2020 Scott Contessa Genius 920 M/700

The Contessa Genius was put on this earth to get you up mountains with ease and to get you back down them in a flash. The Contessa Genius 920 features our TwinLoc Suspension System to always optimize your ride. With a SRAM Eagle drivetrain and Syncros components, the Contessa Genius 920 is action ready. Any Trail. Any Time.

• ONE FRAME TWO WHEEL SIZES

With our mountain bikes, we try to achieve ultimate versatility. These specific models can switch from 27.5" to 29" wheels with nothing more than the flip of a chip. No need to change the fork, all you need to do is flip a shock mount chip, change your wheels and off you go. The flip chip allows us to maintain a similar BB height when switching from one wheel size to the other which is key to keeping handling similar for both wheel sizes. With 27.5" wheels, you can run either 2.5", 2.6" or 2.8" tires. For the 29er, anywhere from 2.4"-2.6" is good to go.

• GENIUS TRAIL GEOMETRY

The Genius has always been a bike designed to go up as well as it went down, and vice a versa. For 2018, we wanted to re-emphasize this point. We designed the Genius specifically in search of balance. Compared to the previous iteration, this one is slacker, has longer reach, shorter chainstays and a steeper seat angle. We really wanted geometry figures that would balance out the long front end for more stable descending. What we've ended up with is a bike that climbs like a bat out of hell and gets you down the mountain faster than you can say "dropping!" After years of testing different options, these numbers are a result of taking everything we want out of a bike for the trails we ride, and building it.
