Scott Genius MC-30 
Posted: 22/11/04
Updated: 17/05/07
'WHAT A BIKE, CLIMBS LIKE A MOUNTAIN GOAT.'
Strengths:
Scott Genius system, What a system. Rear shox is bril. 3 mode handlebar lever for lockout/traction/all travel. Easy. Keep your hands on the handlebar and ride up them hills with a flick of the switch.
I must say the traction mode works a dream. Grips like an F1 car going up hills with no bob.
Very good spec. Tyres working ok for me so far, Been in deep mud today. No probs. Oh` And a great looking bike to.
Weaknesses:
I didnt find the setting up that hard, Got a really good copy of the Scott technical data for the set up. And its worked great.
Seat i must replace, My backside hurts.
Other than that, NOTHING.
Overall:
This bike is so 0 rated.I don`t know why. Looks the part, Well built, Good spec, Fantastic Suspension, Climbs like a goat on steroids. Very fast downhill as well.
Price maybe a little over the odds at £2100. But i only paid £1600 for mine, Brand New. Go and get one before all the `04 models go. You can grab a real bargain.

''05 version same as '04: Good looking Light Comfortable Helmet'
Strengths:
The name, Can`t get much better can you.
So light to wear, Plenty of vents, i don`t feel hot or itchi at all. Plenty of adjustment to fit your head properly.
Weaknesses:
Some might say the price at around £69.99
Got mine for £53 inclusive of P&P
But what price tag would you put on your head...
Overall:
A well made light to wear Helmet, At a good price with plenty of ventelation.
Get one, Well worth the money.
I think the colour of the `05 models have changed a little to, Very smart.
