Genesis bikes range: carbon race bikes and stunning steel frames

The Fugio range starts with the Fugio 10 Alloy at £1,599.99 and the steel Fugio 20 for £2,299.99, and there’s a frameset option too, priced at £949.99. The range is headlined by the new Genesis Fugio 30, with an amazing pink fade paintjob. There’s the usual mass of mounting points you find on gravel bikes, including ‘Anything’ cage triple boss mounts on the forks. Cyclists seeking a more advanced suspension system can opt for aftermarket forks or rear shocks, enhancing the bike's ability to handle rough terrains and challenging trails. As we can see, the Genesis V2100 has several pros, such as its affordable price point, lightweight frame, and durable construction. Its reliability and comfort-focused design make it a solid choice for new and experienced riders. The V2100 has a 21-speed drivetrain, providing smooth shifting even on bumps and uphill trails. The bike's Shimano derailleur also plays a significant role in optimizing gear changes and overall performance. The Tour de Fer is a steel touring-specific bike with a longer, stable wheelbase, and comes complete with mudguards and racks. Essentially an aluminium version of the Croix de Fer, the CDA features a similar plethora of mounts and wide clearances but comes in at a significantly lower price.
This low-priced option allows riders to enjoy a comfortable and durable mountain biking experience, ensuring great value for their money. Almost the antithesis of the Day One, the Flyer is sublime in its simplicity. It employs easily adjustable rim brakes, a single 42x17 gear, and it has mudguards to keep the spray off. Although the frame is steel, it’s relatively lightweight with a carbon fork and no excess components weighing it down. The frame is fully carbon and the cables are integrated into the frame for a cleaner look and better aerodynamics. They require a lot of force to stop your cycle, especially with heavier riders or during long steep descents. This, combined with the fact that they utilize the rim as their rotor, can cause issues. The frictional forces involved in braking can heat up the rim during these long descents and sometimes cause blowouts. The Genesis Saber model of bike is an inexpensive choice ready for those seeking adventure! It’s a men’s road bike found at Walmart and has a cool style mixing red with neutral colors. The dual-suspension system ensures riders encounter minimal vibrations and bounces, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience. This men’s Genesis bicycle offers impressive performance and durability. The dual-suspension system, smooth gear shifting, and reliable fork make it a great choice for beginners and skilled bikers. But there is clearance for up to 38c, so if the conditions require it, this bike is able to handle the rougher stuff. Some adventures are about taking your time and drinking in your surroundings, others are about getting there fast. This bike is designed for lightweight bike-packing, able to tackle ultra-distances on mixed terrain. These are the dedicated carbon race bikes, as ridden by the (now disbanded) UCI continental team Madison Genesis. You’ll find a range of materials used in Genesis bikes, though the brand is well loved for its steel offerings. But more than that, there’s front and rear dynamo lights, so you never need worry about forgetting/neglecting to charge your lights. An internally geared hub goes a long way to weather proofing the drivetrain, as do the full housed gear cables that help stop dirt degrading your shifting performance. The Fugio is a rowdier bike than the Croix de Fer, more suited to playing around on the trails and using the bumps as a platform to get some air. The aluminum frame and carbon fiber fork offer significantly improved performance over the complete aluminum or steel framesets that are common in this price range. With the narrower 25 mm wheels, it will ride pretty rough on gravel or rough terrain. However, it offers plenty of torque ratios with 11 rear cogs and would be a versatile machine for commutes and road riding. The upgraded version of the Genesis Equilibrium comes with premium hydraulic disc brakes. The more powerful brakes make it much more efficient and safe during descents and in general.
