Specialized Fuse Expert 6Fattie 27.5" Mountain Bike 2017 - Hardtail MTB
Made for taking on the roughest loosest trails, the Specialized Fuse Expert is a hardtail mountain bike that rolls on plus sized 6Fattie tyres. If you’re looking for extra grip in the corners, more cushioning over rough terrain whilst still gunning down your favourite trail, the Fuse 6Fattie is the MTB for you.
Built from the ground up for 6Fattie (27.5+) wheels and tyres the Fuse features an M4 Premium aluminium frame with a slack head angle and low bottom bracket height for stable handling at speed. Thanks to the innovative Diamond Stays, there is plenty of clearance for 3” tyres while keeping the chainstays short for nimble handling in the tight. A major advantage of this extra plus sized clearance is that it gives you the option of running 29” wheels as the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre is very similar for both sizes.
Plus sized wheels massively improve your grip through a wider contact patch. This lets you hit the corners faster, making the Fuse ideal for scree-filled switchbacks and loose singletrack. With a greater tyre volume, the 3” Ground Control tyres give you more floatation (cushioning) which acts as extra suspension. This is why 6Fatties are much smoother than other hardtails on rough terrain.
Offering 120mm (100mm on size small) of plush suspension control to tame the trail is the Manitou Magnum Comp fork. SRAM’s GX 10 speed drivetrain has a wide range cassette and offers all the gears you need for trail centre loops and cross country adventures. Powerful SRAM DB3 brakes offer confident speed control in all conditions.
"The combination of fatbike-like traction and trail bike-like handling gives the Fuse a unique set of skills." - Bike Mag
