Genesis Croix De Fer 30 Gravel Bike - 2026 - Mortal Kumquat, L

The Genesis Croix De Fer 30 Gravel Bike - 2026 is a steel gravel bike built with a Reynolds 725 frame, Shimano Cues 2x10 drivetrain, and wide tubeless-ready tyres for reliable performance across mixed terrain. The Reynolds 725 steel frame provides strength, compliance, and long-term durability, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides. A wide-range Shimano Cues drivetrain delivers consistent shifting and useful gearing for varied gradients. Hydraulic disc brakes offer controlled stopping in all weather, while 700x45c tubeless-ready tyres improve grip, comfort, and puncture resistance.Key Features and Benefits:Reynolds 725 steel frame: This heat-treated steel frame increases strength without excess weight. It absorbs road vibration more effectively than rigid materials, which reduces fatigue and helps you maintain control over long distancesShimano Cues 2x10 drivetrain with 46-32T chainset: The dual chainring setup paired with a wide cassette range gives you efficient gearing for both climbing and steady riding. This helps you maintain cadence across varied terrain and reduces strain on steep sectionsShimano LG400 11-39T cassette: The wide-range cassette provides low gearing for climbs and higher gearing for faster sections. This supports smooth transitions between gradients and improves overall riding efficiencyShimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes (160/160): Hydraulic braking systems deliver consistent stopping power with minimal hand effort. This improves control in wet and dry conditions and reduces hand fatigue on longer descentsAmplitude GR100 rims with KT hubs (32H, centre lock): A durable wheelset with 32 spoke holes increases strength and load stability. This supports reliable performance on rough ground and helps maintain wheel integrity under loadMaxxis Rambler 700x45c tubeless-ready tyres: Tubeless-ready construction allows lower tyre pressures without pinch flats. This improves grip and comfort while reducing puncture risk on uneven surfacesThe result is a bike that supports long-distance riding across mixed terrain with consistent comfort and control. The steel frame helps manage vibration over time, while the wide gearing range keeps your effort steady on changing gradients. Hydraulic braking maintains reliability in poor conditions, and the tubeless-ready tyres improve traction and reduce interruptions from punctures. Each component works together to support efficient, stable riding over extended distances.This combination of durability, control, and practical gearing makes it a reliable choice for gravel, commuting, and light touring. It gives you the support needed for varied terrain and longer days on the bike, with components chosen for consistent performance and low maintenance.Size Guide:X-SMALL - 156 to 164cmSMALL - 164 to 172cmMEDIUM - 171 to 179cmLARGE - 178 to 186cmX-LARGE - 185 to 193cm
