We understand that Scott have to make some sacrifices to keep the bike price down. But we felt the braking power was suffering, and we couldn’t reach the remote for the seat post and motor. We tried moving the brakes towards the center of the handlebars, to use just one finger. But when descending hard, especially in a wet environment, we want as many fingers as possible around the handlebar grips. It’s designed for braking with the index and middle finger. The Shimano MT420 is a four pot brake with decent power, but it’s got s a two finger brake lever. We were struggling a bit with the positioning of brakes. And we did actually use and appreciate it during our test. So we think it’s a good thing having bikes on the market with this option.

We pressed the wrong lever repeatedly during our time with the bike, but one will get used to it.ĭo you really need firming or locking out the suspension on an emtb? Well, why not? We know some people really like the Twinlock. The seat post lever sits on the right side, on top of the handlebars. On many other bikes, this is where you will find the dropper post lever. The lever sits under the handlebar at the left hand side. There is a lever on the handlebars for firming up or locking out the front and rear suspension simultaneously. Scott is known for their Twinlock suspension lock-out system. It looks like the other emtbs on the market in a lot of ways. The Scott Genius eRide is a good looking bike.
