Genesis Croix de Fer 2013 Cyclocross Bike

Last years' boundary-blurring, runaway success story returns for another year in a fresh new practical paintjob. Loved equally by commuters and weekend adventurers, the Croix De Fer is the ideal 'fun' bike to have in the shed. A bike for "someone who rides whatever is in front of him rather than aligning to a particular tribe."

Equally well suited to year-round commuting on asphalt, hammering down sun baked bridleways or even exploring the world. It’s a versatile and beautiful bicycle that crosses many boundaries.

For some time it was the holder of a Guinness World Record when in 2010, in pursuit of an often-contested record, Vin Cox rode his Croix De Fer around the world faster than anyone had managed before. The spec hasn't really changed much since its inception - testament to the fact that Genesis got it right first time.
