The Croix De Fer 725 is our workhorse. The superb Reynolds 725 tubeset and chromoly fork make a great basis for your next adventure steed. Croix de Fer has been a staple in the Genesis range since 2009, with the original description of ‘drop bars don’t always mean tarmac’. It’s fair to say that the industry has gotten wise to this fact since then, with ‘gravel’ very much being the in thing. However, we’ve always believed that the Croix de Fer is much more than that and its all-round capabilities across nearly all surfaces are what makes it so popular. The latest offering shares some similarities to the original design, but over time with new technologies and components becoming available to us, the bike has evolved into what you see today. The long-standing icon of the Genesis range returns with subtle changes improving on what is already a firm favourite for many riders.
Genesis Croix De Fer 725 Gravel Frameset with maximum tyre clearance of 700c x 47mm, the Croix De Fer can be adapted to suit a wide range of conditions. With numerous mounting points including highly versatile bottle positions, the Croix De Fer looks svelte with just a pair of bottles for a short ride and tidy when fully loaded for a week long journey. Anything Cage mounts on the fork legs and rack mounts on the frame further expand carrying capability. A fresh dropped seat stay design and a new ovalised top tube developed from our road racing heritage add vertical compliance aiding comfort for long days in the saddle. These updates bring a subtle modern aesthetic to the Croix De Fer's otherwise traditional silhouette.
