Genius ST 900 Tuned

For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. The score is largely shaped by a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Together, these choices shape rolling resistance and how lively the bike feels.

Climb score: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 16.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~88% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 13.3 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

For suspension control, it lands at 8/10. Category: “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because bar height comes out ~35 mm below the saddle (very small), with about 642 mm of forward reach - a extreme stretch. Plan for roughly 26 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

In Mountain / Enduro, That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Plus, The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals.

This scores 8.3/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. Within Enduro, Balanced basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels plush. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 34% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 33% of listings). Quick reference: €8.400 listed versus about €6.257 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
