Scott nailed the geometry here. As a Trail or All-MTN-category bike, the Voltage offers adjustable headset cups so you can choose between a steeper 65° head angle for quicker steering or a slacker 63.9° for more confident descending.
Its longer 455 mm chainstays keep it stable and planted at speed, though they trade away a bit of agility in tight switchbacks—especially with dual 29” wheels and no mullet option. The bike really shines on flowing or wide-open trails where you can lean into turns without fighting the chassis.
Fit and cockpit details are on point: a generous 780 mm handlebar inspires control, and the upsized dropper posts (S: 140 mm, M: 180 mm, L/XL: 210 mm) deserve a shout-out.
Weight is another highlight. At just over 41 lbs, the Voltage feels light for an eMTB yet still substantial enough for rocky descents giving you a solid base beneath. Compared to 50+ lb competitors, it’s refreshing to hop on something this nimble—and easier to sail into jumps.
Suspension performance matches the bike’s character. The Marzocchi Z2 Air fork is supportive with straightforward compression tuning, while the FOX Float Custom EVOL shock pairs well out back. Scott’s TwinLoc system lets you toggle Descend, Trail, or Lockout modes on the fly. I’ve been skeptical of TwinLoc on eMTBs (my wife’s Scott has it), but I think I’m starting to come around to it—it helps conserve energy on climbs or flowy sections, while opening fully for chunkier terrain, all without having to stop and fiddle with anything you just adjust on the fly.
Scott cleverly integrated the rear shock with an easy-to-read sag guide in the rocker link. Pop off the lower cover to access the valve when you need to adjust air pressure.
Component spec is solid for the 920’s price point. Maxxis Dissector 2.6” tires offer good grip and rolling speed across varied terrain. SRAM DB8 four-piston brakes provide confident stopping power, and the Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain is dependable—no urgent upgrades needed.
Aesthetically, the Voltage is one of the cleanest bikes out there: internal routing, a minimal display, and the hidden shock keep everything tidy and mud-free on a valuable component. If you rely on shop service, maintenance won’t be an issue. DIY tinkerers, though, should know the integrated layout can make home adjustments a bit tight.
