Less than a month before release, Genesis has finally released details and images for their 2010 lineup. Despite the bikes being the 2010 range for Genesis, they are actually released this coming September so you don’t have to wait as long as initially thought.
For the new year’s range, Genesis has entered the road bikes market once again. The first bikes up on the list are the Aether 10 and Aether 20 racing bikes.
Designed mainly for daily commuters, the Aether is perfect for city travel. Both feature ALX-9 aluminium frames as well as carbon-legged forks. However, everything comes at a price and this is no exception. The cheaper of the two bikes, the Aether 10, will set you back £599.99 and features a mix of new Shimano 2300 and Sora parts. To go for the next up model, the Aether 20, it will cost another £200 on top of the Aether 10. Part of the £799.99 price tag goes towards paying for the mix of Shimano Tiagra and Sora parts that the bike is made of.
The next bike is the Vapour. This bike will cost you around £850, which is justified as it features an ALX-9 6069 aluminium frame. To match the new lightweight frame, you also get a newly designed front hanger mount which has been designed to make braking more positive, according to Genesis.
The third bike on the lineup is the Flyer. This one features an extensive range of stylish features, not to mention being a singlespeed bike. This particular model features a white chain, chrome cable clips, all attached to a Reynolds 520 steel framework. This amazingly good looking bike will cost you £599.99, not a bad price really. However, this bike is missing bottle bosses, allowing you to attach bike accessories, I can only assume that Genesis assumed that anyone riding this bike couldn’t possibly sweat through their cycle clothing.
Along side this array of road bikes revealed also came a range of improved mountain bikes. The first one is the Core which comes in two varieties. The cheaper model is the Core 40 for £999.99 and then the higher priced Core 50 for £1,199.99.
The next one up is the Alpitude costing £1,699.99, not to be mistaken with the Altitude, features a Reynolds 853 steel frame, perfect for long trails.
If you’re looking for a relatively cheap mountain bike, the new iO is the best suitted. This bike comes in two different versions, the singlespeed, costing £599.99, or the eight-speed version for £1,099.99. Both versions come with a Reynolds 520 steel frame.
The last bike in the list is the Altitude, despite having 5 different variations. The lowest priced models, the Altitude 00, priced at £799.99, and the Altitude 10, priced at a more expensive £999.99, both come with a Reynolds 520 frame. As the altitude number goes higher, so does the price, the next up is the Altitude 20. This model features a high quality Reynolds 853 steel frame and will set you back a whopping £1,449.99. If we overlook the 4th model and jump straight to the impressive Altitude Ti, also the most expensive model. This final model is the most expensive at £2,799.99 and it comes with a titanium frame.
