There’s also room for a new mountain bike that takes 27.5 plus tyres, or regular 29ers. British brand Genesis has become a brand synonymous with versatility for us here at Wheelbase. Victoria Wilkinson wins the legendary Three Peaks cyclo-cross on a borrowed Vapour disc, after her bike was damaged in a crash. Disc brakes for drop bars become a reality and we match them with our latest invention, the Croix de Fer. Capable on and off road, it was a gentle step away from our original Vapour and towards a bike that was intended to go further… but we never imagined quite how much further. Genesis champion themselves on built in practicalities that can be seen throughout the range, enabling their use daily across many different scenarios. The best example of this is the Croix de Fer which can only be described as the Swiss Army knife of the road bike world, capable of on or off road touring adventures, daily commutes and really comes into its own on anything unpaved. The Genesis range has expanded by a staggering amount, to include gravel, road, urban, and more. These hardy bikes are some of our staff’s favourites, tried and true in the bike packing and adventure realm. Their colourways are stunning, and their frames are tough yet agile.

However, through our online retail partner Freewheel, you are able spread the cost of your new bike via a finance scheme. With so many different variables this is an impossible question for us to answer properly!
