Genesis CDA: the aluminium gravel gateway that opened all-roads riding
Genesis’s CDA range put aluminium gravel within reach for UK riders, blending practical fit, mounts and tough kit into an affordable way onto lanes, towpaths and winter roads.
Where it came from
Why it works
- Aluminium frame built for durability rather than ultra‑low weight
- Clearance for properly wide tyres for lanes, tracks and towpaths
- Disc brakes suited to wet UK riding
- Multiple mounts for mudguards, racks and bottles
- Road‑friendly geometry that doesn’t feel alien to newcomers
