So much of the MTB press says plus bikes are for beginners, and I can see that, but dude.
Load into your feet and it’s a totally different, snappier, ride. A bike that floats and claws when you want it to - and pumps and carves when you want it to. This bike gives you mega traction and cushion, yet when you load the tires it hooks and pumps like a hardtail. Pumping and hopping and cavorting? Heck yes. Blap blap blap, sorry about the dented rim, but I didn’t notice it happening.īarreling through random mess? What mess? The huge tires suck it up better than suspension ever can. The bike tracked like my Fox-powered Camber. Life changing.īad lines over and through nasty rocks? Whatever. Loose turns where Kevin was drifting? I was carving, feet up, waiting for the next thing. And the $2K stock Fuse was freaking awesome. We pinned it! We pinned it so fast Kevin PRed most sections. I was riding with Coach Kevin Stiffler: a great rider on his ~$6K carbon Enduro. The bike feels soft like a Camber or Stumpy but snappy like the hardtail it is. No biggie unless you’re in a hurry.Ĭlimbing on rocks, the tires feel - smooth! Easy. This place has loose rocks, embedded rocks, rock piles and random rocks - all goading aggressive riders into coarse flow.Ĭlimbing on smooth ground, the tires feel (or maybe just sound?) slower than normal. I got two rides at Heil Ranch outside Boulder, CO. Lennard Zinn’s digital low-pressure gauge read 13 psi, so who knows. The exciting bit: 45mm rims with Ground Control 3.0 tires!Īccording to my high-pressure gauge, I like these tires at 18 psi front, 20 psi rear.
I got it straight out of the box with a TransX dropper post, SRAM components and a Manitou fork. The Specialized Fuse Expert 6Fattie costs $2,100. The 27.5 x 3″ tires on this hardtail deliver micro float with mega pump: Perfect for shredding rocky trails.īonus: 6Fattie wheels on my S-Works Enduro 29!
