Elite HMX-SL Carbon Frame Engineering

• The elite carbon hmx-sl frame uses aerospace-grade fibers to achieve a chassis weight that defies the 150mm travel category.
• An internal shock access port featuring a tool-free magnetic cover allows for effortless sag setup and rebound adjustment of the hidden shock.
• The uncompromising ultimate trail speed is enhanced by a head angle adjustment system that requires no cable cutting to swap cups.
• By enclosing the suspension, the Scott Genius 900 Ultimate ensures that the rear shock remains factory-fresh even in the muddiest conditions.
• A clean cockpit cable integration system hides all hydraulic lines within the frame for a silent, rattle-free riding experience.

Refined Integrated Suspension Performance Mastery

• The TwinLoc 2 suspension mastery allows you to shorten the rear travel to 100mm in Traction mode, turning this trail beast into a technical climber.
• The advanced suspension & traction control system uses a custom Fox Float X NUDE shock with a larger air volume for consistent high-speed damping.
• 150mm of integrated rear travel provides a progressive leverage curve that is incredibly supple on small bumps yet resists bottoming out.
• Check out technical deep dives on integrated suspension for details on the internal linkage and bearing longevity.
• Optimized ultimate trail performance kinematics ensure that the bike remains high in its travel during steep, technical uphill transfers.

Boutique Wireless Transmission & Electronics

• The SRAM XX Eagle Transmission offers the most reliable shifting under load, even when pedaling at full power on steep climbs.
• SRAM Code Ultimate brakes paired with HS2 rotors provide pro-level heat management and the most consistent bite point in the industry.
• The pro-level ultimate component spec includes carbon-railed Syncros saddles and titanium hardware throughout to shave every possible gram.
• Detailed component comparisons show the weight-to-stiffness advantage of the HMX-SL carbon frame over standard trail bikes.
• Integrated digital pressure sensors notify your smartphone if your tire or shock pressure deviates from your optimal settings.
