail bike suitable for super D’s, marathons and multi-day stage races. Our IMP4 carbon technology makes the bike extremely lightweight and stiff, while the Equalizer 2 shock allows the rider three separate travel settings that can be accessed via a handlebar mounted TWINLOC lever. The rider can choose from 150 mm of travel, 95 mm of travel in the Traction mode, or full lock out front and rear.

    Twinloc Lever System

    Our patented TwinLoc technology now offers simultaneous control of rear shock travel and fork lockout. The open position allows full travel, front and rear. One click switches the rear shock to Traction mode, while the fork remains fully active. Click again and rear shock and fork lock at the same time. No other bike in the world offers this user friendly system.

    Equalizer 2 TC Shock

    A perfect mix of lightweight and progressive but supple suspension action
    • All travel 150 mm
    • Traction mode 95 mm
    • Lock out

    The Equalizer2 TC features positive and negative adjustable air chambers, rebound adjustment and of course, Traction Control features. Because the shock is mounted vertically, it can react more efficiently than an angle-mounted shock.

    IAP Isolated Axial Pivot

    The Genius also uses a revolutionary Isolated Axial Pivot (IAP) that allows for unlimited seatpost adjustment and is very lightweight. Other designs with pivots on the seat tube have a limited range of seat adjustment because the pivot axle would normally stop the seatpost from sliding in any further. With IAP, the pivots are isolated from each other and either side of the seat tube, and there is no through-pivot axle, so the weight normally associated with a pivot of that size is reduced.

    SCDS SCOTT Carbon Dropout System

    SCDS is a carbon fiber dropout with a replaceable alloy hanger. A lightweight, precise and durable alloy disc brake mount improves heat distribution while braking. Carbon chainstays with integrated carbon dropout shave additional grams from the complete bike.

    Direct Seal Cable Routing

    All cable housings are protected from the elements. Unique routing through the bottom bracket forging improves shifting due to fewer bends.

    IMP4 - Integrated Molding Process

    Our engineers have developed IMP4™, the newest technology applied to carbon production. The toptube, headtube, seat tube and down tube are produced in a single step using a top-secret process.
    Our proprietary process allows for lighter construction by removing 11% of the material from the headtube intersection while increasing strength by utilizing high modulus stressed fibers for more precise fiber placement in critical areas. To compliment the IMP™ process, our frames benefit from our Naked External Tubeset™ which eliminates the cosmetic carbon layer to shave precious grams.
