Genesis have released the first details and images of their new line up for 2010. Despite the bikes being the 2010 range for Genesis, they are actually released this coming September so you don’t have to wait as long as initially thought.

Genesis have decided to return to the road bike market this year with their 2010 lineup. To kick the new lineup off is the Aether 10 and the Aether 20 racing bikes .

The Aether bike has really been designed for the daily commuter. Both feature ALX-9 aluminium frames as well as carbon-legged forks. However, this all comes at quite a price. The cheaper of the two bikes, the Aether 10, will set you back £599.99 and features a mix of new Shimano 2300 and Sora parts. If you would prefer to go for the other model, the Aether 20, it will cost you another £200 extra. As part of your £799.99, your bike will feature a range of Shimano Tiagra and Sora parts.

The Selley policy: Leave the e-bikes alone. The true e-bike is one with working muscle-powered pedals and an electric battery assist. Thanks to dimwitted policy from the provincial government, the e-bike is being driven off the market in Ontario. Let them use bike lanes.
