Without doubt the best bike I have owned. Incredibly smooth to ride, with awsome gears. Suspension is so easy to get right and the lock out, front and rear, is the best you will find. Expensive, but what the $@*+. I have used it to comute as well as ride cross country and it does the jobs equally well. I intend to do a Lands End to John O Groats and hopefully a round the coast of Britain ride on it. Not quite the right bike for the job, but I'm absolutely convinced it will do fine.

Scott says
The Genius is a full suspension bike designed to handle any trail, any time. It s the ultimate trail bike suitable for marathons and multi-day stage races. Our IMP4 carbon technology makes the bike extremely lightweight and stiff, while the Equalizer2 shock allows the rider three separate travel settings that can be accessed via the handlebar mounted TwinLoc lever. The rider can choose from 150 mm of travel, 95 mm in the Traction Mode, or full lock out front and rear.
TwinLoc technology:
SCOTT s patented and unique TwinLoc lever allows the rider to keep both hands on the handlebars while selecting the desired travel settings or fully locking the suspension. Riders can switch between full travel with 150mm, Traction Mode with 95mm of rear travel, and complete lock out of both the fork and the Equalizer2 TC shock.
