Scott Genius 950

4.4

Best versatile trail bike for riders tackling diverse mountain terrain.

This is the ultimate workhorse for riders who prioritize trail versatility over gram-counting. The clever suspension lockout system makes climbing surprisingly efficient, though you’ll definitely feel the extra weight of the aluminum frame compared to higher-end carbon builds. It’s a rugged, no-nonsense machine built to handle everything the mountain throws your way.
