The Genesis Mantel 20 hardtail mountain bike is a lightweight XC machine for riders who favour a fun and lively ride. It's stable enough for new riders and playful enough to make even the most experienced shredders smile.
With a 30T high modulus carbon frame, dedicated Fox XC race forks, 29er wheels and a great value specification list, the Mantle 20, is here again to take your XC and long distance off roading to a new, faster level. First up amazing is the awesome Fox Step Cast Performance 100mm fork. After years of progressively fatter, longer forks, Fox have dropped the travel to exactly what marathon riders need, cut away unnecessary material from the lower legs and made the whole package narrower and more svelte, without sacrificing control. 29er wheels have been proven to roll faster than any other size on every circuit from marathon to full on downhill, so they are the obvious choice for a bike with speed and comfort at its heart. The DT Swiss M1900 Spline wheels that Genesis have chosen for the job make every other wheel in their class look heavy and ungainly, while the DT hub at their centre wouldn't look out of place on a bike twice the price. The gearing choice is also first rate, with Shimano SLX 11 speed, not in its second iteration, proving that 1X11 can be light, functional and affordable all at once. The finishing kit on the Mantle 20 is no less impressive, with Race Face bars and seatpost, an awesome Fizik saddle and faster-than-light Maxxis Forekaster tyres rounding off a truly impressive spec list on a carbon bike at this price point. For riders looking for speed, comfort and immediate peddling response, the Mantle 20 is your ticket to races, big rides and marathon victories.
