And while this Fuse’s 27.5x2.3 tyres give it a loads of grip and stability, the M4 aluminium frame is also compatible with 29” wheels and tyres. The low-slung top tube improves manoeuvrability. The wide-diameter down tube boosts stiffness. The steep seat angle makes quick work of steep climbs. The slack head angle lends confidence on sketchy descents. The long reach gives you even weight distribution. The frame geometry lends the bike both playfulness and capability. The Fuse is built around a light-yet-burly M4 aluminium chassis. The Fuse 27.5 is the base model in the Fuse range. With 130mm of front suspension and big 27.5x2.3” tyres the Fuse excels on rough, sketchy descents and steep, technical climbs.
