Trek buys Pennsylvania’s Genesis Bicycles

Which lets be honest, would have been ‘pretty trick’ if he’d not let a pissed up Rob Hayes loose on it. Packaging SystemThe packaging system had to accommodate everything from small replacement parts to complete bikes. Packaging SystemGenesis created a holistic packaging system that was impactful and highlighted specific features across a product offering that reached almost 3000 SKU’s. Product PresentationTrend setting and working with the factories to bring cutting-edge design concepts to a fast-paced market. Not quite mainstream, yet still hugely popular, Genesis Bikes are a British brand loved by steel-aficionados and adventurers alike.

With these bikes, the saddles have been changed for a women specific model as well as shorter cranks and narrower handlebars being specced to better suit female proportions. Over ten years the range expanded beyond commuter bikes to include road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes. If you’re in the market for a more porteur-style bike, the Brixton is where Croix de Fer meets cargo. Its 1×9 drivetrain keeps things simple, while the swept back riser bars give the rider a more upright position. The Mantle is the brand’s XC and endurance bike, and is a full carbon 29er hardtail with 100mm travel.

Check out the full Zero line from Genesis and keep an eye out for the Zero Team bikes as they make their race debut at the Tour of Britain, kicking off 7 September 2014 in Liverpool. The harder you ride the Alpitude the bigger your smile… so if you have the right attitude to get the most out of the Alpitude then this bike can rock your socks off. The main area that you notice the need to work to maintain momentum is when riding across rough ground at a relaxed pace, the bike can stall and you have to give it some oomph to get motoring again.

But these won’t present an impediment to getting out and using the frame for the huge variety of applications it has the capability for. Gravel riding, endurance road riding, cycle-touring, commuting, these are all still possible on this bike – it’s just a more accessible platform to get started with. The steel tubes of these endurance bikes, with their ability to dampen the road buzz, make them perfectly suited to long days out in the saddle. Pannier and mudguard mounts are also present on these frames, adding to their versatility. The external cable routing and threaded bottom brackets are also features that will be well apricated by home mechanics.

This Seat grants two adjustment screws for extra comfortable use, as well as a built-in to keep your wheel securely on the ground, the Seat is likewise adjustable to tailor any cyclist’s body size. The Genesis gx7 is a large 29 in motorbike that features a black and silver frame, the bus-like genesis bicycles design with its wide cushion Seat makes it a top surrogate for exploring new trails and exploring unknown. These are Genesis’ entry-level road bikes and are the cheapest in their range. The geometry is a little more upright, making for a more comfortable and less twitchy ride.

What they owned in “build quality” they lacked in brand connectivity. Genesis was hired to help create a brand visual language to help tie the products into a cohesive whole in the global marketplace. Finding the center of the brand design was based on our uncovering the “truth in materials” position.

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. Other bikes might have the specificity to perform better in a single one of these uses, but very few bikes would be able to perform as well as the Croix de Fer in all of them. It is the combination of a vast array of mounts, a robust steel frame and wide tyre clearances that allow this bike to be such a jack of all trades. These are the dedicated carbon race bikes, as ridden by the (now disbanded) UCI continental team Madison Genesis. The frame has internally routed cables for better aerodynamics and a wide section down tube for better torsional stiffness.
