British bike brand Genesis has released the CDA Junior, a new addition to its gravel adventure bike range tailored specifically for smaller riders.
Genesis says its CDA range is designed for riders “seeking a versatile and affordable bike” that’s equally at home on your commute or light gravel trails. The CDA Junior now brings the brand’s “spirit of adventure to riders of all ages.”
Genesis has also revealed two new adult bikes, the CDA 10 and CDA 20, both costing less than £1,000.
Genesis CDA Junior
Genesis says its CDA Junior kids' bike is a “scaled down model” that’s light, tough and easy to maintain.
Instead of offering an age range, Genesis says the CDA Junior is suitable for riders between 140 and 157cm tall.
The bike has a lightweight aluminum frame and fork engineered specifically for young cyclists.
Genesis product manager, Sam Lawson, says: “The introduction of the CDA Jnr marks a new chapter for Genesis in children’s bikes. We understand how important the family side of cycling is, and that’s why we’ve created a purpose-built 24in gravel bike that delivers the same performance, versatility, and adventure-ready features as our adult platforms.”
The bike’s geometry is optimised for the 24in wheels. A 468mm effective top tube and 340mm seat tube are said to provide a comfortable and confidence-boosting fit.
Elsewhere, it has a Microshift Advent 1x9-speed drivetrain for easy maintenance and to provide riders with a wide range of gears. There are even bottle cage mounts, top tube mounts and fork mounts for accessories or bikepacking bags.
The bike will retail for £749.99 / €899.
Genesis CDA 10 and 20 adult bikes
Alongside the CDA Junior, Genesis has released two budget gravel bikes for adults, the CDA 10 and CDA 20.
Genesis says the CDA 10 is the “ideal entry point into the world of gravel” and combines practical features with “off-road capability”.
The £799.99 / €979 bike has an aluminium frame and chromoly fork, with Genesis promising a “smooth, confident ride on any surface”.
The CDA 10 features the new Shimano Essa 1x drivetrain to ease maintenance and ensure there’s a ready supply of spare parts available, alongside 45mm Maxxis Rambler gravel tyres.
While it has the same frame and fork as the CDA 10, the CDA 20 is “built for riders who want more range, control, and performance from their all-terrain bike.”
Instead of a Shimano Essa drivetrain, the CDA 20 has a Shimano Cues 2x10-speed drivetrain and TRP Spyre brakes with dual pistons for “reliable stopping power and a responsive lever feel”.
The bike is complete with the same Maxxis Rambler tyres and Amplitude finishing kit.
The CDA 20 will sell for £999.99 / €1,199.
