Fuse Expert 6Fattie

2016 Fuse Expert 6Fattie

More volume means more speed. It might be a claim that sounds flipped on its head, but one ride on the Fuse Expert 6Fattie will have you shouting this sentiment from the rooftops. Our all-new 6Fattie Wheel System puts out more traction, more floatation, and better handling without sacrificing anything to efficiency on climbs. And to solidify itself as a proper trail machine, this Expert iteration of the Fuse places a focus on blending durability with performance. To do so, we spec'd it with strong alloy rims, a bulletproof one-by drivetrain with plenty of hammering and climbing ability, and a plush Manitou fork with 120mm of smooth travel. This Fuse is equally ready to take a beating and to hand one out to the trail.

All round champ

Been riding this bike for around a year now, and it has replaced my enduro evo for most trails - excluding black downhill runs. The bike is solid, nimble and handles jumps far better than expected. It powers up hills and is a blast on the downs.
