Scott founder Ed Scott gave his name to the new fat bike from Scott. "Big Ed" is not only the only completely new model that Scott is presenting for 2015, it is also the first fat bike from the luxury brand. Rolling on 4.6 inch tires, "Big Ed" weighs in at around 15 kilograms. Scott promises that the "Big Ed" has been designed with smoothness in mind. The steering angle is 69 degrees and the front is suspended by a Rock Shox Blut. Availability and Swiss prices are not yet definitively known, but "Big Ed" should be available from around 2500 euros.

Model cosmetics and further optimizations

While the Genius LT remains with 170 millimeters of travel, the new Fox 36 replaces the existing Fox 34 on the Genius LT in the new model year. There are no major changes to the frame itself, which was presented a year earlier. The work of the Scott engineers this year lies in the details: the steering and seat angle can now be changed by 0.7 degrees using the "Angle Set". This also raises or lowers the bottom bracket height. As before, the fork and shock can be adjusted to the riding situation using the three-stage Twin-Loc system. The Fox Nude damper on the Genius LT Tuned has been revised and should now respond more sensitively. At 12.1 kilograms, the tuned version of the Genius LT remains an absolute lightweight. A first ride impression of the Genius LT confirms that the bike is and will remain a jack-of-all-trades, only the tires are likely to be adjusted for most buyers: The Rocket Razor from Schwalbe fitted to the rear wheel has no place in this area of use.
