British
adventure brand Genesis has expanded its lineup with three new models,
including the all-new CDA Junior.
The CDA range
is designed for riders seeking a versatile and affordable bike that’s equally
at home on the daily commute or light gravel trails. The updated line-up now
includes the CDA 10, CDA 20, and the all-new CDA Junior – bringing the brand’s
spirit of adventure to riders of all ages.
Starting with the CDA Junior, this scaled down model is light, tough, easy to maintain and designed to inspire confidence on roads, trails, and towpaths. Genesis has worked hard to create a bike that will cater for the greatest range of heights from one platform.
Designed for riders between 140 and 157 centimetres tall,
the CDA Jnr is built to inspire young cyclists to explore further. Perfect for
forest trails, canal paths, and family bikepacking adventures, it features a
lightweight aluminium frame and fork engineered specifically for smaller
riders. The refined geometry, optimised for 24-inch wheels, ensures confident
and stable handling across varied terrain, while its compact design – with a
468mm effective top tube and 340mm seat tube – provides a comfortable,
confidence-boosting fit.
Genesis Product Manager, Sam Lawson said “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 24” gravel bike that delivers the same
performance, versatility, and adventure-ready features as our adult platforms.”
The CDA Junior frame is made from 6061 aluminium which
helps with weight whilst remaining incredible durable. The drivetrain is
microSHIFT Advent 1x 9 which offers easy maintenance and crucially a wide range
of gears for kids to use. The CDA Junior will retail at £749.99 / €899.00
Moving back
onto the adult bikes, the CDA 10 is set to be the ideal entry point into the
world of gravel and mixed-surface riding. Designed for commuters and weekend
explorers alike, it combines every practicality with proven off-road
capability.
Built around an
ALX 6061 aluminium frame and chromoly fork, the CDA 10 delivers a smooth,
confident ride on any surface. Shimano’s new ESSA 1 x drivetrain was the
obvious choice for ultimate simplicity keeping the maintenance low and access
to spares readily available. 45c Maxxis Rambler tyres provide a nice balance of
comfort, grip and control on both tarmac and trail with Sportline’s Amplitude
brand completing the build with its bars, stem and seatpost. The CDA 10 will
retail at £799.99 / €979.00.
Stepping up the
specification, the Genesis CDA 20 is built for riders who want more range,
control, and performance from their all-terrain bike. Sharing the same ALX 6061
aluminium frame and chromoly fork as the CDA 10, it adds higher-end componentry
for smoother shifting and stronger braking. A Shimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain
delivers a wide gear range for tackling varied terrain, while TRP Spyre
mechanical disc brakes with dual-piston actuation provide reliable stopping
power and a responsive lever feel. The setup is completed with 45mm Maxxis
Rambler tyres, a quality Amplitude finishing kit, and a comfortable Madison
Flux saddle. The CDA 20 will retail at £999.99 / €1199.00.

models are available to buy now from your local Genesis retailer. For more
