BikeRadar was at Sportline’s yearly open doors event yesterday to look at the new 2017 range of bikes from Genesis. Emerging from the warren of roundabouts that is seemingly all of Milton Keynes, our intrepid team were refreshed to see that the new range features a lot of jazzy new colours.
One of the highlights of the show was undoubtedly the new 2017 Datum. Largely unchanged from the current model, changes are mostly limited to aesthetics with Genesis introducing some very cool new paint jobs across the board.
In keeping with market trends in the ever-popular gravel/all-road/adventure/#gnarmac sector, tyre widths have remained plump with 32mm Clement Strada USH specced throughout. Should you desire a dry bum in your life, the Datum will also accept full cover, 45mm wide mudguards.

And as expected, the bikes have also received slight upgrades to the groupsets and a women’s specific model has also been introduced into the lineup.
Datum 10
The range starts with the Datum 10 at £1,899.99, which weighs in at a claimed 9.6kg. For 2017, Genesis has dropped the TRP Hy/Rd brakes found on last year's model and has opted to equip the new bike with the new, full hydraulic Tiagra 10-speed groupset, making for a much cleaner looking bike overall.
Datum 20
