Capable on and off road, it was a gentle step away from our original Vapour and towards a bike that was intended to go further… but we never imagined quite how much further.

A rim brake version is available in addition to the disc option and both come with Shimano Ultegra 2×11 groupsets. The maximum tyre size on bike is 28c, typical for rim brake set ups but relatively narrow for a bike with discs. But for races that are solely on roads, this should be more than adequate. There are three different spec levels, with 10 being the entry level, 20 the mid-range and 30 being the top of this range.

The Genesis™ bicycle rack features concentric rings that park bikes safely and securely. The unique design of the Genesis™ is both visually appealing and able to provide double the parking space of typical serpentine racks.. As with the Day One, there are mudguards, rear pannier rack, and an internally geared rear hub for all weather dependability.
