@@Ashton_Shields_POV I went for a M

@@lewiscb9235 how tall are you?

@@Ashton_Shields_POV 5.9/5.10 norco recommends a L but they are big bikes

@@levro7367 yeah unfortunately bikes ain’t cheap no more 🤣 but then again a new top spec 2 stroke wouldn’t be cheap either 😆

You’ll love these they are bomb proof!

Company in uk built them called handsonwheels

Good choice pal it’s the perfect wheel set 🔥

Thanks 😊

Will do 👍🏻 it was a cracking bike but since got a pivot firebird but can’t ride as I’m injured 🤦‍♂️😂

It was a brilliant colour definitely nicer than the newer 960. I do miss this bike 😩

It’s not attached as such but yes Scott send a little shim it’s pretty simple so yeah you can change the grips :)

I got the magura from my local bike store who are a magura dealer :)

I can imagine the fox makes a good difference. Yeah you’ve spent a lot but Tbf as you said 2000kms and riding it hard that will take it toll on any bike. On reflection this was a good capable bike few cheap parts though. I have since sold it and being Covid crazy bike prices in uk I managed to get what I paid for the bike new 😊 I now have an enduro bike transition patrol which is twice the money and much better built tbh.

From here www.rockguardz.com/

Yeah I loved it bud great bit of kit it’s now sold :(

Nope I stayed 29 Inch wheel obviously there is the option to go a 27.5 if you wanted. It would change things a little but the bikes built in mind to change your wheel size if you want. The chip near rear shock link would just need to be flipped which changes geo to run 27.5. In terms of tire width I went 2.5 on the rear and 2.4 up front. It works perfect and highly recommend it over the stock set up. You won’t lose grip and bike feels so much better doing doing it! Stock set up is far too wide imo. That’s from a company called rock guardz.

@@lewiscb9235 thank you very much yo. I always had a question about my bike but i couldnt find a solid answers like yours 👍🏿

@@lewiscb9235 and is tht website legitimate? Does it deliver to globally to any country??

@@seungminoh4765 they deliver globally yeah. They don’t do one exactly for 2021 or 2020 genius. I got the 2019 rock guard it fits but maybe a small bit sticky tape on few edges. It’s still snug enough for it not to come off without though www.rockguardz.com/delivery/

@@lewiscb9235 when i ride my bike i feel like i doesnt go as fast as the others. My friends have a 27.5 and accelerates so fast snd keep the speed. Before i get this bike i always kept up with my friends but now it kinda hard. It became harder somehow I definitely think it s bc of a wheel size. So you changed from 29x2.6 to 29x2.5 right? Is there any changes or is it better? And did u feel the same when you had a2.6 width

Mark Potts Scott actually add it to the bikes now to tidy it up 👍🏻

I did much prefer the sound of this with the resonated centre sec makes such a difference

Awesome vid interesting to see they only upgraded the derailleur. I must say my sx gave up so quick on mine the GX is 👌🏻 colour is good too :)

@@lewiscb9235 yeah I heard the SX derailleur is BS and has a lot of plastic parts causing it to fail rather quickly. I really like the your orange colour too, I was hoping to get a run out deal but non available, bikes are selling like hot cakes apparently

It’s a Large I’m 5.11

@@lewiscb9235 thanks for the reply. How is it so far?

Kurt Denzel Flores it’s awesome very capable bike was hard to get used to coming from a 27.5 does feel very boaty first! Not quite as nimble as I’d like but it does hit the tech stuff well 👍🏻

@@lewiscb9235okay! Thanks for the reply. I have one coming this week. Cant wait to ride it.

Would you consider swapping to 27.5 as you can or stick with 29?

Adrian Muresan It’s a L

@@lewiscb9235 Thanks for reply, what is your height? I am trying to see what would be the best size for my height 1.82 cm . How does it feel in short curves? Many thanks.

Adrian Muresan I’m 5.11 whatever that is In cm think it’s about same height and it seems right to me! Hardest thing for me was getting used to 29er does feel a bit boaty compared to 27.5 but now I’m used to it I like it certainly not as nimble as smaller wheel though

Kye Watson hey :) definitely get the GX derailleur and crank the SX shouldn’t even be put on a bike imo. In regards to the brakes the standard 2 pot shimano aren’t that bad at all but it all depends on how your using bike. As I said I mainly use it at my local dh BikePark the stock brakes couldn’t handle the heat etc on steep descends and got brake fade. The 4 pots are obviously much more powerful but the biggest improvement for me is how much more progressive they feel and the modulation plus you don’t lose braking performance. There’s just not comparison but if you feel brakes are fine atm then stick with them. Enjoy 😊

@@lewiscb9235 Awesome! Thanks, heaps! Can you please tell me or make a video on your freehub noise because I think mine has gotten quieter and I'm just trying to confirm if it has?

Kye Watson mine did too actually 🤔 Strangely since being in the shop having derailleur etc sorted its back to normal

@@lewiscb9235 So it went quite and now its loud again?

Kye Watson yep was after the shop removed load parts etc to do work and service bike 👍🏻

That’s one of the best things about this bike it does actually climb very well it’s super light and like riding a cloud.

😂😂 some parts are questionable as is any entry spec bike off the shelf! Nothing wrong a Scott genius thanks proven and tested by many 👍🏻

Rottors? Presume you mean rotors 😂 I mean even if I got the top spec I’d still be getting a set of magura upgrades on so brakes weren’t an issue for me as they will be upgraded! same with suspension! I purchased it to abuse and upgrade with own choice of parts. Can’t go wrong with a Scott genius 👍🏻

This guy obviously has a problem... Thanks for being proactive replying to comments and sharing your experience. 👍🏼

Actually came with it :) although it now has a carbon one which is on my update vid

Thanks mate i do miss it for sure 😩😂
