SET-UP OF OTHER SHOCK MODELS
SCOTT strongly recommends using only the FOX Nude (FOX CTD shock) with the
Genius bike, as we designed both parts for a perfect matching combination with a
linear suspension rate.
Also on those shock models the SAG should be 14/12.5mm.
Other Shock Models on Genius
If you want to use a different rear shock model than the one originally on the bike,
please make sure that the shock will not in any position hit the frame and cause a
damage to the frame.
Please follow the instruction below:
- Please make sure that the rear shock or its accessory parts do not touch the frame
when mounting or suspending.
- For doing so release the air/remove the coil, install the shock and compress the
shock completely.
- If the shock touches the frame while doing so, do not use this shock in order to
avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock.
HEADSET OPTIONS
Genius features a tapered headset and fork
steerer system to match with semi-integrated
headsets of the “50-61”mm range with ID of
Headtube of 44.0mm on top and 54.9mm on

BOTTOM BRACKET (BB) ON GENIUS

This matches to several bearing and crankset models of Shimano, SRAM, FSA
and others.
Please note that you do not need anymore a spacer on the right side of the
bearing cup between frame housing and bearing cup.
