Bicicleta SCOTT Contessa Genius 910

Our suspension kinematic brings perfect balance and control to the platform. Using our Virtual Four Link design, we have honed our suspension feel, pedaling and braking response to work with maximum efficiency and in harmony with our TwinLoc Suspension System. Our kinematic suspension curve gives supple small bump sensitivity and therefore exceptional traction characteristics, perfect support in the mid-stroke and a controlled deep stroke for predictable and comfortable bottom outs. Specific pivot placements ensures efficient pedaling that drives the bike forwards like a startled greyhound and neutral braking that strikes a perfect balance between rider comfort and control, chassis stability and rear wheel traction. From the XC racer, to the downhill enthusiast, the kinematic brings improvements and advantages in all areas and gives a solid fundamental basis for a bike for all riders and all conditions. 

Com a selecção adequada de materiais, oitenta porcento do trabalho para criar um quadro está feito. Mas os restantes vinte porcento requerem a maioria do nosso esforço. Por esta razão, após a escolha das fibras de carbono mais avançadas do mercado, utilizamos ferramentas específicas, como software FEA(finite element analysis) de forma a mapear com precisão a direção e colocação de cada camada de fibra de carbono.

Com o software FEA, podemos simular a aplicação de diferentes forças num modelo virtual do quadro e ajustar a construção de forma a obter o resultado desejado. O software FEA permite-nos criar protótipos virtuais completos, incorporando todos os fenómenos físicos conhecidos que existem no mundo real.

Com a nossa tecnologia EvoLap, conseguimos modelar o quadro de forma a optimizar a área superficial, simular estruturas de tubos com diferentes orientações de fibras, observar os resultados de diferentes configurações e testar a distribuição de stress nas diferentes áreas do quadro. Graças a este extenso trabalho de modelação em computador, Nós’ optimizámos todas as camadas de carbono no nosso quadro. Quando as várias partes são fundidas nos primeiros protótipos, o resultado é um quadro super leve e compacto sem sacrificar a rigidez, comforto e resistência ao impacto. Toda a gama beneficia da nossa Tecnologia EvoLap.

With our mountain bikes, we try to achieve ultimate versatility. These specific models can switch from 27.5" to 29" or from 24" to 26" wheels with nothing more than the flip of a chip. No need to change the fork, all you need to do is flip a shock mount chip, change your wheels and off you go. The flip chip allows us to maintain a similar BB height when switching from one wheel size to the other which is key to keeping handling similar for both wheel sizes. 

The Genius has always been a bike designed to go up as well as it went down, and vice a versa. We 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. We really wanted geometry figures that would balance out the long front end for more stable descending. What we'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.
