genesis bikeFor 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.
genesis bikeIn contrast to the earlier bike though, it offers 7 speeds, with 1 on the front and 7 on the rear. If you want more control over exactly what components your bikes is built with, both of these are available to buy as just the frameset. It can be rated as one of the cheapest mountain bikes with good value for money. Of course, we don’t need to introduce our best-selling CDA frameset, which features our hybrid double-butted alloy tubing, delivering high levels of stiffness in certain areas and compliance in others. 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.
Others have more of an endurance focus, better suited to long rides and have all the mounts you need for light cycle-touring. A wide variety of models is offered by the English brand, to reach all types of users. If the pride of the brand lies in its excellent touring models, road enthusiasts will find their happiness in a quality catalog at affordable prices. Moving into the racier end of the spectrum, the Zero and Zero Disc are full-carbon road bikes with aggressive geometry.
genesis mountain bikeI don’t have to worry about destroying the frame of my bike if I hit the derailleur. It was sub $200 and offered a lot for the price, as we will talk about here in a moment. It is meant specifically for taller folks like me (I’m 6′ 1″) however I think people a bit shorter than me would be right at home. This variable speed throttle was designed to be easy on the wrists, and even easier to operate. LCD screen with battery charge indicator for on-the-go battery charge reading.
Braking is done by using front disc brakes and rear rim brakes, that are both wire driven. Our high-quality tires are made to give you a smooth ride thru the city. The suspension fork absorbs shock to keep the ride comfortable.
