The Genesis Fugio 10 in Green is the "hooligan" of the Genesis gravel lineup. While the Croix de Fer is built for steady miles and touring, the Fugio is designed for "gravel drifting"—shorter, more technical rides, forest singletrack, and aggressive urban commuting. By utilizing a double-butted ALX8 6061 Aluminium frame, Genesis makes the Fugio more accessible and lightweight than its steel counterparts without losing the fun-loving geometry that defines the series. The Green finish is often a deep, earthy forest tone, perfectly matching its rugged, off-road intentions.
The defining characteristic of the Fugio 10 is its 650b wheelset. Smaller than standard 700c road wheels, these allow for much higher-volume tires (47c) that provide a massive contact patch for grip and "float" over rough roots and rocks. Despite being an entry-level model, it doesn't skimp on modern standards, featuring 12mm Thru-Axles for precise handling and a full carbon fork that keeps the front end light and responsive.

Key Technologies
650b Utility: The smaller wheel diameter allows for "Road Plus" tires that offer the outer diameter of a 700c road tire but with the air volume of a mountain bike tire, providing incredible comfort and traction.
SRAM Apex 1x11: A dedicated 1x system that eliminates the front derailleur, reducing weight and mechanical complexity while providing a wide enough range for both steep climbs and fast flats.
Full Carbon Fork: Featuring a tapered steerer, this fork dampens high-frequency trail chatter better than alloy or steel, significantly reducing hand fatigue.
Versatile Mounts: Despite its aggressive nature, it includes mounts for front and rear racks, mudguards, and three bottle cages, making it a capable "overnighter" bikepacking rig.
