Hi,

My wife is looking for a new full sus bike.

Mostly Scottish trail centres and natural trails.

I have found a brand new 2025 version of this bike for £2k.

Are there any other bikes we should be considering?  It seems really good value.

Any pro's / cons with this bike?

Thanks

Craig

I have the Genius 930(£2k too). Similar, but SRAM DB8 brakes.

Neatly presented, but through headset cable routing. Mine had ultralight cable outers, and they burst on a bend on the dropper cable on 2nd ride. Needed to remove the shock to change the cable, needed to remove the crank to remove the shock. Needed a t30 bit to remove the shock and reinstall to 10nm. Luckily managed to mostly pull through a new cable using the old one as a draw, but required headset dismantling, crank and shock off. The set up means that this is likely required to remove the dropper too. Pain in the neck, but manageable.

Bike rides OK, but I haven't got it dialled in yet suspension wize. I suspect the forks need an oil bath top up from new.

Looks like an ebike with the bulk around the BB.
