Genius 940

This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. Versus the most speed-focused options, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground. So overall, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality.

Uphill performance score: 8.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 17.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~60% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 15.8 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. It feels this way because there's about 35 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 642 mm of forward stretch to the bar (extreme). Expect a lean angle around 26 degrees.

In Mountain / Enduro, So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time, and The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 8.2/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. It’s tagged Firm for Enduro — it feels highly forgiving overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks like strong value, even if it’s not the absolute cheapest listing. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes.
