If you’re looking for a bike that can handle endless miles of gravel, tarmac, and dirt roads without complaint, the Genesis Croix de Fer 10 is a modern steel classic. Known for its legendary ride quality, the Croix de Fer 10 combines steel’s natural compliance with endurance-focused geometry, making it ideal for long-distance riding or weekend bikepacking.
The Tech: Steel Frame & Gravel Geometry
-
Steel tubing: Smooths out chatter and vibrations
-
Carbon fork: Optional for additional front-end compliance
-
Wide-range drivetrain: Easily climbs hills and keeps you rolling on mixed terrain
-
Multiple mounting points: Supports racks, fenders, and multiple bottle cages
The Benefit: The combination of a steel frame and endurance geometry delivers a ride that feels forgiving over rough roads while still being efficient for long distances.
The "Sag": The steel frame flexes slightly to absorb trail and road vibrations, giving your hands, wrists, and shoulders relief during long rides.
