{"product_id":"genesis-croix-de-fer-30-gravel-bike","title":"Genesis Croix De Fer 30 Gravel Bike","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor 2026, the Genesis Croix De Fer 30 Gravel Bike gets its most thoughtful update yet: Genesis has swapped the previous Shimano GRX groupset for Shimano's newer CUES platform, prioritising long-term durability, easier servicing and consistent shifting under load. It's a deliberate move that re-positions the Croix de Fer 30 as a proper all-rounder again — equally at home on a Saturday gravel loop, a Monday commute, or a fully-loaded weekend tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the bike remains its Reynolds 725 heat-treated steel frame, matched to a chromoly fork and 12mm thru-axles front and rear. Steel does what aluminium and carbon can't: it takes the edge off rough surfaces, absorbs the buzz of a long day in the saddle, and lasts more or less indefinitely with basic care. The Shimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain pairs a 46\/32T chainset with an 11-39T cassette for a genuinely wide gear range — easy enough for steep loaded climbs, fast enough for road sections home. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors deliver confident all-weather stopping, and the tubeless-ready Amplitude G-100 wheels wrapped in 700x45c Maxxis Rambler tyres roll fast on tarmac while gripping confidently on gravel, dirt and damp British back roads. Finished in a bright signal-yellow paint that makes no apology for being seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReynolds 725 heat-treated steel frame — compliant, durable, repairable for life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis CrMo straight-bladed fork with 12mm thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain — built around Linkglide tech for serious durability under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46\/32T chainset paired with 11-39T cassette — wide gearing for loaded climbs and fast flat sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano BR-RS405 hydraulic disc brakes, 160mm rotors front and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplitude G-100 tubeless-ready alloy wheelset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxxis Rambler 700x45c TR tyres — fast-rolling and confidence-inspiring across mixed surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12mm thru-axles front and rear (100x12 \/ 142x12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartially internally routed for a clean look without service headaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull rack and mudguard mounts — genuine touring and commuting capability built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in size XS through XL — Genesis-typical inclusive sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright signal-yellow finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who want one bike that genuinely does everything — gravel days, daily commutes, credit-card touring, club rides on the road, light bikepacking, the lot. The Croix de Fer 30 is the sweet-spot model in the range: enough steel-frame soul and component quality to be a forever bike, with the new CUES drivetrain bringing serviceability and durability that suit the way most people actually ride. Particularly compelling if you're upgrading from an entry-level gravel or hybrid bike, or replacing a tired older Croix de Fer with something built to outlast the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Mortal Kumquat \/ X-Small","offer_id":57217087046005,"sku":"GN10911XS","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mortal Kumquat \/ Small","offer_id":57217087078773,"sku":"GN10911SM","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mortal Kumquat \/ Medium","offer_id":57217087111541,"sku":"GN10911MD","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mortal Kumquat \/ Large","offer_id":57217087144309,"sku":"GN10911LG","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mortal Kumquat \/ X-Large","offer_id":57217087177077,"sku":"GN10911XL","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/0599\/8379\/files\/genesiscroixdefer301.jpg?v=1779380204","url":"https:\/\/billybilslandcycles.co.uk\/products\/genesis-croix-de-fer-30-gravel-bike","provider":"Billy Bilsland Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
