Designed to be capable, our CDA has mounts for 'guards and racks, so you're set for staying dry and load lugging, be it on your commute or weekend adventure ride.

The Croix de Fer - now more capable and adaptable than ever before!

Our genre-defying, boundary-blurring bestseller built from Mjolnir Chromoly steel tubing. The original gravel bike retains the same go-anywhere, do anything attitude that's been instilled since it's conception over ten years ago.

Kitted out with a Shimano Sora groupset the Croix De Fer 10 is your gateway to exploring all the gravel paths and roads less ridden you could possibly find.

The ability to run up to a 45mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre on the provided 700c rims increase the all-terrain ability of the Croix - and it doesn't end there. If you want to experiment with 650B wheels, you could run up to a 44mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre.

Mudguard and rack ready, fixings for Anything Cages on the forks and featuring tubeless compatibility, this bike is the complete package.

Never has one bike been more worthy of the 'one bike, many hats' crown. Croix de Fer - supremely capable, infinitely adaptable.

Specification 

Our all-new top-tier CDA matches a great specification at an even better price. Our aluminium frameset is again the centrepiece for this versatile build.

Suited to commuting, utility, touring, road and gravel, the CDA is no less adaptable than our flagship Croix de Fer, from which it takes inspiration.

Somehow, we've managed to add Shimano's excellent GRX gearing making this CDA the one if you're planning to head straight off the beaten track.

Just add some bikepacking bags and you'll be off, wherever the route takes you! Beaten up B-roads, bridleways, byways and everything in between, the CDA will tackle it with a grin.

Of course, being a CDA, there won't be any complaints if it's used as a winter road bike, resplendent in full-length mudguards - or even a posh commuter with panniers fitted.

Impeccable manners that threaten to outshine our original Croix de Fer, as the student becomes the master!

Specification

The Genesis Croix De Fer 20 Disc Gravel Bike is an exceptionally versatile option, just as at home on the daily commute as it is adventuring across continents. At its heart is a Reynolds 725 steel frame with mounts for mudguards, a rack and fixings for Anything cages on the forks so it is capable of being loaded up safely and securely for trips away from civilisation. The steel’s natural compliance helps keep the ride comfortable when off the tarmac, supplemented by clearances for tyres up to 50mm and 45mm wide, front and rear respectively. 

Gravel-specific, Shimano’s GRX 10-speed drivetrain offers a huge spread of gears that can cope with steep, off-road hills and fast downhills with equal aplomb whilst the TRP Spyre-C mechanical disc brakes add reliable stopping power and easy servicing. Kenda’s Booster tyres and Jalco wheels are both tubeless-ready, making the switch to no inner tubes simple and painless.

Specification:

Built to go the distance.

A modern classic, the Croix de Fer keeps on turning and this interpretation is our most rounded model yet.

At its heart is the ever faithful Reynolds 725 tubing. Featured throughout, this is thin in comparison to regular chromoly, saving a little weight and enhancing the ride quality. Matched to our steel fork, this is a bike which gives a reassuring ride, even when loaded.

That theme continues with Shimano’s GRX groupset providing a reliable shifting on and off road. We’ve gone for an RX-600 chainset featuring 46/30T chainrings, with shifters and hydraulic brake callipers to match.

The ability to run up to a 45mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre on the provided 700c rims increase the all-terrain ability of the Croix – and it doesn’t end there. If you want to experiment with 650B wheels, you could run up to a 44mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre.

Thru-axles front and rear, tubeless ready rims and tyres, flat mount disc brakes, a third bottle mount, rack and guard mounts and fixings for Anything Cages on the forks complete the package.

Specification:

Meet the Nuroad C:62 Pro. Blending the comfort and low weight of a full carbon gravel chassis with Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x11 groupset, it's got everything you need to explore further afield. The Fulcrum wheelset features rims designed to suit the rigours of allroad riding, with a wide bed that's ideal for the grippy Schwalbe tyres we've selected. Add the power of hydraulic disc brakes and the comfort of a full carbon fork and Newmen carbon seatpost, and you've no more excuses left. Where will it take you next weekend? 

A great gravel bike frame blends the lively handling of a race bike with the ruggedness of a cyclocross machine and the comfort of a tourer. That's a tricky balancing act to get right, but the Nuroad C:62 Pro pulls it off. Lightweight carbon construction and careful attention to detail mean it's tough, comfortable and versatile. The full carbon fork features lowrider rack mounts, while integrated carrier and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise. It's practical, too - huge clearances mean you can run 45mm tyres without mudguards, or 40mm with.

Specification:

Our entry-level mountain bike, the Ridgeback Terrain 1 is ready to head off-road and take on the trails at your local forest.

Powerful v-brakes give predictable stopping and 21 wide-ranging gears give this true mountain bike adaptability for steep climbs and fast descents.
