Ready for any escape, the Tour de Fer 40 comes jam packed with details and add-ons right out of the box.
We've done the tinkering, the fettling, and the "what if?" head scratching so you don't have to. This model is ready for a round-the-world tour straight from new bike day.
What happens when two best mates who have never bike packed before ditch work early on a Friday afternoon for a 25 hour adventure? You get the Tour de Nowhere. Josh and Khory set out into the Chiltern Hills from their doorstep with two fully loaded Tour de Fers to see what the bikepacking hype is all about. In the process they learn that you don't need to go far to find adventure and that bikepacking is all about the journey, not the destination. Expect stunning scenery, fully packed bikes, some daft challenges, a few pints of Guinness and a lot of laughs. All in 25 hours.
Adventure is meant to be spontaneous and the limiting factor should be your imagination, not what you’re riding.

Genesis is also the creator of a true cycling icon: the Croix de Fer. It’s the original adventure bike that’s taken ambitious riders literally all over the globe. Vin Cox rode 18,000 miles in 163 days on his to circumnavigate the globe and since then countless Genesis models have carried riders on the adventures from their wildest dreams; from Alaska to Patagonia, up 39 of Europe’s highest peaks, an adventure from Tehran to Kyrgyzstan and, yes, one British National Road Racing title thrown in to boot.
Since the Day One was released back in 2001, Genesis has come a long way. These days the range still heavily features the venerable Croix de Fer, but we’ve added an even more out-there bike in the Fugio, a monster with room for MTB tyres if you want to really push the limits and re-ignite the spirit of 1990s MTB riding with a drop-bar bike. Genesis also has a whole variety of utility bikes from the single-speed Flyer to the backswept Broadway via the rack-equipped Brixton and two E-Bikes in the Smithfield and Columbia Road. And let’s not forget the Tour de Fer, which is the spirit of a classic touring bike dressed in up-to-date components and the Longitude, a 27.5+ rigid MTB for those days when your imagination outweighs your common sense.
