The perennial favorite among gravel bikes

The Genesis Croix de Fer was developed at a time when the term "gravel bike" didn't even exist for this type of bicycle. And when you think about it, the original name "Adventure Bike" is even more fitting for this versatile all-rounder from the English brand. Vin Cox set the world record for a circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle on this bike in 2009, demonstrating that the Croix de Fer could withstand even greater stresses. Since then, it has served as a model for countless gravel bikes, and the geometry of this all-rounder has thrilled countless riders.
We at Mütze have been fans for years and have already witnessed several updates. The "Blue Unlimited" model, in blue with pink logos, again comes with the tried-and-tested Reynolds 725 tubing, offers thru-axle mounts front and rear, flat-mount brake mounts, and 47mm more tire clearance than its predecessor. The frame remains a true all-rounder, whether for bikepacking, as a robust gravel racer, as a commuter machine, or as a flat-bar off-road all-rounder – the build possibilities are endless.
The frameset comes with matching thru-axles and a Genesis headset. Stem and seatpost are not included.
In addition to the Reynolds 725 version, the frame is also available in a stainless steel version made of Reynolds 931 for €2999 and in a titanium version for €3199. Availability of these frames is available upon request.
We always have several complete Croix de Fer bikes set up in our shop so you can take them for a test ride. A visit is definitely worthwhile. If you'd like to buy online and are unsure about your correct size, we're happy to help you by email or phone. The frame has a relaxed geometry, so in many cases we recommend the smaller of the available sizes. For example: at 1.83m tall, size M; at 1.70m tall, size XS.
