A long-time favourite model in the Genesis line-up, the Vagabond is a unique best in the cycling world. The Vagabond is a monster-cross bike in the loosest sense of the term; the illegitimate lovechild of a road and mountain bike, a ‘frankenbike’ that has long been the staple of shed tinkerers, the result of many an experimental ‘I wonder if….’ spare parts box builds.
Tourer, gravel bike, commuter, versatile road bike, the Vagabond will happily turn its hand to most disciplines with as much as a simple tyre swap.
Uprated frameset uses Reynolds’ benchmark 725 steel which further enhances the ride qualities, while modernising the dropouts to bring 12mm thru-axles into the game.
In keeping with its off-road persuasions, a 1X SRAM Apex drivetrain with a 36-tooth chainring keeps things moving forward over all terrains, with the mountain-bike style 29er wheels and tyres rolling over the worst of any rough stuff.
