Genesis launch the Vapour Carbon CX Cyclocross range

The biggest surprise to me at the launch of the Genesis Bikes 2017 range was the unveiling of the new Vapour Carbon CX Cyclocross bike. Not only is it a ‘cross bike but Genesis told me that it’s absolutely designed as a race bike rather than any other kind of off-road riding. The new bike […]
2016 Genesis Road bikes – New Datum, Delta and updates galore…

Recently I visited Genesis bikes to find out what they have in store for the coming year. I’ve been a fan of Genesis for quite a few years and was interested to know what they’d been working on – quite a lot as it turns out. Interestingly, the new models for 2016 represent 10 years […]
