Genesis Croix De Fer Bike Reviews and Ratings

Bike Radar has a review from 2014 detailing the fun to ride, as it has stable and neutral handling making it a great blend between the practicality of a cyclocross bike and the speed of a road bike. There are also good comments about the long ride suitability: which is courtesy of the steel frame for comfort and the adaptability of the gear ratios provided and the disc brakes that give the bike reliable braking, whether you are racing at speed or have the bike loaded up with panniers. This review gives a rating of 4.0/5.

Amongst the reviews is one from Road.cc from 2013 mentioning the do-it-all versatility, as this bike is equally at home with bit of road speed, or changing the tyres and going off road, or loading it up for touring. This review for the Genesis Croix De Fer also mentions the gearing: which is aimed at giving you plenty of choice whether you are on steep hills on a track or have some speed to maintain on the road and the wide tyre choice because the wheels are equally suitable for mountain bike tyres, faster road tyres or puncture proof commuting. This review includes a rating of 4.5/5.

Reviews include Cyclist.co.uk from Feb 2016 (covering the Titanium model) and describing the all-day comfort, because of the long wheelbase, relaxed head angle and the general performance of the titanium frame in smoothing out the ride. It also comments on the brakes: which are hydraulic and progressive, bringing you to a rapid, safe stop on a variety of surfaces, plus the upgrade possibilities because the bars, stem and seatpost are pretty average. You could also just buy the frame and build something up from scratch.. This site rates this for the Genesis Croix De Fer, bike at 4.0/5.
