The Tour de Fer range from Genesis are the bikes that were designed with exploring the world in mind. Built to carry expedition-ready loads smoothly and sedately wherever you choose to go. That said, the Tour de Fer's are equally at home with the work commute or carrying all the provisions for a weekend picnic with friends and family. The Tour de Fer 10 Flat Bar is the more affordable version with a more upright position.
Without doubt there are faster, racier more exciting bikes out there but the Tour proudly claims to be none of these, delivering a solid, no-fuss, reliable ride day after day without complaining.
The Tour 10 Flat Bar is based around Genesis's own comfortable, strong double butted chromoly steel frame and fork and kitted out with the excellent value for money Shimano Alivio groupset. The triple chainset and 9 speed 11-32t cassette provide ample gearing for fully laden hilly routes without spinning out while enjoying the downhills. Combine the frame with cable disk brakes and the infamous, almost-puncture-proof Schwalbe Marathon tyres and you have security, comfort and durability providing maximum ride enjoyment.
The Tour de Fer range all come pre-loaded with full length mudguards (indespensible, let's face it), Tubus rear rack, front rack fixings and three mounted bottle cages. All you need are some panniers, bottles and a plan and the Tour 10 will be more than happy to oblige. #letsgotouring
