If I was to describe this bike in three words it would be solid, capable and fun – the smaller wheels and frame geometry made this bike feel playful and nimble. It’s not the lightest bike or the cheapest but It just wants to be ridden and challenge what a gravel bike is capable of. I have just come off riding a Lauf Seigla round the ‘Mills and Moors’ winter rides and the Dirty Reiver and the two bikes are worlds apart. Giant is the largest manufacturer of quality bicycles in the world. What they owned in “build quality” they lacked in brand connectivity. Genesis was hired to help create a brand visual language to help tie the products into a cohesive whole in the global marketplace.
Product PresentationFrom free-ride, long-travel mountain models to fun city bikes, the presentation is a key attractor on the sales floor. This Genesis Fugio 10 is a fun, adaptable, robust bike for exploring local trails (did I mention it made me smile?) and for the occasional overnight trip or commuting. If you want an entry-level gravel bike that’s focussed on the fun element and is adaptable this could be the bike for you, although the Fugio 20 or 30 might be worth considering for the frame material and groupset upgrades.

The other contact points were all Genesis branded and I think that those are all personal choice, especially a saddle and I didn’t get on with the OEM one particularly well, but it was fine on shorter rides. Yes probably, but during some longer gravel rides I have definitely appreciated having genesis bicycles options to change bottle height to accommodate larger framepacks. Genesis bikes became renowned for their use of steel tubing and ethos for function over form.
