Th Genesis Croix de Fer 40 is the ideal steel drop-bar adventure bike, whether you want to set a new Guinness World Record or just want a fast and comfortable ride.
Its durable Reynolds frame will absorb the bumps and give you a smooth ride, while the 2X setup provides the perfect spread of gears for both road and off-road terrains.
The CDF 40 features some upgrades from other Croix de Fer models, including an 11sp GRX groupset, hydraulic disc brakes, cartridge bearing hubs, better-quality rims, and through-axles for extra rigidity (as opposed to quick-release skewers). It's also Di2-compatible, should you decide to switch to electronic shifting down the track.
In addition, multiple mounting points give you the versatility to set it up however you want. Racks on the front and the back? Sure! Mud guards? No one likes a muddy butt, so yes! Tubeless? Yup, the rims and tyres are a snap to convert. Just want to run a top tube and frame bag? Absolutely!
Solid, comfortable, dependable and durable -- the Genesis Croix de Fer is the real deal.
Besides, if it's good enough for Harrison Ford, it's good enough for us.
