I’m honestly not sure if it was just my bike, or if all of these bikes are that way, but it gave just enough, but not too much suspension in the rear. It was sub $200 and offered a lot for the price, as we will talk about here in a moment. The bike also offers a full suspension, which means you have shocks in the front and rear of the bike. The Genesis Incline is the bike I have the most experience with between the two bicycles, as I ended up with the Schwinn around the time the snow began to fly, and the cold moved in. This bike MTB 26″ x 2.1″ Tires can handle turns more nimbly.
An early, 650b Ritchey mountain bike, since retro-fitted with drop handlebars. He was into his niche of independent thinkers, and he had a bike with a brazen white decal that he custom made on the top tube that said “No Campagnolo”. Back in the early and mid-seventies, having a bike that said No Campagnolo was sacrilege. His bucket-list goal was to ride every dirt road in California, and he wanted to do it on his Woodsy bike. It’s a little bit bling but positivly understated compared to Blytheys.. Which lets be honest, would have been ‘pretty trick’ if he’d not let a pissed up Rob Hayes loose on it.
The biggest complaint with this bike is that you can’t upgrade much on it. 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. With a new bike, I don’t think the front forks should be squeaking. I wasn’t totally sure if that was just how it was, or if they were actually bad.
Hard work – a backbreaking production schedule and prodigious output – is the catalyst that has turned good ideas into innovative and beautiful finished products and commercial success for the Ritchey brand. Some of the concepts that Ritchey has turned genesis mountain bike to gold were his own, original ones, and others were appropriated from his peers and sometimes rivals in the bicycle industry. Whomever they came from, Ritchey is quick to acknowledge the ideas and inspiration that others have given to him.
“Thank you @genesisbikesuk for letting me go wild with this bike!! And if any of you were wondering what the extra part on the head tube is… the genius @robhayles1 added a little bit of carbon to hide my cables. Genesis bikes are manufactured by Genesis Bicycles, a company specializing in producing affordable bikes for various cycling disciplines, including mountain biking, road genesis mountain bike cycling, and urban commuting. It’s a little bit of a waste if you’re not going to let it loose in the wild every now and again. The V2100 is designed for moderate to intermediate trails and handles the bumps pretty well. That being said, it’s better to stick to trails with less gravel; you should switch out the tires if you plan on tackling trails with really gravelly surfaces.
