New 2010 Bike Lineup Revealed By Genesis
Details and images have finally emerged regarding the new 2010 bike lineup from Genesis. 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.
Genesis have decided to return to the road bike market this year with their 2010 lineup. The first bikes up on the list are the Aether 10 and Aether 20 racing bikes.
The well designed Aether is mainly suitted for cycle training or daily commuting. Both of these models will feature carbon-legged forks, as well as an ALX-9 aluminium frame. However, this comes at a price. 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. If you would prefer to go for the other model, the Aether 20, it will cost you another £200 extra. For your £799.99, you will get a mix of Sora and Shimano Tiagra parts.
The next bike in their lineup is called Vapour. This bike will cost you around £850, which is justified as it features an ALX-9 6069 aluminium frame. To go with the lightweight frame, you will also get a mix of 105, Tiagra and Sora parts, not to mention a new designed front hanger mount to make braking more ‘positive’.
The third bike up is the Flyer. This is a singlespeed bike and features a bunch of stylish looking features. This bike is made from a Reynolds 520 steel frame, with features such as chrome cable clips and a white chain. This bike will cost you £599.99, not a bad price for such a good looking city bike. However, this bike is missing bottle bosses, allowing you to attach bike accessories, it seems that Genesis assumes that people riding this bike don’t get thirsy or sweat through their cycle clothing.
The road bikes that Genesis announced were just a taster for the massive number of mountain bike models also detailed. The first mountain bike is the Core which has 2 different models. There is the Core 40 which will cost £999.99 and then there’s the more expensive Core 50 which costs £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.
The iO is the cheapest mountain bike on the 2010 lineup. There are two different versions, the singlespeed for £599.99, or the more expensive eight-speed version which costs £1,099.99. Both versions feature a high quality Reynolds 520 steel frame.
The final bike is the Altitude, however, it comes in 5 different models. The two cheapest models, the Altitude 00 (£799.99) and the Altitude 10 (£999.99) both come with a Reynolds 520 steel 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. Skipping the fourth model, the final and most expensive model is the Altitude Ti. This final model is the most expensive at £2,799.99 and it comes with a titanium frame.
