A do-it-all trail mountain bike with suspension that changes travel for climbing or descending, plus gorgeous looks. What's not to like?
The system’s performance is awesome, but it does mean a plethora of levers and cables on the left, one of them being for the dropper post, and potential interference with your thumb.
The Genius comes in two versions, both with the same travel, but different remote lever/shock functions. The standard version gets a remote that works both the rear shock/travel setting and controls the fork’s compression damping. Put it in the middle “Climb” mode and it’s efficient enough for bobble-free standing, sprinting, and grinding. We had long, steep climbs on loose, rocky, ancient mountain roads, paths, and trails, and it always felt appropriately efficient while still soaking up enough bumps.Which is similar to many climbs throughout the Alps, but also Utah and North Carolina, among others.
The frame is plenty stiff, and the Hixon integrated bar/stem is a great cockpit piece that’s both light and tight. Combined with Syncros’ carbon-rimmed wheels, the Genius 900 ST Tuned model I rode inspired a lot of confidence, even when dropping into blind corners and rocky sections with a slidy film of mountain moon dust over top to keep it interesting.
