Genesis Croix De Fer 2013 Cyclocross Bike

(26)

The Genesis Croix de Fer 2013 Cyclocross Bike has become synonymous with the brand. When they first introduced this steel cross bike to the range back in 2010 they were unsure how it would go down with their dealers and with the riding public, but it has been one of their very greatest success stories. Equally well suited to winter commuting on the roads or hammering down sun baked bridleways or even exploring the world, it’s a versatile and beautiful bicycle that crosses many boundaries.

It’s even the holder of a Guinness World Record since in 2010, in pursuit of an often-contested record, Vin Cox rode his Croix De Fer around the world faster than anyone has managed before. To prove this bikes versatility further, in August 2011 the Montane Icemen (Pete Sissons and Paul Cosgrove) used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600 mile coast line of Iceland in just 14 days.

Genesis Croix De Fer 2013 Cyclocross Bike 5 5 4 4

Fantastic My first drop handle bike. I've always had mountain bikes but after my Stumper Jump comp was stolen I thought I'd try this for the commute to work and occasional bit of trail riding up the heath. Amazed at how much I like it - very comfortable, decent components and I even prefer it to my stumpjumper which I loved. April 23, 2013

Great ride, lighter than expected! Test rode this bike yesterday and I will be buying frame only and building my bike from there. This setup, considering it has disc brakes and is steel was lighter than I was expecting. The gearing was very nice, shifting very effortlessly and felt like a comfortable all rounder that could suit many uses. The disc brakes felt very good although not as responsive as id hoped through the sti levers. Still excellent stopping ability and very comfortable use of the levers. I will be using it to tour europe and I can't wait to get this frame home now to start building! I will be using disc brakes but adding intermediate (suicide) levers to give me more responsive and accessible braking from an upright position. Recommend! My only change would be adding the ability to use rim brakes (v's etc), as I would prefer to save the ££ and avoid disc brakes. February 26, 2013

The D.B's the bike has it all I've wanted this bike for a couple of years and having convinced the wife i need a 4th bike for everyday I am a very pleased with Croix De Fer. I have Genesis Altitude 10 MTB and was impressed by the ride and the same can be said here. The geometry feels natural, the ride over London roads comfortable compared to my aluminium/carbon road bike, the disc brakes just the job to get through the daily commute and the gearing is exact and wide ranging. This bike could easily replace the others. It's not the lightest being steel, but it's one of the best I've ever ridden. February 21, 2013

Ride this bike and receive compliments from riders This product is very well equipped, has an astonishing look with its skinny steel frame, brown handlebars and saddle, disc brakes. I really appreciate riding it : it feels both light and strong, fast and its disc brakes give me confidence. Its multi-purpose design is what I was looking for. One remark for non-UK customers (I live in France) : left brake lever is for rear wheel, which is the opposite as standard brake mount out of left-driving countries. If that's an issue, you can still change it afterwards. November 9, 2012
