Genesis 2015 Croix de Fer 20 Gravel Bike

Season:2015

Brand:Genesis

Code:VARCROIXDEFER20White

2015 sees the return of the popular, original, much requested white/black monotone paintjob. Genesis used a taller axle-to-crown fork for much improved tyre/mudguard clearance so fitting guards without pain is now much easier. Genesis have used a taller HeadTube (+15/20mm depending on frame size) for a more accessible/less agro riding position, +5mm BB drop added (65-70mm) for better stability and balance and more proportional reach/stack measurements across the size run. Perhaps the biggest visible addition is the upgraded brakes. Genesis have specced TRP Hy/Rd brakes (with compression-less Jagwire KEB-SL cable outer) which combine cable actuation with hydraulic power to great effect and replace last years' Hayes CX5 mechanicals. Genesis have also upgraded the chainset to a Shimano non-series FC-R565 model which sheds over 100g vs. last years' Tiagra model and loses the 'dinner plate' outer ring which was visually 'more challenging' for some.
