Rocky Mountain Fusion 27.5 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
The Rocky Mountain Fusion hardtail is a fun and capable hardtail MTB for taking on canal towpaths and cross country tracks. A quality frame with powerful brakes and hand-picked spec make for a versatile bike that can be used year round.
You can buy the Fusion mountain bike through a Cycle to Work Scheme for even better value.
Frame
At the heart of the Rocky Mountain Fusion is a strong, light and stiff aluminium 6061 alloy frame. For trail riding these qualities are ideal. Up-front you get a tapered steerer tube which improves steering precision.
Rack and fender mounts improve the versatility of the Fusion and open the bike up as a Winter warrior and a commuter.
Suspension
The Fusion comes with 120mm front suspension, 20mm more than you’d expect to find on a recreational MTB. This will help with smoothing out rougher trails.
The Suntour Raidon fork is responsive and capable for trail riding. It comes with hydraulic lockout so you can fix the suspension in place for more efficient climbing. Adjustable rebound damping allows you to fine tune the way your fork behaves on rough ground.
This is important because if the fork rebounds too fast you’ll have less control, but too slow and the fork won’t be ready for the next hit.
Components
The Rocky Mountain Soul comes with fast rolling and nimble 27.5” rims. These are wrapped in Maxxis Sphinx tyres that have knobbles for grip on off-road tracks but aren’t sluggish when you get back on the tarmac. The set-up makes for a fast and fun ride.
It’s great to see a 3x9 speed Shimano Deore/Acera drivetrain on a hardtail at this price. The setup is reliable, durable and performs well. The wide range of gearing helps you take on steep climbs, rapid descents and road riding - all round versatility.
Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes with powerful 160mm rotors are a welcome addition too. These brakes perform in all weather conditions with excellent modulation and feel.
720mm wide handlebars are wider than most at this price point and give you more control than narrower bars.
