Greetings!

I've been eyeing up this bike (Scott Genius 710 Plus 2017) for a while, and it's just got even cheaper today.

Just wondering if anyone has got one and could share their views. My main concern is about the semi-fat tyres - do they not make it quite sluggish in the dry and extremely slippy in the mud?

I've got the alloy version.

I've noticed I'm significantly faster uphill, on the flats, and down hill than on my Trigger or 29er ht.

The rims are 40mm - Could possibly run 2.3 tyres in winter as the grip is not great in slippy mud with 2.8/3.0.

Its not very lls. I'm 5'7" and have med. Wish I had a large. Will probably add a offset bushes or headset in the summer. (if I can work out what headset I need... so confusing...)
