Less than a month before release, Genesis has finally released details and images for their 2010 lineup. 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 models feature an ALX-9 aluminium frame. However, this comes at a price. The cheapest of the two models, the Aether 10, costs £599.99 and features quality parts from Shimano and Sora. To go for the next up model, the Aether 20, it will cost another £200 on top of the Aether 10. Part of the £799.99 price tag goes towards paying for the mix of Shimano Tiagra and Sora parts that the bike is made of.
Vapour is the next bike in their 2010 lineup. This model features an ALX-9 6069 aluminium frame and will cost £849.99. To go alongside your lightweight frame, you also get a mix of Shimano Tiagra and Sora parts, plus a new front hanger mount, designed by Genesis to supply better braking.
The Flyer is the third bike on the 2010 lineup. This one is a singlespeed bike and features a number of stylish bonuses. This particular model features a white chain, chrome cable clips, all attached to a Reynolds 520 steel framework. This good looking bike is alot less than it looks, at only £599.99. One odd thing about this bike is that is comes with nothing to attach your bike accessories, I guess Genesis must have assumed that if you own one of these, you don’t sweat through your cycle clothing.
The road bikes announced were just a side to your main course, the huge array of mountain bikes announced. The first one is the Core which comes in two varieties. The Core is available as the Core 40 for £999.99 or the Core 50 for £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.
For a cheaper mountain bike, you should be looking towards the iO. There are two different version, the eight speed one which costs £1,099.99, or the cheaper, singlespeed version for £599.99. Both of these models come with a standard Reynolds 520 steel framework.
The final bike in the lineup is the Altitude, and 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. If we overlook the 4th model and jump straight to the impressive Altitude Ti, also the most expensive model. The Ti comes with a titanium frame and a price tag to match, £2,799.99.
