Trek and Genesis are not dull bikes !!
Tongue firmly in cheek i hope
It’s more to do with them being a “standard” brand that people know. Genesis less so than Trek TBH.
Best to go for well known brand than niches one (like Surly).
Be careful when having a pop at Genesis. I did on one thread recently, saying that every Genesis I’ve ever ridden has been utterly leaden and inert and feels like it’s made of steel bar instead of tubing, and some people got jolly cross about it.
I was right tho.
