Inappropriate

The Shimano BR-MT420 brakes and two-finger levers may offer good ergonomics and power for a touring bike. However, they’re completely inappropriate for an aggressive eMTB like the SCOTT Genius eRide.

Everyday practicality

There’s a mounting point for a stand on the chainstay and the frame comes pre-wired to install a set of lights.

Adequate

SCOTT have specced 2.6” tires with Schwalbe’s Apex casing which is perfectly suited for the bike’s intended use regarding grip and puncture protection. Only very heavy or aggressive riders will need a more robust tire on the rear.
