An introduction to the Fuse family:
An all-new aggressive geometry is redesigned to make the Fuse a proper trail bike. Compared to its predecessor, its reach is lengthened 20mm, head angle slackened to 66.5°, seat angle steepened to 74° and standover reduced as much as 52mm. Think of it as a Stumpjumper without the squishy bits.
The new Fuse is available in two different alloy frames, M4 and A1. The Fuse Comp 29 is made from Specialized's premium M4 alloy. M4 alloy is stronger and allows for thinner tubes, therefore making a lighter frame that's just as strong as the classic A1 alloy found in this Fuse 27.5 Sport model. The new frames also have more seatpost insertion depth that allow for longer dropper posts. They can also take 29 or 27.5+ wheels, with clearance to fit either 29x2.6 or 27.5x2.8 tyres. No weird standards here, either. All Fuse frames have Boost 110/148 hub spacing, a threaded bottom bracket and a tapered headtube.
The new Fuse has 130mm forks with reduced offset, which gives the bike a little more high-speed stability without going too slack on the head angle. With 1x drivetrains and dropper posts across the range, wide bars, short stems and updated Butcher and Purgatory tyres, the Fuse is a real ripper.
Focusing in on the 22' Fuse Sport 27.5":
Here’s proof you don’t need tons of suspension travel to tackle challenging trails. Equipped with an all-new longer, lower, and gutsy chassis, the Fuse Sport 27.5" is dressed with 2.6" tyres to create a bike that lets you hit rocks and roots at speed with absolute control.
'Oh heck yeah' by design ...the Fuse is loaded with smart touches. The wide-diameter down tube boosts stiffness. The low-slung top tube improves maneuverabilty on tight trails. And while this Fuse’s 27.5 x 2.6" tyres give it ample traction and stability, it’s also compatible with 29er wheels and tyres.
Perfectly dialled ...fail to nail the geometry and advanced designs will still amount to nothing on the trail. Fuse gets it right. The long reach gives you even weight distribution. The slack head angle lends confidence on sketchy descents. The steep seat angle makes quick work of steep climbs.
