While the Genesis V2100 bike comes with great technical features that make this bike stand out, it also has a style that is very attractive to riders. This bike’s great frame and easy assembly will attract the eyes of onlookers and give you a sleek look while you are riding. The way it’s cables are designed to not bend too tight and not become bound as the suspension moves up and down, eliminates the worry of any cable tension. When looking for a reliable well built mountain bike, whether a beginner or a skiller biker, the Genesis V2100 is designed for you. With its great price point, due to its low cost materials, this is a great choice bike for those watching their budget.

There’s also a 10 gram weight, saving to be had on a like for like size, with the brand putting this weight saving is down to the Helios Spherical helmet having less technical ventilation structure than the Aether. Personally found it a barely noticeable difference having ridden both helmets, with the two equally as comfortable. The POC Ventral SPIN helmet could probably sit in a few of the best road bike helmet categories due to its crossover credentials.

This means that the next time you crash, there won’t be anywhere for the energy to go, making a head injury more likely. Some riders incorrectly assume that a lightweight wheel with a low spoke count is difficult to keep in true. Yet a poorly assembled wheel with uneven spoke tension is far more likely to have issues. That’s why the majority of new owners reported that their Genesis V2100 was delivered with bent wheels, right out of the box.

Cost shown is the price of the helmet at the time of testing. The score values in these ratings are not comparable to score values in our helmet ratings for other sports. This is because there are differences in test methods, impact conditions, risk calculations, and impact weightings specific to each sport. Each lab impact is weighted based on how often a cyclist might experience a similar impact. We compute concussion risk from measured peak linear acceleration and rotational velocity for each test.

We rate each bike helmet based on the results of 24 impact tests in our laboratory. A drop tower designed to match helmet-to-ground characteristics in genesis bicycles cycling is used to test the helmets. We measure linear acceleration and rotational velocity for each impact, which are correlated to concussion risk.

However it was getting late in the year, so I wanted to bike before the snow came, so I bought it. Now, if you plan on riding down Pike’s Peak, even the $1600 bike fall apart. Although whenever my wife drags me to WalMart, I make it a point of taking pictures of the bikes that are assembled incorrectly.
