Genesis Croix de Fer 20 725 (Diana Moss)

The Genesis Croix de Fer 20 is the natural all-rounder in the range: a steel bike for commuting during the week and heading out on gravel roads whenever the opportunity arises. The Reynolds 725 frame offers a lighter, more responsive feel than the entry-level model, while the Croix de Fer retains the stability and comfort that have made it so popular for gravel and touring.

The 45 mm-wide Maxxis Rambler tires provide good grip and comfort when the asphalt gets rough or turns to gravel. Shimano CUES 2x10 with a 46/32T crankset and an 11–39T cassette offers a wide gear range for hilly roads, commuting, and riding with a load. TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes are easy to adjust and service, and both the wheels and tires are tubeless-ready.

Mounts for fenders, a rack, and bottle cages, along with dynamo lighting cable routing, make the Croix de Fer 20 easy to adapt for commuting, bikepacking, and longer rides. Choose the Genesis Croix de Fer 20 if you’re looking for a versatile gravel bike in Reynolds 725 steel that can do a bit of everything without feeling overbuilt.
