2011 Scott Genius LT
Scott gives its Genius bike a new model for 2011, the Genius LT. This is a bike designed for the more aggressive rider who loves challenging climbs.
The Genius LT has a one-piece carbon mainframe and aluminum rear triangle. Both are connected with oversized pivot bearings which makes the frame stiffer and more durable. It also has a tapered headtube which is wider at the bottom for more control.
The rear shock has a dual mount set-up so you can drop the rear end to get a slacker steering angle. This is great when you spend 35% of the time going uphill.
The handlebar has the Twin-Loc remote which can control the fork and rear shock. If you choose the fully open mode, you get 7 inches of travel. As for the traction mode, you’ll have 4.3 inches of travel.
Finally, the 2011 Scott Genius LT features a 3-cylinder rear shock called the Equalizer 3. What it does is it acts as two shocks in one. It weighs about 28lbs with MSRP of $6799.
Awesome bike. I have been scouring planet Earth for the answer to this question. How in the world is Cannondale getting away with stealing this bike and calling it the Jekyll? It’s an exact copy, right down to the pull shock that they “co designed” with Fox. It bothers me so much that they’re calling it their revolutionary, innovative idea when it’s clearly just a Scott Genius. Can someone answer that for me?
Thanks,
