From 2018 to 2019, Scott changed the fork on Genius 900 Tuned from 36 Fox to 34 e-Fox model. Apparently, the stanchion are beefier in this e-bike model. Now, they went back to 36 again in the 2020 model. I guess they were making room in the 2019 market for the new Ransom to gain traction.
I am considering a good deal on a 2019 Genius 900 Tuned model, but I am a bit worried about the fork. 150mm seems a bit too much to keep a 34 fork rigid enough. If I will have to switch it to 36, then it is no longer a good deal.
I did some search but couldn't find any useful reviews on how these 34s perform. From online pics, it looks like quite a few people have replaced these with a 36 version.
Can anyone share firsthand experience with how the stock 34 e-Fox fork performs on Genius 900?
