Genesis Vagabond 10 (Bohemian Raspberry)

Genesis Vagabond 10 is a monstercross bike in the broadest sense of the word—the illegitimate love child of a road bike and a mountain bike. A real frankenbike for those who enjoy touring, bikepacking, commuting, and rough gravel roads where an ordinary gravel bike starts to feel a little too cautious.

The late cycling writer Steve Worland described this type of bike as the perfect cross-dresser for long rides that include a bit of everything. That sums up the Vagabond pretty well. With a tire change, it can go from commuter and touring bike to a significantly more capable off-road build.

Vagabond 10 uses a microSHIFT Sword 1x10 drivetrain with a 34T chainring and an 11–48T cassette—a simple and robust setup with low gears for steep trails and riding with luggage. TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes are easy to understand and service, making them a good fit for a bike built for longer adventures.

The Genesis Mjolnir steel frame rolls on Maxxis Ikon 2.35-inch tubeless-ready tires: 27.5 inches on XS and S, and 29 inches on M–XL. Choose Genesis Vagabond 10 if you want a steel bike that deliberately blurs the line between gravel, touring, and mountain biking.
