The build specs of the SCOTT E-Genius 2018

The E-Genius 2018 drops in five build specs, including a women’s-specific Contessa and four unisex models. One is built around the former frame and a Bosch motor. The Tuned model sports a covet-worthy FOX 36 fork, while the rest are kitted out with upwards of an E-MTB-optimised FOX 34. The entry-level Genis 720/920 is the only model that you can get directly from retailers in both wheel sizes. The rest come as stock with 27.5″ wheels, although this can be changed.
