Not until May when I'm going to demo it but I'm excited (unless on demo I decide I don't like it). I drove it around the parking lot and liked it best out of the 3 I rode in the parking lot. I've never had a new-to-me nice bike. :happy:

Full suspension! Fancy!0

I have a full suspension now, it's just a 12 year old hand me down. In CO almost everyone has a full suspension.0

I've never ridden a Scott before, but it looks like a great bike! My first and only purchase for myself was a lower end Gary Fisher, but have since had the frame warranty replaced with a Trek and have upgraded the brakes and wheels. I love riding a bike with descent components and full suspension...makes my rides more enjoyable. Good luck!0

Go for it

Crap. For whatever reason it doesn't look like the 940 is available. This means I need to go down a model to the 950, slightly lower components, or up to the carbon 930. I don't really need carbon. Mmmmmm.....0

IF you are the type of person that thinks they will upgrade again to a Carbon bike in the future, just get the Carbon
I did the same thing, I am prone to always looking to upgrade and wasting money on going bigger/faster etc (on cars mainly), that when I started on my bike, I hard a standard chain stocked mountain bike (Halfords) - then decided to upgrade, thought about gong for a light alloy replacement, but in the end just went for the carbon model, and love it and not looking back, or looking to upgrade - so kind of save myself money in the long term.0 -
I've been riding a 12-year-old bike so no, I'm not the type to upgrade a lot.
But now I'm looking at the Scott Genius instead. Longer travel, heavier. Husband still thinks I should go with the Spark (shorter travel, light racing bike).0 -
Looks like a solid XC or race bike... though I'd wonder who is making the shock for scott...0

I think I've changed my mind and now want a Genius.

Now I have to decide between a 29" inch wheel and a 27.5" wheel. I'm going to go demo both.0 -

Are there many tire options for 27.5 at this point? Or at least a tire you know you like? That's was my biggest problem when I got my 29er.0 -
There are currently not a lot of tire options for 27.5". This is something I would take into consideration. I just bought a 29er and didn't even think about tire options until now that I am looking and there aren't a TON of options out there like there are with 26....0

Yeah, that's a good point. 29ers are becoming pretty common but I bet 27.5s aren't yet.0 -
