genesis bikeThis top-down forest road singletrack trail is lined with intermingling trees and has many turns. At first, I was a little concerned about whether it would cause a sightline obstruction, but as soon as the tires started rolling, I knew it wouldn’t be a problem. Secondly, I needed more torque for this bike and I should have swapped the front cassette for a bigger one on the climb.
genesis mountain bikeAll bikes are hand-built custom to order by our in-house mechanic. All Genesis framesets sold include a locally hand letterpressed “Certificate of Authenticity” that marks the milestone of our first product launch. Not only that, because we know how important it is to have easy access to tools, we’re including a limited edition Basic tool roll. You may believe that any brand of road bike sold in Walmart is not worth buying.
Not too long and well balanced with none of the ‘too much weight on the wrists’ feeling that sometimes comes on trail hardtails. Kit wise the Genesis is sensibly specced, Shimano Deore takes care of transmission duties with a SLX rear derailleur, brakes are Deore too. Genesis are a British brand that have been building decent bikes and a decent reputation so I was looking forward to a chance to see if the positive buzz about the company and their bikes was well earned. Specialized also launched a Peter Sagan collection with a largely gold frameset a few years ago.
And as the brand has always insisted, a lower stand-up height would be more suitable for women. Smoothly adjusting the gears during the ride can have a good riding experience, especially on mountain roads with up and down hills. Mountain bikes are not just a means of transportation for daily travel. It is no different from both transportation and fitness equipment.

Its 1×9 drivetrain keeps things simple, while the swept back riser bars give the rider a more upright position. If you’re a roadie, Genesis has a few models for you to consider.
The geometry is a little more upright, making for a more comfortable and less twitchy ride. There are mounts for mudguards and a pannier rack, which expands the range of use from just road riding to commuting and even lightweight cycle touring. The Croix de Fer is probably Genesis’ flagship bike, much loved by adventurers and commuters alike. It’s the ultimate all-round all-terrain machine, with a hardy steel frameset, disc brakes, relaxed geometry and mounts for all the additional fittings you might need. The Croix de Fer comes in three steel options (10, 20 and 30) as well as a titanium model. At the entry-level, the Delta is an aluminium frame and carbon fork road bike with endurance geometry that comes with rim brakes and provides a comfortable ride.
