The main quandary I have is this bike doesn’t quite know what it is. On one hand the bike wants to be ridden fast, through twisty terrain and down descents. Its spec’d with a cassette and a 42 tooth chainring which means it climbs well and has enough gear ratio to keep you moving on faster terrain without being under geared and the cable operated discs are capable enough to stop it. All this results in the fun ride that I have described in this review. On the other hand the mounting points demonstrate the designers want for this bike to be loaded up and used as a gravel / bikepacking set-up, I am not sure the gear ratios match this, as climbing with this bike fully loaded (and stopping going down) might be a bit of a challenge with the groupset ratio and cable actuated callipers.
All our frames are put together by hand in batches and then assembled before being shipped over to our warehouse. The Montane Icemen (Pete Sissons and Paul Cosgrove) underlined the bikes capabilities as they used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600-mile coastline of Iceland in 14 days. Genesis bikes became renowned for their use of steel tubing and ethos for function over form. If there are any issues with your bike, return it for a full refund or receive a replacement bike for free. The other contact points were all Genesis branded and I think that those are all personal choice, especially a saddle and I didn’t get on with the OEM one particularly well, but it was fine on shorter rides. We recommend noting down your frame number (located on the underside of the Bottom Bracket) and using one of the many online services available.
I have just come off riding a Lauf Seigla round the ‘Mills and Moors’ winter rides and the Dirty Reiver and the two bikes are worlds apart.

Our impact tests evaluate a helmet’s ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of head impacts a cyclist might experience. Helmets with more stars provide a reduction in concussion risk for these impacts compared to helmets with less stars. We’re experiencing a very high volume of orders during the Pre-Holiday Season.

Unfortunately we do not range Genesis branded components for after sale. It’s really hard to give safe and accurate technical advice over the internet! We’d always advise going to your local Genesis dealer, where they can see the bike and diagnose any technical genesis bicycles or mechanical issues that you’re having with your bike. We may be able to supply a digital file of the decal you need but you will need to prove you own the bike. However, we do have a list of nearest-match paint codes that you can download here.
