You won’t have to worry about coming to an abrupt stop as you can rely on these breaks to keep you safe in nearly any situation. View and compare a huge selection of bikes from brands such as Trek, Specialized, Giant, Santa Cruz, Norco and more. This Genesis mountain bike comes equipped with a full suspension fork which allows for great acceleration. The low price range for this bike makes it worth it as we didn’t see too many faults with this bike’s suspension. This doesn’t mean you should take it for granted however, and aggressively ride this bike. We’ve seen that the suspension can wear out over time depending on how aggressively you ride it. The front end has been slackened and bottom bracket dropped, when compared to Boardman road bikes, to deliver a more confidence inspiring stability off road. The ADV 8.9 also now has a longer wheelbase and shorter stems, all of which should also produce a comfortable and stable rough terrain riding experience. Equipped with Tektro mechanical disc brakes there's plenty of stopping power for tougher conditions and with clearance for mudguards and a pannier rack, this bike has everyday, year-round versatility. When looking for a reliable well built mountain bike, whether a beginner or a skiller biker, the Genesis V2100 is designed for you. With its great price point, due to its low cost materials, this is a great choice bike for those watching their budget. It is actually considered one of the most affordable mountain bikes for its class. The ADV 8.9 range also now feature Shimano's gravel specific GRX drive train and hydraulic disc brakes. The 2x10 offering has been teamed with an cassette and a FSA Omega chainring for a range of gears that Boardman say should be big enough for hitting the tarmac fast, yet small enough to tackle slippery steep off-road gradients. If this bike is your first mountain bike, it is also essential to understand the various elements of its shifting system and what separates it from other bikes.
