The steel-framed Genesis Fugio has long been the go-to choice for adventurers seeking a bike capable of conquering any terrain, but departing from traditional, Genesis has now built it with a 6061 aluminium frame, coupled with a carbon fork.
This should result in a lighter and stiffer package, offering a noticeably more agile front end.
As for the Fugio’s geometry, it remains unchanged this time around, featuring a 70.5-degree heda angle with a 73-degree seat tube angle. There’s then a 395mm reach on a large and a 1062mm wheelbase.
The eye-catching paint jobs have always been a selling point of the Fugio, and continue to be so for the updated models. The brand says each frame is meticulously hand-painted, ensuring that no two Fugios are alike.
The 2023 Fugio lineup comprises three models, with the Fugio 30 priced at £2,000, the Fugio 20 priced at £1,500 and the Fugio 10 available at £1,300.
All three models come equipped with Vittoria Mezcal 2.1 27.5” MTB tyres, and with the max clearances of 52mm for 650b or 40mm on a 700c rim, the updated Fugio should confidently tackle even the most rugged terrain. The bikes get 1x drivetrains, featuring SRAM Apex 1×11 on the Fugio 20 and 30, and Microshift XLE-10 on the Fugio 10.
These all-new alloy Fugios are now in stock on Genesis Bikes’ official website.
