Genesis Croix de Fer 40 — Long-Distance Comfort Meets Modern Gravel

The Croix de Fer 40 is engineered for riders who demand a combination of classic steel comfort and modern component performance. Ideal for extended gravel rides and loaded touring, this model offers both endurance geometry and precise handling.

The Tech: Modernized Steel

• Steel frame tuned for comfort and stiffness balance

• Carbon fork reduces vibration for long rides

• Shimano mid- to high-range groupset for smooth, reliable shifting

• Hydraulic disc brakes for consistent stopping power

• Multiple mounts for racks, fenders, and water bottles

The Benefit: Ride longer, carry more, and experience the smooth, forgiving ride that steel delivers without sacrificing modern performance.

The "Sag": Slight frame flex and compliant tyres absorb road chatter, keeping your hands and wrists fresh even after hours in the saddle.

Why It’s Different

1. Endurance Geometry: Comfortable position for long days on the bike

2. Reliable Components: Shimano drivetrain and disc brakes ensure confidence in all conditions

3. Touring & Gravel Ready: Perfect for bikepacking or multi-day adventures
