Day One Disc SRP£699.99

We showed a prototype, conceptual version of this bike on our blog in Summer 2011, and never really had any intention of putting it into production. However, that single blogpost generated such a huge level of interest and had Genesis fans literally begging us to make this bike, we had to oblige! It’s quite simple really, a disc-specific, singlespeed version of our Day One 'cross bike.

Lovely clean lines and the perfect bike for a 2 hour Sunday blast down bridleways, woodland trails and country lanes. Singlespeed, well, you either get it or you don’t. Here at Genesis we’re big fans of the ol’ ‘one gear’ and believe there is no purer way to ride.

It may not be the bike you ride day in day out, but in the darker months of the year you’ll find yourself pulling this bike out the shed time and time again. Ride it all through winter and come Spring you’ll be strong as an Ox. Lightweight, no fuss and with very low maintenance – Day One Disc, simplicity defined

Reynolds 520 Steel

Features

Reynolds 520

Using the same alloy as Reynolds 525 butted cromoly tubing but made under license for Reynolds in Taiwan to their same exacting standards and high quality. Reynolds 520 tubing enables affordable and easier access to a Reynolds steel-framed bicycle.

Avid BB7

There's good reason Avid BB7's are widely regarded as the best mechanical disc brakes on currently on the market - lightweight, ample stopping power and plenty of adjustability for ease of setup and maintenance.

Rack & Mudguard Ready

Large clearances and eyelets for full-length mudguards and a rear rack mean the Day One morphs quickly and effortlessly into an all-weather load carrier.
