Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2010 Scott Genius 30 and 2012 Scott Genius 30.
- Gearing
2012 Scott Genius 30 has a 11% lower climbing ratio than 2010 Scott Genius 30.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Equipment
2010 Scott Genius 30 has 30 mm more front travel than 2012 Scott Genius 30 in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
Gearing comparison

RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
