With 160mm of travel at either end, and 2.8in Schwalbe Nobby Nic rubber gripping the ground, the Genius LT Plus is a big-hitting aggressive bike – all that separates it from Scott’s enduro race bikes are the wider tyres.
The carbon frame helps keep weight in check to a reasonable 14.3kg and there are two geometry settings – low and high. The low setting gives a slack 65.8 degree head angle and a BB height of 345mm, offering predictable stability at speed, even if the 439mm reach isn’t super long and the 832mm standover is high.

Flipping the shock mount chip in the linkage shifts the BB height by 7mm and adjusts the head angle by half a degree
A quick change to the high setting raises the BB by 10mm and steepens it by half a degree. This is in addition to the fork/shock compression damping and rear travel adjust lever on the bar, which stiffens then limits rear travel to 100mm for climbing via the custom Fox Nude shock.
Quality spec list
On the frame there’s a smorgasbord of decent quality, standard trail bike fare including a SRAM GX drivetrain and 40mm wide Syncros rims in Boost hubs. The Syncros finishing kit performs well (although the Torx 25 stem bolts are a pain).
