The Montane Icemen (Pete Sissons and Paul Cosgrove) underlined the bikes capabilities as they used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600-mile coastline of Iceland in 14 days.
I found I was right at the front during group rides, often buzzing past friends on the harsher terrain / wet muddy conditions. One particular group ride down an infamouse descent in horrible wet conditions I really let the bike go and it flowed over the terrain really well, although riding in conditions like that always reminds me of the advantages of an MTB front mudguard.

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 options to change bottle height to accommodate larger framepacks.

This is our complete known paint colour history – if it’s not listed then unfortunately we do not have a reference colour available. All colours listed are a closest match, but not exact, to the original and ideally suited to touching up stone chips in discreet areas. The best way to test-ride a Genesis is to contact your local Genesis dealer.
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 genesis bicycles 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.

The colourway is updated for this line-up and is fixed for each Fugio model, and the Fugio 10 comes in a green progressively fading to black colour with gold decals – quite 90’s inspired. The first Genesis bike was produced under the Ridgeback brand as the Day One model in 2001. Due to its popularity, Genesis became a label in its own right in 2006. With so many different variables this is an impossible question for us to answer properly! Please do head over to your local Genesis dealer to talk through price points, intended use and of course compatibility with the rest of your set-up.
