'13 Scott

If you're looking to redefine the term epic, then you'll need a bike like Scott's Genius 740. This rig owns the trail, whether it's going up or down. Its lightweight, rugged aluminum frame features a tapered head tube for nimble handling, while nimble, fast-rolling 650B wheels carry speed and deliver confidence over all terrain. To help you conquer the mountains, the Genius 740 boasts three different suspension modes: locked out for cruising hardpack, 100mm of travel for unreal traction going up, and 150mm so you can let it rip on the descents. With Fox's plush Float CTD fork up front and DT Swiss’ M3 shock, you'll gracefully fly through the chunder. Other goodies on this trail machine include a smooth-shifting Shimano drivetrain, tough Syncros components, and Shimano disc brakes for premium all-weather stopping power.
