The Genesis Croix De Fer 50 Gravel Bike - 2026 is a high-spec steel gravel bike built for mixed terrain, loaded rides, and long days in the saddle. Its Reynolds 725 steel frameset gives it a strong, refined base with the comfort and durability needed for road, gravel, touring, and bikepacking use. A Shimano GRX RX820 2 x 12-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, carbon fork, tubeless ready wheels, and wide 700x45mm tyres give it the range, control, and grip to handle varied routes with confidence.Key Features and Benefits:Reynolds 725 steel frameset: The heat-treated Reynolds 725 steel frame gives the bike strength, ride comfort, and long-term durability. It helps smooth rough road and gravel feedback while staying tough enough for loaded use, so the bike feels stable and dependable across long rides and mixed terrain.Amplitude G200 carbon fibre fork: The carbon fork helps reduce weight at the front of the bike and adds a more direct steering feel. It also includes mounts for Anything Cages, so you can carry extra kit on bikepacking trips without relying only on frame bags or rear luggage.Shimano GRX RX820 2 x 12-speed drivetrain: The GRX RX820 groupset is made for gravel riding, with a 46/30T chainset and 11-36T cassette. This gives you close gear steps for steady pace work and low gears for steep climbs, so you can ride fast road sections, rough tracks, and loaded routes with better cadence control.Shimano GRX RX820 hydraulic disc brakes: The hydraulic disc brakes use 160mm rotors front and rear for strong, controlled braking. The system gives smooth lever feel and reliable stopping power in wet or dry conditions, so you can manage speed with more control on descents, loose surfaces, and loaded rides.Maxxis Rambler 700x45mm tubeless ready tyres: The wide 45mm Rambler tyres add grip, comfort, and stability on gravel, broken lanes, and mixed surfaces. The tubeless ready set-up, with pre-taped rims and valves included, lets you run lower pressures for better traction and a smoother ride with fewer pinch punctures.Full mounting options for luggage and guards: Rack mounts, guard mounts, a third bottle mount, and fork cargo mounts make the Croix De Fer 50 easy to set up for commuting, touring, and bikepacking. This gives you more ways to carry water, bags, tools, and ride kit, so the bike can adapt to daily rides and longer trips.The Croix De Fer 50 is built for riders who want one gravel bike that can cover many roles without feeling limited. The steel frame gives comfort and strength, while the carbon fork, GRX 12-speed shifting, hydraulic brakes, and 45mm tubeless ready tyres add control and pace. Its wide range of mounts also makes it easy to fit luggage, guards, and extra storage for longer routes or all-weather use.For a gravel bike that blends steel frame comfort, modern GRX performance, and real cargo-ready design, the Genesis Croix De Fer 50 is a strong choice for riders who need one bike for road, gravel, touring, and daily use.Size Guide:X-SMALL - 156 to 164cmSMALL - 164 to 172cmMEDIUM - 171 to 179cmLARGE - 178 to 186cmX-LARGE - 185 to 193cm
