Chipps offers his long term review on the Genesis CDF 931

Singletrack Mag Editor and all-round cycling legend, Chipps Chippendale recently made the switch to the updated Genesis Croix de Fer 931. Having ridden everything from the singlespeed Day One to a titanium Croix de Fer, Chipps was curious to try the updated Croix de Fer 931 frameset. After six months of hard use, here’s what he had to say:

“I’ve been impressed at how versatile the Croix de Fer 931 has been. The Croix de Fer 931 is a bike that looks like Ti, but with the ride of steel, a massively versatile build-up range and a chirpy ride that encourages some big days out.”

Chipps customised his Croix de Fer 931 with the Di2 2x12 GRX semi-wireless groupset, DT Swiss DiCut 1400 wheels, and enough bosses for bottles, bags and bikepacking adventures.

Six months in, it’s handled everything from 100km road rides to overnight mountain-pass missions and even a bit of mellow MTB. As Chipps puts it, "It’s been mighty capable so far."
