So that’s what I do in a nutshell…. Genesis Equilibrium 30 Disc A capable, steel framed bike brought into the modern age thanks to it’s Carbon fork and Ultegra hydraulic groupset. Cycling Weekly Verdict Some might consign the likes of the Genesis Equilibrium Disc 30 to merely a winter bike. I would have been one of them until I felt the butter smooth ride quality. Against – Will be too heavy for some – A little sluggish on the off. Self-titled material snobs, Genesis happily welcome anything from carbon and titanium through to steel and aluminium for their frames. Its a quality that allows them to be versatile, and while Genesis is not the best known brand, in the UK it has quite the cult following, with most riders associating its bikes with winter training, and for good reason. But, is the Genesis Equilibrium Disc to expensive to considered a dedicated winter training bike? However, if youre not fussed about weight, and are looking for something comfortable and easy going, then the Genesis Equilibrium Disc is a great, comfortable ride for long days in the saddle. The steel framed bike is something of a beast and as far as bikes go you could consider it a tank, but thats all to its credit, and the frame feels totally bombproof. The Equilibriums frame is forged of 725 Reynolds, an improved variant of Reynolds famous 753 steel. Its a heat-treated steel that resists oxidation, much improving the longevity of your frame. The heat treatment also also allows the walls to be made thinner, keeping the weight down compared to other Reynold steel offerings. Either way, the ride quality of the bike is exceptionally comfortable, making it an absolute pleasure to jump on and ride. However, its not an all steel story and the Equilibrium Disc comes specced with a carbon fork, a neat touch to help keep the weight down. It also has the effect of ironing out any road buzz you might otherwise suffer through your hands. Specification With disc brakes, 28mm tyres and a steel frame, youd be forgiven for assuming the Equilibrium Disc 30 would be the perfect dedicated winter bike. But the inclusion of Shimanos mechanical Ultegra groupset gives the game away this is a bike capable of year long use, if you dont mind a weight penalty. The 28mm tyres are a match for that big, comfortable frame and help clarify that this was a bike designed to be ridden in comfort. Meanwhile, the frame is paired to an equally big handlebar which, despite its school bus looks, gives a very comfortable riding position and plenty of assured control. Our disappointments have since been allayed, with the full Shimano Ultegra groupset specced across the bike. Its a groupset weve spoken lots about, and its great, with good, clean shifting that doesnt fail and great disc brakes that keep you in control no matter whats on the ground. Some people might consider it an over-speccing for a winter bike, but well take it over 105 and its nice to see Genesis stepping the capable Equilibrium up to Ultegra level for those that do want a comfortable bike year round. Watch: eight things you didn’t know about disc brakes. Ride Its not just comfort that the Equilibrium Disc offers, though. Part of the ride quality is the assured stability that the bike gives. It feels incredible balanced thanks to those long, 420mm chainstays and the stretched wheelbase, akin to a limousine. Its not a fast, moveable bike but its turns are steady and easy to predict. It all helps create a great ride experience. Of course, akin to a limousine, the bike is a tad lumbering, however it rolls along nicely once up to speed and doesnt feel inefficient. There are plenty of riders that a heavy steel bike won’t particularly appeal. Equally, though, I think there are plenty that do, and for those that dont care about PRs or KOMs, then the Equilibriums ride quality is easily good enough to go the distance. The finishing kit is different, but both bikes are Ultegra level with the same wheels. However, the tubing wont be heat treated like it is with the Genesis Equilibrium 30 disc. Its also worth bearing in mind that you also dont get a carbon fork or disc brake with the Ribble, which will have made a big difference in the comfort of the Equilibriums ride. For us, the fact that Genesis has stepped the Equilibrium 30 disc up to Ultegra is great news.
