But more than that, there’s front and rear dynamo lights, so you never need worry about forgetting/neglecting to charge your lights.
The rim brake version can take tyres up to 28c, whereas the disc version can handle 30c. So many models are offered that it can be hard to choose exactly which bike is best for you. If you’re a dyed in the wool roadie or complete ‘cross-head, you can jump straight to the section that interests you most. Specialising in gravel, road, touring and mountain bikes made from genesis bicycles steel, titanium and aluminium, these are bikes that encourage you to explore the paths and trails less travelled. There are, however, a number of points that make this a more versatile bike than the carbon alternative. Tyre clearance is increase to 38c, there are discrete mudguard and pannier mounts and an extra set of bottle bosses is present on the downtube.
Some are more race oriented, meaning mudguard and pannier mounts are forgone and the geometry is longer and lower. Others have more of an endurance focus, better suited to long rides and have all the mounts you need for light cycle-touring. As with the Day One, there are mudguards, rear pannier rack, and an internally geared rear hub for all weather dependability.
Not quite mainstream, yet still hugely popular, Genesis Bikes are a British brand loved by steel-aficionados and adventurers alike.

One year on Vin Cox set off from The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.
Versatility still pervades the frame, with downtube bottle bosses and mounts for a rear rack and mudguards. Although this bike can take on the commuting duties or a bit of cycle-touring, it is more suited to lively riding in the woods and on bridleways. With a 2×9 Shimano Sora groupset and mechanical disc brakes, there are notable differences to the higher end Croix de Fer. 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 first genesis bike was produced under the Ridgeback brand as the Day One model in 2001. Due to its popularity, Genesis became a label in its own right in 2006. Capable on and off road, it was a gentle step away from our original Vapour and towards a bike that was intended to go further… but we never imagined quite how much further.
The unique design of the Genesis bike rack helps guide bikes into proper parking position while providing double the parking space of typical serpentine racks. It’s available in galvanized, powder-coated, or stainless steel finishes and in-ground or Surface Mounting. The Genesis™ bicycle rack has the simple “floating” concentric rings that look like an attractive outdoor sculpture. The Genesis™ offers two contact points, at front and rear, for locking.
The Genesis UAV 1.0 is a modern 27.5″ with hard packed tires that rolls over everything. Light alloy frame with 24 speeds, and mech disc brakes. These bikes are designed for longer days out being able to handle heavier loads and rougher roads. Some bikes (such as the Fugio) are more oriented towards the rough stuff, whereas others (such as the Croix de Fer) are better suited to carrying loads. 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.
