Intro
The Genesis Vagabond Frameset is the most versatile foundation in the Genesis range for custom builds focused on adventure riding.
The new generation introduces a completely revised geometry, longer and more stable, combined with expanded compatibility options including MTB drivetrains, suspension forks, and dropper posts, turning the Vagabond into a modern platform open to virtually any configuration.
It is the ideal starting point for riders who want to build a truly custom bike, without usage constraints.
Performance and handling
The Vagabond frameset is designed to be adapted.
The geometry, with a 69° head angle, long rear end, and generous wheelbase, creates an extremely stable and predictable foundation, designed for:
Substantial loads
Technical terrain
Continuous use over long distances
Compared with the previous generation:
Longer front end
More usable space
Better toe overlap management
The result is a bike that is more balanced, more modern, and less “compressed”.
Platform and custom build
This is where the real value lies.
The Vagabond frameset allows for:
MTB drivetrains thanks to Boost 148
Rigid or suspension forks up to 40 mm
Gravel, monstercross, or touring configurations
Drop-bar or flat-bar setups
It is not a “closed” frame: it is a platform for building.
Intended use
Advanced bikepacking
Technical off-road riding
Long-range adventure
Custom projects
Not ideal for:
Fast gravel riding on tarmac
Pure road use

The Vagabond is an extremely versatile platform: with the same frameset, it can evolve into very different bikes depending on the chosen build.
It can be set up as:
a stable, load-capable bikepacking rig, with high-volume tires and very low gearing
an “aggro” gravel build, faster-rolling yet still highly capable off-road
a flat bar configuration, closer to a rigid MTB
a hybrid build, designed for mixed road and off-road use
This flexibility is the true strength of the Vagabond, but it requires coherent choices: components, gearing, and overall setup directly shape how the bike performs.
If you want to build a Vagabond truly suited to your riding, we can help you define a balanced configuration without unnecessary compromises.
