The Bad
None that I have found so far.
Overall Review:

I have owned a 2019 Genius 900 Tuned, 2020 Genius 900 Ultimate and now a 2023 Genius 900 Ultimate. It is a full HMX carbon bike including the seat-stay, chain-stay, wheels, and handlebars. This is by far the best of the 3 bikes.  With the new geometry this bike climbs a ton better and is even better on the downhill.  The new more vertical seat-post tube positions you over the bottom bracket to give you better climbing and helps you keep your chin over the handlebars when descending. With the rear shock now integrated in the frame it keeps it clean and sleek looking.  It has an access panel that you remove for easy adjustments to the rear shock.  I recently took this bike to Moab and was amazed on how well it handled the trails.  It is hard to find an all trail mountain bike that weighs under 30 lbs and this comes in at 28.31 lbs when I weighed it with tubeless setup.  I have setting all sorts of new PR's both climbing and descending with this bike.  I think it's going to be hard to beat this bike anytime in the near future.
