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!

However, we do have a list of nearest-match paint codes that you can download here. 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.
The store’s website currently lists new bikes from Trek, Electra, Salsa, All-city and Jamis. “We’re excited for our next chapter, especially because we know Trek will continue to serve you in even bigger and better ways while sticking to the same core principles of treating people like family and delivering outstanding customer service,” Hinchcliff wrote. We ask that you return your bike to the same place it was purchased. If bought at an outside retailer, be sure to have your receipt.

Credited with creating the first-ever gravel bike, are designed to take you on adventure — off-road, on-road, or wherever your heart desires. The main quandary I have is this bike doesn’t quite know what it is. On one hand the bike wants to be ridden fast, through twisty terrain and down descents. Its spec’d with a cassette and a 42 tooth chainring which means it climbs well and has enough gear ratio to keep you moving on faster terrain without being under geared and the cable operated discs are capable enough to stop it.
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. Packaging SystemGenesis created a holistic packaging system that was impactful and highlighted specific features across a product offering that reached almost 3000 SKU’s. Obviously I am coming from a Lauf fork and shock absorbing carbon bars, but the front end on the Fugio just seemed to bounce a bit more than expected. Over ten years the range expanded beyond commuter bikes to include road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes.
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.
Finding the center of the brand design was based on our uncovering the “truth in materials” position. Genesis created the personalities and graphics for bikes built for the world’s diverse cultures. You can see our work for Giant in the grueling Tour de France, genesis bicycles on Tokyo commuter streets, and in a garage much like your own. That’s why we have an extensive network of expert dealers who can help you get your perfect Genesis, whether you’re after a reliable tourer or your dream custom build.Find your local dealer here.
