Speaking of which, be prepared to spend time messing with the drivetrain. The brake can be adjusted, and may offer a fair amount of braking power, but it’s difficult to locate replacement parts, as most brake shops don’t carry pads for the very bottom of the barrel components like this. This may have been done on purpose, to match the out of true Promax disc brake rotor. That’s why the majority of new owners reported that their Genesis V2100 was delivered with bent wheels, right out of the box. Yet a poorly assembled wheel with uneven spoke tension is far more likely to have issues. Some riders incorrectly assume that a lightweight wheel with a low spoke count is difficult to keep in true. Don’t count on an open end or adjustable wrench, as these nutted axles don’t have the best hardware either. So bring a box wrench with you wherever you go. Trailside, it would be a bit cumbersome to fix a flat on the Genesis V2100, since it isn’t equipped with quick release axles at either end. Luckily, this happened at home for most owners. Incorrectly installed tubes lasted only until they were inflated. We did note that in online reviews, the average owner spent an additional $80 or more to get their bike in working order. Of course, any weight savings from the bar swap would be offset when it comes time to replace the pedals (after about two rides or less), as they seem to have earned a reputation as the cheapest pedals ever. It wouldn’t be too much work to bring that down a bit by swapping the heavy steel riser bar for an aluminum one. Actual weight of the Genesis V2100 is in the 36-37 pound range, depending on the accuracy of your scale. Genesis V2100īefore anyone gets concerned about the shipping weight of over forty pounds, don’t panic.

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. 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. This $149 full suspension, 26″ bike has it all – aluminum frame, at least one disc brake, Shimano drivetrain, and even a padded seat. With a slogan like “Excellence Begins Here”, there was no way we could pass up the chance to review the Genesis V2100 mountain bike.
