Overview of components
Fork
The Contessa Genius 720 comes factory-installed with the Fox Performance Float 34 fork. This has a travel range of 150mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX NUDE T EVOL Trunnion Contessa, with a travel distance of 150mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Contessa Genius 720 model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Scott Contessa Genius 720 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Contessa Genius 720. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
