Fuji Tahoe 29 1.1 Mountain Bike 2017. The Fuji Tahoe 29 1.1 rests at the pinnacle of Fuji's long lived aluminum mountain bike line. The Tahoe is at home in across a range of disciplines, stopping just short of enduro capabilities. With a massive footprint, efficient SRAM GX drivetrain, and nimble aluminum frame, the Tahoe is ready to roll around the cross country course or up and down technical singletrack. The Tahoe 29 1.1 is built around the Fuji A2 SL custom butted aluminum frame. The PowerCurve downtube, 1 18 to 1 12 tapered headtube, and the BB91 bottom bracket work together to form a light, stiff frame that transfers your pedaling power straight to the wheels. The A2 SL frame excels on the climbs, aided by the remote lockout on the RockShox Recon Gold RL 29 fork. Once you've crested the hill, the Recon Gold is ready to bring you back down, offering 100mm of travel and a 15mm front axle for even greater front end stiffness. SRAM's 1x11 GX drivetrain takes advantage of the latest advancements in derailleur technology, pairing a GX crankset with a 32T ring with a stupendous 42T cog in the rear. This 1x11 setup reduces maintenance and bypasses fickle front derailleurs, all while offering a range of gears comparable to a 2x drivetrain. The GX rear derailleur enjoys trickle down technology from SRAM's top of the line groupsets, including SRAM's patented Roller Bearing Clutch, which maximizes shifting stability in the most demanding terrain. The finishing package on the Tahoe comes from Fuji's house brand, Oval Concepts. Light and durable, the Oval stem, seatpost, and saddle deliver maximum performance for the price point. The Tahoe rolls along on tubeless ready Oval Concepts 400 wheels with Centerlock hubs and a 15mm front thru axle, which offer a balance of speed and durability. The Schwalbe Rocket Ron Performance tires in their 2.25 iteration put a premium on low rolling resistance, keeping you moving in all conditions. The Tahoe 29 1.1 is a great choice for the beginning cross country racer, the intrepid trail rider, or the gravel grinder who likes the more upright position of the mountain bike.
