Genesis Bike Covers — Croix de Fer, Equilibrium & Vagabond

Genesis is a British brand known for steel road, gravel and adventure bikes — the sort that get ridden all year rather than saved for dry Sundays. A Croix de Fer or a Tour de Fer is usually somebody's commuter, tourer and weekend bike all at once, and bikes that get used that often tend to be parked where they are convenient: a back yard, a side return, a garden fence, a communal bike rack outside a flat.

Most of the range sits on the STASH or the URBAN, which are the same size as each other. The wider-barred adventure bikes step up to the XL / MTB.

Which BikeParka fits your Genesis?

Accessories change the shape a cover has to go over. Front and rear racks, panniers left on the bike, bar bags, mudguards, mirrors and aero bar extensions all add width or height, and a loaded Tour de Fer is a different job from a bare one. If you are close to a size limit, or you are not sure, send us your exact bike model and accessories and we'll check before you order.

All BikeParka covers are made from waterproof, seam-sealed ripstop fabric, and they're PFAS- and PFC-free. Adjustable toggles draw the cover in around the bike on windy days, and each one packs into its own Stuff Sac. The URBAN has built-in lock-through panels so cover and bike can be secured together; the STASH and XL / MTB have brass eyelets at the hem for threading a cable lock.

Which size cover?

Handlebar width is the measurement that matters most, so measure yours end to end before you choose. The STASH and the URBAN are the same size and fit standard bikes with handlebars up to 63cm — they differ in how they lock, not in how they fit, so choose between them on that basis. The XL / MTB takes handlebars up to 100cm and is cut for mountain bikes, trekking bikes, bigger frames and bulkier e-bikes. We also make a Kids / BMX cover for children's bikes and BMX up to 140cm long, 120cm high with handlebars up to 55cm, though it is not intended for small adult or folding bikes.

Genesis cover questions

Which cover fits a Croix de Fer?

The STASH or the URBAN. They are the same size and both fit standard bikes with handlebars up to 63cm, which covers the Croix de Fer. Pick the URBAN if you want the built-in lock-through panels so cover and bike can be secured together, or the STASH if you would rather thread a cable lock through the brass eyelets at the hem.

Does the Vagabond need a bigger cover than the Equilibrium?

Yes. The Equilibrium sits on the STASH or URBAN, but the Vagabond is a wider-barred adventure bike and takes the XL / MTB, which handles handlebars up to 100cm.

What about a Tour de Fer with racks and panniers fitted?

The Tour de Fer itself takes the STASH or URBAN. Racks and panniers left on the bike add bulk the cover has to go over, so if yours is set up for touring, send us the model and the kit you leave fitted and we'll check before you order.
