Restore original suspension plushness and precise rear-wheel tracking with the genuine Scott E-Genius MY18 Linkage Repair Kit (266607). Engineered specifically for 2018 model year Scott E-Genius platforms, this complete service kit replaces worn pivot hardware, bearings, and spacers across the rear swingarm.
Over time, demanding off-road riding and dirt ingress cause linkage bearings to wear down, resulting in unwanted frame flex, creaking noises, and sloppy suspension action. Installing this factory refresh kit restores stiff, quiet, and smooth articulation while protecting your frame from premature wear caused by misaligned linkage forces.
Factory OEM Fitment: Genuine Scott replacement parts designed to match exact original tolerances and frame geometry.
Comprehensive Pivot Refresh: Includes essential replacement bearings, spacers, and pivot hardware for a full swingarm overhaul.
Smooth & Quiet Performance: Eliminates rear triangle slop, restores plush rear shock action, and prevents frame creaking.
Part Number: 266607
Frame Compatibility: 2018 Scott Genius 700/900/Contessa & 2018 Scott E-Genius/Contessa E-Genius models ONLY
Materials: High-grade alloy hardware and sealed steel cartridge bearings
Top Shock Bushing: Not included (sold separately)
✅ You own a 2018 Scott Genius or E-Genius e-MTB that has developed rear-end play or creaking.
✅ You want a genuine factory repair kit to preserve your frame’s original suspension performance
.✅ You are performing a seasonal rear suspension service and need all matching hardware in one package.
❌ You ride a 2017, 2019, or newer Scott Genius frame, as this kit is tailored strictly to 2018 chassis.
❌ You only require the top shock mounting bushing, which must be purchased as a separate item.
❌ You are seeking aftermarket ceramic bearings rather than official Scott OEM steel components.
Before pressing in your new linkage bearings, thoroughly clean and degrease all frame pivot bores to remove grit. Applying a thin film of waterproof grease to the outer bearing races and axle sleeves stops creaking before it starts and makes future overhauls far easier!
