Braking is done by using front disc brakes and rear rim brakes, that are both wire driven. Credited with creating the first-ever gravel bike, Genesis bicycles are designed to take you on adventure — off-road, on-road, or wherever your heart desires. We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information for mountain bikes on MTB Database.
Genesis created the personalities and graphics for bikes built for the world’s diverse cultures. You can see our work for Giant in the grueling Tour de France, on Tokyo commuter streets, and in a garage much like your own. The Genesis™ bicycle rack features concentric rings that park bikes safely and securely. The Genesis™ offers two contact points, at front and rear, for locking.
A Reynolds 725 steel frame – strong, dependable and relatively light – is at the heart of the bike. Like the best touring bikes, the Tour de Fer aims to capture the essence of packing up and heading for the wilderness in a stripped-back yet absolutely feature-loaded package. Before buying, all we have to do is to evaluate, these things include, what are the features, pros and cons, routine maintenance, and the accessories that come with it when you buy it.
The angles are steep, the front end is low and there aren’t mudguard or pannier mounts. 33c tyres are specced (the maximum permitted in UCI sanctioned cyclocross races), while the maximum tyre size recommend is 35c. 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 dropper seatpost, slacker head angle, shorter chainstays and clearance for tyres up to 50mm wide on 650b wheels are responsible for this more playful handling.
This is a bike that will zip around town without a second thought. The Venerable Croix de Fer frameset has been a mainstay genesis bike of the Genesis range since 2009. The frameset is incredible versatile and lends itself to a multitude of different builds.
