Fast and light yet capable of
handling any Trail Centre's Black Runs, with the Core you can have it all in one package.
For 2011 Genisis has taken the triple-butted ALX-9 6069-T6 Core 40 and 50 frames a step
further. Using the geometry tweaks developed while working on the
Latitude Ti and 853 they've got the best out of the new generation of tapered steerers
and bolted 20mm axles on light 120mm forks.

To us, the definition of UK hardtails
is this mix of technical handling ability, comfort and lightweight, offering complete
all-round performance. The Core 40 takes this definition to
the trail. Upgrades over the Core 30 are a lighter triple-butted ALX-9 frame with
tapered headtube, a Recon Gold fork with tapered fork steerer plus bolted 20mm front
axle for a new level of handling accuracy, a Shimano external bearing crankset
and Deore shifter / SLX rear mech / Alex XCR10 rim.
