Croix de Fer 50 2026

The Genesis Croix de Fer 50 sits at the pinnacle of the legendary Croix de Fer range, combining the timeless ride quality of Reynolds steel with a premium gravel-specific build designed for riders who refuse to be limited by terrain. Whether you're tackling all-day gravel adventures, loading up for bikepacking trips or covering huge miles on mixed surfaces, the Croix de Fer 50 is built to excel.

At its heart is Genesis' renowned Reynolds 725 steel frameset, delivering the smooth ride feel, durability and character that has made the Croix de Fer one of the most respected names in gravel cycling. Paired with the lightweight Amplitude G200 carbon fork, the Croix de Fer 50 offers a perfect balance of comfort, responsiveness and capability, while reducing weight and increasing front-end precision. The fork also features internal dynamo routing and Anything Cage mounts, making it ideal for long-distance touring and adventure riding.

The complete Shimano GRX RX820 2x12-speed groupset provides outstanding performance across every type of terrain. With 46/30T chainrings and an 11-36T cassette, you'll have the gearing range to spin comfortably on steep climbs, maintain speed on fast gravel roads and carry luggage over long distances. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, predictable stopping performance in all weather conditions, giving you confidence when the route gets rough.

Rolling on the Amplitude G100 wheelset with Maxxis Rambler 700x45c tubeless-ready tyres, the Croix de Fer 50 is ready to tackle everything from smooth tarmac to technical gravel tracks. The generous tyre clearance, tubeless-ready setup and modern gravel geometry create a ride that feels stable, comfortable and efficient no matter where the adventure leads.

For riders searching for a premium steel gravel bike, bikepacking bike, endurance adventure bike or do-it-all gravel machine, the Genesis Croix de Fer 50 delivers an exceptional blend of performance, comfort and long-term durability. Quite simply, it's one of the finest gravel bikes Genesis has ever produced.
