With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)

Much better looking bikes from Scott…Still gopping paint schemes though
Quite like the paintjobs, look fresh to me. Can I fit a Hammerschmidt to a Genius LT though?
I know its a taster and they’re looking good – but when we getting a look at the rest of the range?
where was that preview held, looks like a cross between Dr Evils underground lair and Hugh Hefners gaff
Whats with that fireplace??
Did I say 170mm travel and 28 lbs? I meant 185mm travel and 28lbs. Yes it’ll take Hammerschmidt but only on the alloy versions. (The carbon frame’s press fit BB won’t let it)
as for the rest of the range, patience 🙂
I was gonna say, thought you may have been talking about the fork. It’s a custom lyric but can’t remember what travel, 170 or 180 or something? I reckon this bike will be a corker, proper versatile with the travel adjust. I want one to sit nicely between the xc bike and the dh rig.
899g? a fart would snap that surely?
*fat bloke wonders off muttering “slim fast” under his breath*
just seen pics of the 949 29er…….. looks awesome.
