At the time, we weren’t sure if people would get it, so we hedged slightly, genesis bicycles labelling it as a cross bike in the truest sense of the word. Our bikes will take you to those places, fulfill your curiosities and make you remember why going for a ride is one of life’s most brilliant experiences. The best riding is off the beaten track, on that road – or path – to who knows where.
Genesis is known for offering budget-friendly bikes that cater to a wide range of riders. They provide a decent quality for the price, making them a suitable choice for beginners or recreational riders who are not looking to invest in high-end bikes. Again, at this price level, having quality brakes is unusual.
The Core 26.4 came fitted with 2.2 Mountain Kings, the originals not the much improved Mountain King II. The Core range is based around a 6061 aluminium tube set that is butted where needed with some gentle manipulation to ovalise the down tube as it meets the seat tube at the bottom bracket shell. There are strengthening gussets where the down tube and top tube meet the tapered head tube and the seat stays are an old school wishbone style, the lack of a bridge gives ample mud clearance.
So it is a little lighter than the Genesis 26″ V2100 Mountain Bike, and a little more flexible when dealing with off-road climbs. And as the brand has always insisted, a lower stand-up height would be more suitable for women. It can be rated as one of the cheapest mountain bikes with good value for money. Smoothly adjusting the gears during the ride can have a good riding experience, especially on mountain roads with up and down hills.
It is available with flat bars and drop bars, carbon forks and steel forks, there’s even a titanium frame option. For each of the builds, there are different spec levels donated by a ‘10’ for the entry level and ’30’ for the top line. For those interested in dipping their toes into racing, or just want a sportier feeling bike, the Zeal range is Genesis’ entry level carbon option. The geometry is more aggressive than the endurance-oriented Equilibrium, but not quite as ‘head-down bum-up’ as the dedicated racers that are the Zeros. A solid steel range and a smattering of aluminium and carbon models brings the brand bang up to date.
This is a bike that will zip around town without a second thought. The Venerable Croix de Fer frameset has been a mainstay of the Genesis range since 2009. The frameset is incredible versatile and lends itself to a multitude of different builds. You could put 38c tyres on it and go bike-packing on some gravel, or you could put front and rear pannier racks on, throw in some mudguards, and take it on an around the world tour. You could even commute, go on road rides, use it as a utility shopper. With a front platform rack and rear pannier stand, the Brixton is Genesis’s top-of-the-line utility bike.
There’s the option of having a full carbon frame at the higher end of the spec too, or a more affordable version with an aluminium frame and carbon fork. The Genesis Datum is another versatile bike that could serve as a gravel-cruncher or mile-muncher, depending on the tyres you choose to run. There’s also a women’s-specific version of the Datum, as well as a frameset so you can build your own. We offer 24-hour service turnaround on bikes of any brand (excluding certain e-bike models). Our fast, friendly service team will have you rolling again in no time. The brakes are used with disc brakes on the front and rear of the bike, making for a nice look.
