2018 specialized fuse expert 6fattie review. Specialized fuse expert carbon 6fattie early verdict plus size power for the trails but the component spec is a little underwhelming for the price. Say hello to the fuse expert carbon. For a drivetrain that consists of a potpourri of parts it actually performs quite well knocking off shifts quickly and accurately when the stock jagwire shift housing is swapped out for shimano.

It might be a claim that sounds flipped on its head but one ride and it ll have you shouting this sentiment from the rooftops. Xxl frame hard to turn in fast flat corners avid db3 brakes are cheap. If you are looking for a hardtail that is at home on fast and somewhat technical singletrack this is. The fuse is available in aluminum or carbon frames with several build options.

The specialized fuse expert 6fattie was our 2017 editors choice for its balanced performance and impressive build specifications. But specialized s fuse expert carbon 6fattie has me rethinking that pact. Lost rear braking power after 6 months. 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.

Comfortably big for a 6 5 rider with 39 sleeve length and 38 inseam. Its 27 5x3 0 tires put out more traction more floatation and better handling without sacrificing anything to efficiency on climbs.

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 show us a trail rider that says they couldn t use more traction we ll show the trail rider that s never ridden our fuse. At 2100 the fuse expert is spec d well.

Xxl frame fun hardtail with lots of grip. While the jury seems to still be out on the 27 5 wheel platform i m a big fan and i must say that it makes the idea of a hardtail more alluring than ever before especially if you re on a budget and looking for a fun maintenance minimal mountain bike. The drivetrain consists of a sram gx shifter and derailleur a 10 speed sunrace 11 40 cassette and a specialized stout crank with a 30 tooth ring.
