Specialized Fuse 27.5" Mountain Bike 2023
The Specialized Fuse 27.5" Mountain Bike is ideal for when the riding is fast, rough, and technical. An A1 aluminium frame is lightweight but strong and possesses an oversized downtube to donate excellent responsiveness to heavy pedalling loads. Additionally, the frame features a low-slung top tube to increase manoeuvrability and precisely shaped seatstays to guarantee plenty of clearance for wide, high volume tyres. An X-Fusion fork complements the frame, donating 130mm of plush suspension to aid the rider when the trails are at their roughest.
A long geometry ensures the rider's weight is perfectly distributed, while the slack head and steep seat angles donate stable handling and efficient power transfer, respectively. Strong wheels and plush tyres handle the biggest hits and most demanding surfaces with aplomb and are driven forwards by a crisp-shifting 9-speed gear setup. Hydraulic disc brakes stop with power and control, and a dropper seatpost makes sure the saddle doesn't impede the rider during frantic, high-speed descents.
