Genesis Tour De Fer 40 (Queen Crimson)

The Genesis Tour De Fer 40 is a true touring bike for cycling holidays, multi-day trips, and journeys where a tent, sleeping bag, and other luggage come along on the bike. It is built to roll steadily and predictably even when loaded, and suits those who would rather start planning their next trip than wonder which accessories need to be fitted first.

Front and rear Luggage racks, full-length fenders, and a hub dynamo with fixed lights make the bike ready for touring from the outset. The Reynolds 725 steel frame provides a comfortable foundation for long days in the saddle, while Sun Ringle Rhyno Lite rims, 700 × 40 mm Vittoria Randonneur Tech tires, and quick releases front and rear create a robust, traditional touring setup.

Shimano Tiagra 2×10 with 46/30T up front and an 11–34T cassette offers a useful gear range for both longer stretches and climbing with luggage. The mechanical Promax disc brakes are easy to understand and service, which suits a bike built for real travel. In short, the Tour De Fer 40 is for those who want to pack their bags, set off, and let the journey take as long as it takes.
