The Cores are our range of award-winning, hard riding 26inch alloy hardtails. For 2013 we stick with the same proven formula of dialled trail geometry combined with relaible performing componentry that's won the bikes many a glowing review and best-in-test accolade over the last few seasons. There's good reason why the Genesis Core is bike of choice for many UK trail centre hire fleets - an established modern classic on UK trails over the last 6 years.

We’ve focussed on getting the basics right – frames that offer confidence-inspiring handling, comfort and durability, together with components that can handle the riding that these frames inevitably inspire – not to mention adding the fun-factor that makes a bike stand out from a crowd. The backbone of this model is a 6061 double-butted aluminium frame combined with a 120mm Rockshox fork. A full, no-holds barred Shimano specification throughout including splined Octalink chainset, Centre-Lock hubs and hydraulic disc brakes will ensure longterm reliablity. The longer travel fork helps give extra confidence and overall the Core 120 is a bike that punches well above its weight and will help progress your riding.
