Posted by andy graham onGenesis Tour de Fer 10 Flat Bar — Adventure, Upright
The flat-bar version of the Tour de Fer 10 is perfect for riders who want a more upright riding position while retaining the classic steel touring features. Excellent for commuting or mixed-surface touring, it balances comfort and control.
The Tech: Flat Bar Adaptation

The Benefit: Upright position improves handling in traffic and off-road while maintaining the smooth, vibration-absorbing ride of steel.
