Onto the tubeless set up… This WTB rim and tyre combo were a bit of a nightmare to get to sit, the internal rim profile has a deep channel that is v-shaped, the tyres sat very loosely on the rim and just would not allow the bead to become seated. I had to resort to using a friends compressor, which still required the tyres to be wrestled on with a tyre lever pulling the bead to the rim – although once on have been solid, even at quite low pressures. 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.

Yes probably, but during some longer gravel rides I have definitely appreciated having options to change bottle height to accommodate larger framepacks. The Genesis Fugio 10 sits at the bottom of the Fugio range, replacing the steel framesets found on the Fugio 20 (SRAM Apex 1x) and genesis mountain bike 30 (Shimano GRX 1x) with aluminium, but retaining the carbon fork found across the range. However, through our online retail partner Freewheel, you are able spread the cost of your new bike via a finance scheme. For more information please see the Freewheel finance page here.

The Genesis Fugio 10 is a great entry level gravel bike spec’d with 650b wheels, big tyres, plenty of mounting points and guaranteed smiles. The Feather is an all-purpose single-speed commuter or urban utility bike that might just be the most fun bike you’ve ever ridden. A flip-flop hub puts a fixed gear cog on one side and a freewheel on the other so you can choose your riding style. Genesis Bikes are a British cycling brand with a heritage of building the kind of bikes that they want to ride themselves. The kind of bikes that make you dream of your next adventure no matter the size.
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 genesis mountain bike suited to touching up stone chips in discreet areas. Private sellers can now sell their bikes directly on the Bicycle Blue Book marketplace. I recently got a cash back rebate of $130 from Dubli Online Shopping Mall.
Our team of experts is here to help you with the installation of your bicycle assembly. We also have an article on Mongoose Fat Tire Mountain Bikes if you are interested to compare which one you like more. The geometry encouraged me to ride downhill faster than I have with other gravel bikes and the smaller wheel size made handling the more unexpected larger rocks a breeze.
Unfortunately we do not range Genesis branded components for after sale. It’s really hard to give safe and accurate technical advice over the internet! We’d always advise going to your local Genesis dealer, where they can see the bike and diagnose any technical or mechanical issues that you’re having with your bike. We may be able to supply a digital file of the decal you need but you will need to prove you own the bike. However, we do have a list of nearest-match paint codes that you can download here.

I was pleased to see the TRP Spyre callipers supplied with compressionless housing – this meant they worked well and were able to control the breaking down some of the steeper trails, obviously with less modulation than a hydraulic equivalent. 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. In 2019 Genesis became aware of a potential problem involving the durability of Samox AF-13 single speed chainsets, specified on certain Day One models.
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.

All our frames are put together by hand in batches and then assembled before being shipped over to our warehouse. 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. Genesis bikes became renowned for their use of steel tubing and ethos for function over form. If there are any issues with your bike, return it for a full refund or receive a replacement bike for free. 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. We recommend noting down your frame number (located on the underside of the Bottom Bracket) and using one of the many online services available.
