If you are a customer who is looking to order a bike through your local Transition dealer or through the Transition Factory Outpost Store you will want to reach out to them directly. Although whenever my wife drags me to WalMart, I make it a point of taking pictures of the bikes that are assembled incorrectly. At Genesis we have a history of doing things our own way, whether that’s making bikes we want to ride, or heading in a direction that might seem a little crazy at the time. It’s who we are and we embrace that as we share our latest range.
But, being assembled improperly is half the battle when buying a “Big Box Brand” bike. That if you are not an avid cyclist with basic bike skills can cost you as much as the bike to get repaired. So why even bother if you want a bike that you can ride and will last more than a few rides before having catastrophic failure.

Sure, anything that gets you riding is a plus, but as mentioned before you get what you pay for. If you order directly from us you can watch this video to see how the bike will arrive to you. If you order it through one of our local dealers, then the bike will come assembled and ready to ride.
That’s not something we usually find on the typical full squishy mountain bike, but we don’t usually shop for bicycles where most people buy diapers and groceries. V2100 from Genesis Bicycles is just what the doctor ordered for on and off-road exercise, and fun. All this set up with a comfortable riding position featuring a padded saddle and rise handlebars will keep you out of the chiropractor’s office. Before anyone gets concerned about the shipping weight of over forty pounds, don’t panic. Actual weight of the Genesis V2100 is in the pound range, depending on the accuracy of your scale. It wouldn’t be too much work to bring that down a bit by swapping the heavy steel riser bar for an aluminum one.
However, the SIDLuxe Ultimate and SIDLuxe Select + that we spec on the Spur both have a max pressure of 325psi. Now, if you plan on riding down Pike’s Peak, even the $1600 bike fall apart. I’ve been an owner for over 2 years and have only had to do normal maintenance and fixing.
This may have been done on purpose, to match the out of true Promax disc brake rotor. Speaking of which, be prepared to spend time messing with the drivetrain. Although it’s from Shimano, the 3×7 shifters and derailleurs have more than enough slop that your LBS may simply refuse to work on it, knowing they will never be able to get it to shift smoothly and consistently. With a slogan like genesis bike “Excellence Begins Here”, there was no way we could pass up the chance to review the Genesis V2100 mountain bike. This $149 full suspension, 26″ bike has it all – aluminum frame, at least one disc brake, Shimano drivetrain, and even a padded seat. As an added bonus, it includes a full set of front, rear, pedal, and wheel reflectors, so you can be in compliance with local vehicle codes.

People like to trash talk this inexpensive bike, but i have owned one for 2 years, and short of buying a more comfy seat, have had no problems with. I ride mostly dirt and gravel backroads and trails in oregon. I figure if it does break, i can shell out another hundred fifty for a new one rather than several hundred to repair a thousand dollar bike.
The model number can be found on the lower portion of the seat tube just above the crank on a black and silver decal.
