Introduction
The Genesis Longitude is a steel rigid MTB designed for off-road travel, demanding terrain, and real load-carrying use. It is not an evolved gravel bike, but a purpose-built platform made for remote tracks, deserts, forest roads, and routes where stability and reliability matter more than speed.
The Mjolnir steel frame and rigid chromoly fork deliver a solid, predictable ride even on rough ground, while the 27.5+ setup with high-volume tires increases traction, comfort, and control in more demanding conditions.
The WTB i35 rims and compatibility with 29” wheels up to 2.4” make the Longitude especially versatile: it can be configured to maximize flotation and grip, or to improve rolling efficiency and long-distance autonomy.
Summary
Steel rigid MTB adventure bike designed for off-road travel, load carrying, and demanding terrain, with a stable, high-volume 27.5+ platform.
The Genesis Longitude combines durability, mechanical simplicity, and broad wheel compatibility to deliver a reliable and versatile bike for remote routes and variable conditions.
Why it’s a Longitude
Rigid MTB platform designed for expeditions and real-world use on demanding terrain
Chromoly steel frame and fork: durable, repairable, and built for long-term use
27.5+ configuration with i35 rims: optimal support for high-volume tires
29×2.4 compatibility: two distinct setups, from maximum comfort to improved rolling efficiency
Shimano Deore 2x10 drivetrain: wide gear range for loaded touring
Multiple mounts for racks, bags, and cages on both frame and fork
Key strengths
Extreme reliability: a simple, solid platform ideal for remote environments
True versatility: the option to switch from a 27.5+ setup to 29” wheels
High comfort and traction thanks to wide tires
Stable geometry: predictable handling even under heavy load
The Longitude is one of the few remaining platforms that still stays truly faithful to the idea of a “simple but complete” expedition bike. The 27.5+ format with wide i35 rims allows lower tire pressures and improves flotation on sand, deep gravel, and broken surfaces, enhancing both comfort and control.
At the same time, compatibility with 29” wheels up to 2.4” opens the door to a faster, less demanding setup for long-distance riding, making it a bike that can adapt to very different environments.
The 2x10 drivetrain is a pragmatic choice: less trend-driven, but extremely effective when riding loaded across variable terrain, where a wide and well-distributed gear range really matters.

Frequently asked questions about the Genesis Longitude
What type of bike is the Genesis Longitude?
It is a rigid adventure MTB designed for off-road travel and demanding terrain. It is closer to the MTB world than to gravel.
Is it suitable for bikepacking?
Yes, it is an ideal platform for multi-day bikepacking thanks to the mounts on the frame and fork and its load-carrying capacity.
What are the benefits of 27.5+ wheels?
They deliver more comfort, more traction, and greater stability on rough ground, sand, and deep gravel.
Can you run 29” wheels?
Yes, up to 29×2.4. This allows a faster, more efficient setup for long-distance riding.
