Sturdy triple wall aluminum 26” x 36 H x 12G rims and 26” x 2.10in tires are ideal for a daily city cruise.
There’s the option of having a full carbon frame at the higher end of the spec too, or a more affordable version with an aluminium frame and carbon fork. The Genesis Tarn is a steel-framed short-travel hardtail with 120mm travel and 27.5in wheels, and is equipped with Maxxis Rekon tyres. The wheelset is lightweight with an internal rim width of 19mm that will take good sized rubber which means you could add some float to the ride with some high volume tyres.
So for riders who like to ride on tight trails, the Genesis 26″ V2100 Mountain Bike would be more suitable. At Genesis we have a history of doing things our own way, whether that’s making bikes we want to ride, or heading in a direction that might seem a little crazy at the time. It’s who we are and we embrace that as we share our latest range. In collaboration with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, we have rated bike helmets using the STAR evaluation system. Our impact tests evaluate a helmet’s ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of head impacts a cyclist might experience. Helmets with more stars provide a reduction in concussion risk for these impacts compared to helmets with less stars.
Again, this is not a problem for the beginner, but for a more experienced rider, this will be problematic. Let’s put it this way – this won’t be the last bike you ever buy. We’d also want to swap those out for something better pretty quickly.
The tires grip the asphalt well, and you can get up to a nice speed—so if you oversleep, you’ll have a good chance of still getting to work on time. If your tastes tend more toward a leisurely ride in the country, this bike is going to suit you well. This bike is aimed more at beginners or intermediate riders; advanced riders will want an upgraded model instead. It gives novice riders a good taste of what the higher- rated bikes can do. The Vapour is Genesis’ CX race machine and there are three models available (10, 20 and 30).
And as the brand has always insisted, a lower stand-up height would be more suitable for women. Smoothly adjusting the gears during the ride can have a good riding experience, especially on mountain roads with up and down hills. The 16 years old brand is mainly known for the conception of durable bicycles made of quality materials. Most of these bikes are reported by users as comfortable and reliable, some of which are record-breakers (bicycle touring in particular).
Overall, this bike is worth it when you look at it’s features and amazing low budget price. THese tires are very durable and come with long lasting rubber allowing for an aggressive ride and great value for your money. Whether you’re just commuting, training, or taking on hard trails, these tires are perfect for you and the terrain you will ride on. This bike can ride almost anywhere and will give you a comfortable ride that you can keep control of no matter the terrain. The Genesis MTB wheels are designed for you to keep your speed high even though rolling resistance is low.
The model number can be found on the lower portion of the seat tube just above the crank on a black and silver decal. We ask that you return your bike to the same place it was purchased. If bought at an outside retailer, be sure to have your receipt. If bought on our website, please have your order number on hand. Your bike frame & fork are protected under our Lifetime Warranty policy.
We reduce our carbon footprint by extending the life of every bike we take in through trades. Every bike that comes through our Trade in Program drives business genesis bicycles for local bike shops. Spread the cost of your new bike, helmet, safety equipment and accessories paying via instalments being taken directly from your wage.
You can even share reviews, comments and questions on mountain bikes. View and compare a huge selection of bikes from brands such as Trek, Specialized, Giant, Santa Cruz, Norco and more. The fork travel is 80mm, also made of aluminum, solid and reliable. In the actual use of mountain bikes, the stability of the fork determines the life of the bike. In 2020, an exciting development took place when Kristi and her team acquired Xtreme Dakota Bicycles from Brink’s.
