Specialized fuse expert carbon 6fattie early verdict plus size power for the trails but the component spec is a little underwhelming for the price. The tyres themselves have been beefed up too specialized s grid casing on the rear helping reduce pinch flats while the new grid trail casing up front adds extra support will keeping the weight in check.
It might be a claim that sounds flipped on its head but one ride and you ll be shouting it from the rooftops. Published on mar 12 2018 last week i purchased a brand new 2018 specialized fuse comp 6 fattie so i decided to make a video of my first ever ride on it with some initial impressions on the bike. If you haven t ridden on 27 5 tires we challenge you to do it and not walk away with a stoked out grin. Continue to page 2 for more of our specialized fuse expert carbon 6fattie review.
The trade off is what i consider a great deal at 3500. But the parts spec is what adds to the heft of the fuse expert carbon. The specialized fuse expert 6fattie was our 2017 editors choice for its balanced performance and impressive build specifications. This bike has the skills and capability to tackle a wide range of terrain but lacks personality comfort or a lively feel.
Reviews ratings specifications weight price and more for the 2018 specialized fuse comp carbon 6fattie 29 bike. This 135mm travel 29er climbs effectively and can stand up to nasty terrain on the descent but the ride is jarring and fairly unexciting. The specialized stumpjumper comp carbon 29 is a capable and effective mid travel trail bike. The alloy frame now has updated modern geometry that gives you a more stable ride.
The specialized fuse has been thoroughly updated retaining the spirit of the original while becoming more capable. All the bikes gain an extra 10mm of suspension travel with a 130mm travel fork. These bigger tires put out more traction more floatation. Specialized no longer offers the 2000 fuse expert the 2018 specialized fuse comp sells for 1650 and still shreds any hardtail worthy trail you put in front of it.
I rode it bone stock liking even the henge comp saddle. The entry level fuse 27 5 comes with 27 5in wheels and 2 8in tyres while the comp and expert models roll on 29in hoops shod with meaty 2 6in tyres. To start it lives by the philosophy that more tire volume results in more speed. If you are looking for a hardtail that is at home on fast and somewhat technical singletrack this is.
