SCOTT Contessa Genius 920

The new SCOTT Contessa Genius 920 receives a bold new redesign that takes this trail bike up to the next level. Its ‘any trail, any time’ mantra is taken up a notch thanks to unique suspension features, cutting-edge design, and top-level geometry. This bike is crafted for riders who demand versatility and performance across a variety of trail conditions, providing both the capability and confidence needed for all your mountain adventures.

The base of the SCOTT Contessa Genius is its Integrated Suspension Technology, or a fancy name for hiding its rear suspension inside of the frame. You read that right: the shock is INSIDE the frame. To make it work, SCOTT has a built-in sag indicator to every Genius, found on the non-drive side of the bike’s rocker link. SCOTT says it gives the frame a lower center of gravity. Importantly, however, mounting the shock lower means the frame is stiffer around the bottom bracket without adding any extra weight. This innovative approach enhances both stability and responsiveness, making the bike incredibly agile on technical trails.

Want to access the shock? That is found through a downtube door that is available at the push of a button, also doubling as durable bottom bracket protection. This design ensures that maintenance is straightforward while protecting vital components from the elements and debris.

Each SCOTT Contessa Genius uses a three-position shock adjustment lever. Called TwinLoc, this lever is found on the handlebars and controls both the fork and shock simultaneously. This fundamentally changes the character of the bike: the wide-open setting is best for descending, while the middle ‘traction’ setting offers better pedal strike clearance, a more aggressive climbing position, and greater suspension efficiency. And of course, if you’re on a dirt road, you can place the suspension in a full lockout. The adaptability provided by TwinLoc allows riders to quickly adjust the bike’s performance to match varying trail conditions, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride.

Whether tackling steep climbs or navigating technical descents, the SCOTT Contessa Genius 920 is designed to deliver a superior riding experience. Its advanced features and thoughtful design make it a standout choice for trail enthusiasts seeking both performance and innovation.
