Genesis Croix de Fer 20 Flat Bar (Blue Fighters)

For many, this is almost the ultimate commuter bike. You get the dependable steel frame of the Croix de Fer platform, wide tires, and the option to fit fenders and a rack - but with a flat handlebar that makes the bike more relaxed, easy to control, and perfectly suited to everyday use.

It works just as well riding through town on a rainy Tuesday as it does on the gravel roads on your way home when you don’t quite want the ride to end. The flat bar gives you a good view of traffic, stable control at lower speeds, and a riding position that many find more natural than drop bars for everyday cycling.

At the same time, it’s still a Croix de Fer. That means it’s not limited to commuting. With 45 mm tires, hydraulic disc brakes, and a Shimano CUES 1x11 drivetrain, it offers enough comfort, grip, and gear range for gravel roads, winter rides, lighter loads, and longer detours.

Choose the Croix de Fer 20 Flat Bar if you want a commuter bike that feels built for real-world use, not just for the shortest route from A to B. A bike for those who want everyday practicality, a steel frame, wide tires, and the freedom to make the ride home a little longer than planned.
