Scott believes that the carbon-framed Genius LT 10 will reverse that prejudice, and after spending some quality time on the 30-pound, 185-millimeter-travel machine, we might agree. Reduced to its performance and capabilities, the Genius LT 10 is a nimble-feeling, very capable descender with the potential to meet or exceed the climbing performance of anything in the 180-millimeter-travel club.There is, however, nothing reductionist about Scotts showcase all-mountain machine. With adjustable geometry and handlebar-remote functions that offer three shock modes; a simultaneous lockout feature for its fork and shock; and a dropper seatpost button, this is not the blunt instrument of a bike-park skidder. Rather, the Genius LT 10 is a precision tool for the experienced all-mountain rider who wants to squeeze every meter of shred from a trail system. Scotts all-mountain over achiever retails for about $6499 USD. www.scottsports.com Set Scott's 185-millimeter-travel Genius LT 10 as plush as your downhill sled and, with the help of a few buttons and levers, it will efficiently scratch its way up a long section of switchbacks that would challenge many trailbikes.. Genius LT 10 ConstructionOne may ask why Scott, the one brand that has banked its reputation on uber-tech carbon fiber frames, would make its premier long-travel AM chassis half in carbon and half in aluminum? In he-man terms; Scott used carbon fiber to build the front section of the LT 10 because it is the strongest and lightest way to make a frame. A welded-aluminum structure is the most efficient way to weave a rear triangle around tires, chainrings and spinning crank-arms and the perfect material to house bearings and to support brake calipers. The Genius LT 10 optimizes both materials to produce a chassis with a published weight of 2.6 kilos (5.72 pounds), including its 535-gram Equalizer shock a figure that pencils out against the complete bikes verified weight of 30.35 pounds without pedals (13.795 kilos). In theory, the Genius carbon front section is protected by its wide-stance fork and rear suspension, so the chassis should survive the relentless beating and scraping that an aggressively ridden AM/trailbike must endure.
