The Mantle is the brand’s XC and endurance bike, and is a full carbon 29er hardtail with 100mm travel. You’ll find a range of materials used in Genesis bikes, though the brand is well loved for its steel offerings. We ask that you return your bike to the same place it was purchased. If bought on our website, please have your order number on hand. At Genesis we have a history of doing things our own way, whether that’s making bikes we want to ride, or heading in a direction that might seem a little crazy at the time. It’s who we are and we embrace that as we share our latest range.

A combination of clean lines and an eye pleasing Cyan Blue paint job make the Core a very pretty bike and at a price that is pretty attractive too. But the external cable routing makes it hard for me to get interested, it looks more cluttered. However, the Genesis 26″ V2100 Mountain Bike has an internal cable routing design, which makes the overall frame look neater and prevents damage to the control cables.

The Day One — its inaugural bike from 2001 — is still going strong as a low maintenance singlespeed with disc brakes and mounts for mudguards. Moving into the racier end of the spectrum, the Zero and Zero Disc are full-carbon road bikes with aggressive geometry. As the price increases, so does the level of tech, with Di2 included in the top-end model. From a performance standpoint, the Lotus Type genesis bike 136 is equipped with the HPS Watt Assist Pro motor, a setup that’s said to be the lightest in the world at just 1.2 kilograms. According to HPS, the system provides riders up to 35 percent advantage on climbs, without disrupting the balance and pedal feel of a non-electric bicycle. The motor is housed neatly into the bottom bracket shell, and can very easily go unnoticed to the untrained eye.

In line with the cutting-edge motor, the HPS system also features ANT+ connectivity, allowing users to pair the system with various bike computers to display the assist mode. The settings can also be calibrated to adjust pedal assist depending on your heart rate, so as to allow you to remain within certain training zones for longer.

The Calder Divide Trail is a long distance circular route across 12 valleys, 6 moors and 1 floodplain in West Yorkshire. For the first time ever, the Bespoked Bike Show is leaving the UK and taking place in Dresden, Germany. This Haibike Lyke CF 10 is one of those new fangled mid-power e-MTBs.

The first thing you notice is that the cockpit is comfortable, it just feels right. 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. 20 years of bike enthusiasts,

how to choose the best bikes. In terms of drivetrain, the Liv Tempt 4 is a 2×7 drivetrain with relatively fewer speed options. On the contrary, the larger 27.5″ tire diameter is not as nimble as the Genesis 26″ V2100 Mountain Bike on tight trails.

The Deity T-Mac has a very square pedal body which is extruded and machined from 6061-T6 aluminium using Deity’s unique symmetrical design.
