The fact that Scott even wins the range ranking despite these tyres surprises even the specialists. The long geometry, the slack angles and the suspension also make the bike a top scorer downhill. It conveys a high degree of safety and impresses with its stoic smoothness. The motto is to aim for the line and keep going. However, there is one thing the E-Genius is not: manoeuvrable. Bends require a lot of pressure, slow, technical passages become a feat of strength.
ConclusionThe test winner in terms of points is particularly suitable for touring riders and cruisers for whom top climbing characteristics and downhill stability are important.
