Fuji Gran Fondo 2.1 Disc 2017

Fuji Gran Fondo 2.1 Disc 2017. Endurance bikes are undergoing a revolution in performance and aesthetics, and Fuji's long lived Gran Fondo line is leading the charge. Fuji's Gran Fondo 2.1 takes plentiful cues from its racing cousins while adopting a geometry more conducive to long days in the saddle. With a premium Shimano Ultegra groupset, a C5 high modulus carbon frame, and Shimano's R 685 hydraulic disc brakes, this bicycle is ready to go long. The Gran Fondo 2.1 Disc's frame is ready for the big rides. The high modulus carbon dampens road buzz, helping you put in the long days and leaving you refreshed to ride again tomorrow. Endurance geometry pairs a compact riding position with a taller than usual headtube for maximum comfort, and a full carbon fork adds to an already smooth ride. Oversized chainstays and a PF30 bottom bracket increase power transfer, making every watt count, and the light, stiff frame is ready to sprint for your city limit sprint. Hidden fender eyelets increase the bike's versatility without sacrificing aesthetics or aerodynamics. The Fuji Gran Fondo's 11 speed Ultegra groupset, which pairs a compact crank 50x34 with an 11 28T cassette, is one of Shimano's most popular offerings. The wide gearing is perfect for the endurance rider who loves long climbs and even longer days, providing you with everything you need to get up and over the most challenging terrain. Shimano's R 685 hydraulic disc brakes provide a logical complement to the Ultegra drivetrain, allowing a level of modulation impossible with mechanic discs. Unlike rim brakes, hydraulic discs brake consistently in all weather conditions, a welcome relief on technical descents or for riders who refuse to let bad weather interrupt their training schedule. Fuji rounds out the Gran Fondo 2.1 Disc with Oval Concepts wheels and cockpit. Oval is Fuji's house brand, but these parts are anything but a compromise. The Gran Fondo rolls on Oval Concepts 327 Disc wheels wrapped in 28mm Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks. The slightly larger tire size is increasingly popular among both pros and amateurs, smoothing out harsh road surfaces without sacrificing speed. The Gran Fondo is ready for the worst weather, the most jagged terrain, and the roughest roads. Are you
