Genesis Croix de Fer 853 frameset
The long-running favorite among gravel bikes
The Genesis Croix de Fer was developed at a time when the term gravel bike did not even exist for this type of bike. And if you look closely, the original name "adventure bike" fits the versatile all-rounder from the English brand even better. Vin Cox set the world record for a round-the-world bike ride on the bike in 2009 to show that the Croix de Fer can also withstand greater stress. Since then, it has been the model for countless gravel bikes, and the geometry of the all-rounder has thrilled countless riders.
We at the Mütze have been fans for years and have already seen a few updates. The new 2025 "Blue Unlimited" model in blue with pink logos comes again in the tried and tested Reynolds 725 tube set, offers thru axle mounts at the front and rear, flat-mount brake mounts and 47mm more tire clearance than its predecessor. The frame remains a jack of all trades, whether as a bikepacking friend or robust gravel racer, as a commuter machine or flat bar off-road all-rounder, there are no limits to the construction options.
The frameset comes with the matching thru axles and a headset from Genesis. The stem and seat post are not included.
In addition to the Reynolds 725 version, the frame is also available as a stainless steel version made from Reynolds 931 for €2999 and in a titanium version for €3199. Availability of these frames on request.
We always have a few complete Croix de Fer bikes set up in the Mütze so that you can take a test ride. A visit on site is therefore worthwhile.
