    Shouldn't this be in the mountain biking buyer advice forum?

    What do you want it for, the Genius is a full susser, the Aspect an H/T, at current prices the genius £3K, the Aspect £600, cheese/chalk, chalk/cheese!

    Maybe that's why he wants to know. ie, what justifies the price difference. But I agree, it should be in MTB.

    But to answer the question, the Genius is FS, so more complicated to design and build, has the extra cost of a rear shock, has better components and is probably lighter and stronger than the aspect due to a better frame.
