Out on the trail, the immediate Genius effect is an injection of massive confidence into your riding. Those broad frame tubes feel reassuringly solid and the pull shock opens easily into its sag point at the recommended pressures. The resulting angles are perfect for every technical trail situation. Right from the first outing we were lofting the front off drops, grinding the pedals through corners and smearing the back end through sweepers and switchbacks.

The handlebar remote lets you lock out the unique DT Swiss Equalizer 2 shock or halve the travel for a steeper, stiffer feel that’s perfect for climbs or road sections. The super sloped top tube naturally creates the perfect ‘long top tube at full pedal height, short and front biased with saddle dropped’ rider position too.
