BG Bikes are proud to offer this super BRAND NEW English Genesis road bike that offers a huge choice of uses.
Genesis are a UK brand, that are well known for their multi-functional Croix de Fer model. This model became extremely popular as their ‘Go To’ bike as it offered everything that you wanted in a road bike. It’s steel frame offers comfort and has mounts on the frame for mudguards and /or a rack. It is often used as a great touring bike but is best known for it’s ability as an ‘adventure bike’. It’s greater tyres clearances means that you could also run the bike with bigger tyres allowing fitment of large volume 40` tyres. Moreover, many riders use them as touring bikes in the same vein as Dawes’ famous Galaxy.
Now that the bike is fitted with knobbly tyres it would also be at home on many off-road trails and can / could be used as a Gravel bike.
The model that we have for sale is one of the budget models in the range and is made from Mjolnir (very reliable) and comfortable steel tubing. The groupset is Shimano Sora with an Acera rear mech that allows the use of a wide-ranging 11-32 cassette.
What makes this bike so much better than the standard version are the upgraded wheels and tyres. The wheels are from Araya that are a much improved upgrade over the standard Alex wheels that this model would have been fitted with. To compliment the brand new wheels are Clement 35` wide CX tyres.
With ultra reliable gearing, superb steel frame and upgraded wheels the bike is finished off with in-house Genesis components including the comfy padded saddle.
Despite the brakes only being cable disc, they are made by TRP – so they offer very good braking.
As with most of our range we always try and upgrade in a couple of ‘key’ areas and we have done this with the wheels, that now offer the bike a far more superior ride.
So; the sum of the parts equates to great all rounder. If you’re after a great comfortable bike that can be used for a multitude of uses then this is the bike for you.
