27.5 WHEELS
When discussing the pros and cons of the big wheeled bikes, shorter riders find themselves in an ambivalent situation. They want to benefit from the 29” wheels, but suffer from the negative effects when fit is considered. Additionally, the increase in rotational weight challenges many lower watt producing riders, so the performance gains are negated when the rider cannot accelerate the wheel system as quickly. The solution for many riders is 27.5”.
• Increased Roll-Over
• Increased Momentum
• Increased Traction
• Less rotational weight than 29”
• More Agile than 29”
• More suspension travel options
• Short chain stays
• Balanced Stability and Performance
• Great balance of Agility and Momentum
SHIMANO E-8000 SERIES BATTERY
To meet MTB specific needs, the E-8000 series was designed with all day performance in mind. The capacity of the Ion-Lithium battery has been increased to 500WH and can now be recharged in only 5 hours. The new design features a lower profile specifically for mountain bikes which improves both impact and vibration resistance.
The battery pack offers:
-
36V of nominal voltage
-
Durability of more than 1000 cycles
-
Removable battery
SHIMANO E-8000 SERIES DISPLAY AND ASSIST SWITCH
The new color display comes in a compact size and is therefore nicely integrated on the handlebar. While the display features full connectivity with Shimano Di2 components it also allows for individual settings for the information shown. The switch has been redesigned specifically for mountain bikes. Thanks to the ergonomic design improvements, the switch is now better integrated and offers a similar feel to a gear shifter.
SHIMANO E-8000 SERIES DRIVE UNIT
The E-8000 series drive unit has been specifically redesigned for mountain biking needs. The compact design of the drive unit allows for shorter chain stays and more tire clearance. These features, together with the light weight of the battery pack (below 3.2kg) and a new stiff and lightweight BB axle with Hollowtech-II technology (Q-factor 177mm), improve handling and ride feel substantially.

The drive unit achieves a maximum power output of 70Nm and 250W
GENIUS TRAIL GEOMETRY
The Genius has always been a bike designed to go up as well as it went down, and vice a versa. For 2018, Scott wanted to re-emphasize this point. They designed the Genius specifically in search of balance. Compared to the previous iteration, this one is slacker, has longer reach, shorter chainstays and a steeper seat angle. Scott really wanted geometry figures that would balance out the long front end for more stable descending. What they've ended up with is a bike that climbs like a bat out of hell and gets you down the mountain faster than you can say "dropping!" After years of testing different options, these numbers are a result of taking everything we want out of a bike for the trails we ride, and building it.
SCOTT E-MTB INTEGRATED DESIGN
Integration is a key factor on E-bikes; especially on E- MTB bikes. Therefore, SCOTT's engineering team has developed unique integrated solutions to improve the design of the bike but as well as its efficiency. Regardless of the drive system mounted on the bike, the integrated design improves the balance of the bike and its durability, this also allows for the option of a bottle cage mount.
