GENESIS SMITHFIELD is one of the brand new city bike from the GENESIS BIKES urban range 2016. Officially founded in 2006 under the name GENESIS, it is a small British brand based in the United-Kingdom that designed its first bike the "Day One" (still in the catalogue) in 2001. They are pretty famous for their steel bikes. Their global range now cover road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes.
GENESIS is sponsoring independent riders but it is also the bikes supplier of the Madison Genesis team (UCI Continental level).
The GENESIS SMITHFIELD share the exact same steel frame than the GENESIS BRIXTON both equiped with horizontal dropouts for a "gearhub" set up. Those 2 bikes are part of the new city bike range of GENESIS BIKES : BRIDGE. Made of Genesis MjölnirDouble-Butted Cromoly (Cromo 4130 designed to Genesis specifications) instead of Reynolds 520 used last year, it allow the brand to propose it with a better ratio price / equipment without sacrificing performances of the bike.
It also share the same idea of what must be a city bike : a low maintenance bike ready for any urban task and under any weather. This is why the GENESIS SMITHFIELD comes right out of the box with fenders and a rear rack. For braking correctly under any weather or any emergency stop, it is equiped with Shimano TourneyTX mechanical disc brakes with 2 x 160mm rotors.
Featuring a unique chainring and a unique sprocket, the rear hub is a SHimano Nexus 8 offering you low maintenance, efficiency, and reliable shifting...you can change several gears at a time – even when stopped ! Eight speed, are more than enough for a typical urban use so you can even think to extend you ride with the GENESIS SMITHFIELD during the week end for a ride on versatile road...flat, climb, downhill.
