Genesis Bikes 2011 - Latitude, IO, IO ID, Alfine, Day 1, Day 01

Many of you will be aware of UK based distributor Madison, who bring many big brands into the UK - including (but far from limited to!) Shimano, Giro and Park Tools

They have several in house bike brands - Genesis offers high end MTB, commute, singlespeed, hub geared bikes and cyclocross. A little out of the ordinary, withough being too mad! Being UK based and only selling into the UK, Genesis Bikes have the kind of features we like to see here - decent tyre clearance, hub gears, tough steel frames, multi-use 'cross bikes... you get the idea! For similar ideas in full-suspension, Saracen are well worth a look, also from the Madison stable.

For 2011, the Altitude range is renamed Latitude (due to another brand using that name! These are the important ones for us, steel hardtails - ready to go out of the box, the main reason we took Genesis Bikes on in the first place! Look at the Alpitude for longer travel and even techier riding!

Genesis also offer the Day 01 range - in all sorts of setups, flat bar or drop, a firm fave here being the Day 01 Alfine, a cross/commute setup with cable discs and an 8-speed Shimano Alfine hub gear!

We've got details of models over on the Genesis Bikes page on our shop site

The Genesis website can be found here!

Genesis offer several models as frame only - so we can also offer our custom build service here - contact us for more details...
