Genesis Croix De Fer 50 2021 Bike

Our all-new full-build Reynolds 853 Croix de Fer 50 aims to hit every mark.

Probably the most popular and widely used of all of Reynolds’ performance-orientated steel offerings; 853 hits that
sweet spot of performance, weight and cost. Accept no imitations – every tube is 853 creating that unmistakable ride
quality!

It’s matched to our full carbon CGR1 fork that saves around 900-grams over the steel variant, keeping weight low,
handling keen and features bottle/Anything Cage mounting points.

We’ve continued that trend throughout the build, using quality components that are proven and will stand the test of
time.

Shimano’s GRX groupset has become a go-to for gravel bikes, providing dependable shifting, myriad gearing options and
longevity at a variety of performance levels.

We’ve chosen their RX600 double chainset with 46/30T chainrings, paired to an 11-34 Tooth cassette, which keeps the
Croix
competitive on road and off.

The shifters, hydraulic brake callipers and derailleurs all come from the top-tier RX-810 lineup, saving a little
weight
and delivering increased shifting and braking performance.

At the rear of the bike, there’s the ability to run a 45mm tyre on the provided 700c rims, while at the front you can
use up to a 40mm tyre. If you’d prefer to run a 650b wheelset, it’s 44mm and 40mm.
Thru-axles front and rear, tubeless ready rims and tyres, flat mount disc brakes, a third bottle mount and rack and
guard mounts complete the package.
