Suspension Mount

Mountain bikes

Scott Brilliance: High-end, all-conditions aluminum bike line that features Identical Lock, the first handlebar-mounted switch that locks out the front and put up suspensions at once.

Likes: Because suspension usually makes a bike bob under difficult pedaling, being able to instantly nullify it -- i.e. briefly making the Genius a nearly rigid bike -- confers preferably power transfer when you're hammering on smooth trails, pavement and any out-of-the-saddle climbing. Most old-fashioned front and rear shocks can be locked out by reaching down to them separately and flicking a divert, which can be a hassle. But the Twin Lock does it instantly with one handy lever, so I used it -- and went faster -- more often. (Couple Lock is only on the 2010 Geniuses.) A bonus: The rear shocker is adjustable
