Vapour (2010-2011), RRP £849.99

Genesis says

A cyclo-cross bike is a very versatile bike when taken away from the winter chill, the course tapes and the high heart rates. Are you looking for your hour in hell or just 30 minutes of escaping it all on the ride home? The triple-butted 6069 ALX-9 heat-treated aluminium frame and carbon fork makes the Vapour a race-ready frameset. Shimano takes care of the gearing to keep everything moving until you have to pick it up and run. Light and more rugged than a road bike plus useful frame fittings, the added comfort and cross-terrain ability means the Vapour is a bike for roamers as well as racers.

About Genesis

We expect a lot from our bikes in the UK. We make unusual choices in terms of what to ride, why, and when to ride it. We have creative ideas of what a proper ride should consist of.

Go outside the UK and riders might not appreciate our reasons for wanting a long-fork hardtail or single-speed bike. Few others would choose rugged capability over race-replica weight. A bi
