The choice of 28mm tyres adds a bit of useful comfort for city streets, while the 44/18 gearing isn’t too hardcore for casual riding. B’TwinAt £250 it’d be easy to approach the B’Twin 500 Single Speed City and start looking for weak links. But it is what it claims, a proper little single-speed bike with everything working as you’d expect. Often, we’ve built up a fixie from an old frame and spare parts rather than buying a complete bike, but we still understand what makes a great fixie or single-speed bike. As mentioned earlier, the Ride1Up Turris is priced at a rather affordable $1,295 USD, making it one of the best value-for-money e-bikes on the market, especially given its versatile platform. Micah Toll from Electrek was able to get his hands on one, and had quite a lot of good things to say about it.
Prefitted mudguards and more puncture resistant city tyres are such examples. With a 2×9 Shimano Sora groupset and mechanical disc brakes, there are notable differences to the higher end Croix de Fer. But these won’t present an impediment to getting out and using the frame for the huge variety of applications it has the capability for. Gravel riding, endurance road riding, cycle-touring, commuting, these are all still possible on this bike – it’s just a more accessible platform to get started with. TheCroix de Feris probably Genesis’ flagship bike, much loved by adventurers and commuters alike. It’s the ultimate all-round all-terrain machine, with a hardy steel frameset, disc brakes, relaxed geometry and mounts for all the additional fittings you might need.
Essentially an aluminium version of the Croix de Fer, the CDA features a similar plethora of mounts and wide clearances but comes in at a significantly lower price. Part of this is down to the different frame material, but cheaper components are also a factor. The aero features of more expensive bikes are present, with cables are routed internally and the leading edges of the frame are smoothly rounded. The groupset is Shimano Tiagra with a 2×10 drivetrain while the maximum tyre size is 25c. Over ten years the range expanded beyond commuter bikes to include road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes. The GenesisDatumis another versatile bike that could serve as a gravel-cruncher or mile-muncher, depending on the tyres you choose to run.
Bought myself a new hybrid and it exceeded my expectations. The floor person took her time in sizing the bike to me for a correct fit and ride. They installed a few add on and explained everything including my warranty. I would recommend genesis to anyone looking to purchase a bike ,excessories or just ask questions they may have.
The Montane Icemen underlined the s capabilities as they used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600-mile coastline of Iceland in 14 days. Genesis bikes became renowned for their use of steel tubing and ethos for function over form. The first Genesis bike was produced under the Ridgeback brand as the Day One model in 2001. Due to its popularity, Genesis became a label in its own right in 2006. If you’re in the market for a more porteur-style bike, the Brixton is where Croix de Fer meets cargo. Its 1×9 drivetrain keeps things simple, while the swept back riser bars give the rider a more upright position.
First, being made of Reynolds 725 steel not only imparts cachet among bike nerds, but it should also keep things comfy while ensuring decades of service from the frame. The urban explorer is propelled by a 750-watt Shengyi rear-hub motor, which has a top speed of 28 miles per hour and can generate 60 Nm of torque. It doesn’t feature cutting-edge torque-sensing technology, but instead, keeps it simple with a basic cadence sensor. It does, however, feature a thumb-actuated throttle which can propel the bike to a top speed limited to 20 miles per hour. As for battery tech, the Turris’ integrated downtube 48-V/12.8-Ah battery provides between 25 and 45 miles of riding per charge.
