The Transonic is the culmination of years of aero engineering in the A2 Wind Tunnel that first yielded Fuji's Track Elite, then Norcom Staight then Transonic: the epitome of all knowledge gained and lessons learned channeled into an aero road bike. The Transonic is a no compromise pursuit of speed with control, achieved through optimum stiffness and stable steering geometry. In addition to athlete feedback, Fuji integrates mechanic feedback into all of its products and the Transonic is the latest to exemplify one of the brand's overriding goals: to design bikes that are easy to service and user friendly. Fuji was one of the first in the industry to position a direct mount brake on the seatstays instead of under the chainstay, where it is extremely challenging to set up and service and impossible to adjust in a race situation. Fuji worked directly with Shimano to modify their front brake design and apply it to a rear seatstay position, where it affords both mechanics and riders easy access for adjustments and wheel changes.
