have a 910 on order. considered going frame only to get it built earlier but decided to wait on it and have the fork that was made for it. hoping magura comes out with a 140 or 130 29er fork eventually.
parts i have waiting to go on it:
king hubs on arch ex rims
renthal fat bar/stem
sram x0 cranks with MRP 28t bling ring (dropping front der/shifter)
xtr rear der/shifter
magura mt8 brakes
could not be more psyched about it. could not be more bummed about having to wait ha.
Yea, If I get one I am going for the frame only and putting a Lefty on it.
I am concerned about the rear end stiffness. I have a friend who has the Spark and his rear end is super flexy as well as the one in the shop. It doesn't look like the Genius' rear end is much different than the Spark's.
It is about the only long travel 29er bike available without the stupid "new school" geometry....this and the Tallboy LT.....but I like the Genius numbers better.
Post up your new ride when it gets here :thumbsup:
It was the top of the line ridden by a pro rider so it was full carbon with 142x12.
I can tell the difference between wheel and frame flex which is why I didn't mention that.
Edit: and I should add that he lost yesterday's race by less than a minute on an awesome course. He may have won with a stiffer chassis. For me it makes a big difference - esp. in the rough sections which this course had it's share.
im sorry but this is kinda comical... as if the rear stays were at fault for his loss... if you can narrow it down to that one variable then you are way better of an analyst then this world has ever seen...
Just put in an order for a 910 Genius. Looks like end of December. I was hoping it was going to be earlier, but in reality it looks like after the New Year.
Depends on the model, but for the most part New Years looks to be the date. However the frameset is supposed to be available in 2 days. One of the guys at my shop has a frame on order so we'll see.
I'm curious to know if Scott expected the demand for these 2 bikes. I would assume they did. I heard at interbike they where 2 hottest bikes at the demo.
I really wouldn't be surpirsed if we didn't see our bikes until February
Just layed my eyes on the new Genius 700 SL ( only one in the country - Canada ) what an amazing looking bike & light weight. The way Scott designed the upper link & carbon swingarm so compact & streamline looks so awesome.
The Hub in Brevard, NC had a 700 in stock when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Not sure which model it was - I think the price was just north of $4K.
In the next month the carbon models will start trickling in.My estimated date if delivery for my 910 is early February. I really doubt it will be earlier.

Genius 700/710 Sizing??
5'11" w/ 33" inseam - what does the collective think LG or MD? A local shop has 1 each coming in that are still not sold, ready to plop down a deposit but they don't have any I can swing a leg over. Mostly will be used for Epic XC rides. I'm leaning towards the LG but curious if anyone my size has ridden both sizes and your thoughts
TIA
For a Scott Genius 910
Ordered @ LBS October 19, 2012
Nova Scotia, Canada
Hurts even more, as my son departed with my Trek EX8 @ Xmas, and my wife's bike (updated with dropper, bash guard and bigger cassette) just got back from LBS!
Forum reading is not a substitute for trail riding!
Was told it shipped Monday. Hoping to see it this week but I'm gone this weekend so I'm sure it will arrive as soon as my flight leaves.
