GENESIS Equilibrium

Genesis Equilibrium – four-season steel road bike with rim brakes

The Equilibrium has long been a cornerstone of the Genesis Bikes range, developed as a steel road bike built for real-world riding.
In this rim brake version, the Equilibrium retains a classic, functional setup aimed at year-round road use.

The Reynolds 725 heat-treated chromoly frameset combines durability, low weight and a refined ride feel on rough or broken tarmac. A steel fork maintains consistent handling characteristics and complements the overall balanced nature of the bike.

Model positioning

The Genesis Equilibrium (rim brake) is designed for:

• endurance road riding

• long-distance road use

• four-season riding with mudguards

• riders looking for a classic, comfortable and stable road bike

Compared to aggressive race frames, the Equilibrium features a more relaxed geometry, with a longer wheelbase and conservative steering angles, favouring comfort, stability and confidence over short-distance performance.

Ride setup and usability

Supplied with 700×30 mm tyres, the Equilibrium offers increased comfort compared to traditional narrow-tyre road bikes, while remaining firmly road-oriented.
The presence of mudguard and rack mounts allows the bike to be configured for commuting or light touring.

The Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain provides a proven, versatile gear range, while long-drop rim brakes ensure compatibility with full-length mudguards without compromising braking function.
