Scott Genius 720 Plus Suspension MTB
The all NEW Genius 720 Plus makes that phrase ring even truer.
Adding plus sized wheels to what is already one of the most capable rigs on the market ups the level of traction, comfort, and most importantly fun hogging.
Sporting an Alloy frame, the 720 comes in at a lower price point. Rocks, roots and boosts beware, this bike is ready to rumble. While competitors have introduced the wider 3.0" tire width, Scott engineers found out that 2.80" is the optimum for Plus to guarantee best handling and to avoid the walking effect.
Based on Schwalbe's testing data, the size of the contact patch of a 2.80" tire (Nobby Nic) is increased by 21% compared to a 2.35" tire (Nobby Nic). Tested with standard tire pressure (1.7 bar/2.35" vs. 1.0 bar /2.80"), the test indicates significantly better traction for the Plus sizes.
Please note: Due to high demand, lead times on this model are slightly longer than usual. We expect to dispatch within about 5 working days.
