2016 Scott Genius 740: The Ultimate Trail Bike

Scott's Entry Level Genius Will Still Amaze You 

You'll be ready for the trial, no matter what it throws at you!


If you are looking for a bike that can handle tight, technical singletrack, steep climbs on fire roads, rocks and fast descents, look no further than the Scott Genius 740.

From the ground up, Scott has designed the Genius line of bikes to be the ultimate trail bike. The 740 offers the in-between 27.5" wheel size and boasts 150mm travel. The benefit of having 27.5" wheels (or 650b) is a decrease in rolling resistance and increased traction, without the added weight of the 29er.

On these 27.5" wheels Scott places a gorgeous hydroformed alloy 6061 frame in a matte grey and lime green paint scheme. The bike comes fully equipped with a custom FOX Nude shock and a FOX 32 Float Performance fork with three modes.



Scott's patented Twin Loc 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.





If needed, you can customize your bike's geometry by a shock mount chip in the linkage. By changing the shock mount chip - simply removing it and flipping it in either mounting position - you affect the bottom bracket height by 7mm, which also affects the head tube angle by 0.5 degrees.




Shimano fills out the drivetrain, with it's XT Shadow Rear Derailleur and Deore Front Derailleur. The brakeset is also by Shimano - SLX Disc Brakes. Sychros handles the handlebar and seat for a comfortable ride on your hands and rear end. Check out the specs:
