Some bikes earn a reputation. The Genesis Croix De Fer became a legend.
Long before gravel bikes became the hottest category in cycling, the Croix De Fer was proving its credentials on roads, trails, bridleways and continents. Its place in cycling folklore was cemented when adventurer Vin Cox rode a Croix De Fer around the world, setting a Guinness World Record and demonstrating exactly what this bike was built for—going anywhere and doing everything.
Whether you're looking for a capable gravel bike, winter trainer, bikepacking machine, commuter or cyclocross bike, the Croix De Fer remains one of the most versatile bikes ever produced.
