Fuji Transonic Elite Road Bike 2017

Fuji Transonic Elite Road Bike 2017. When it comes to a superior road bike, we all have wants and needs. Quite often, we temper our wants with reality and settle. After one look at the Fuji Transonic Elite, you'll realize it does not settle, and does not seem to be a part of this reality. Study after study has shown that aerodynamics are the single most important factor when it comes to unleashing a rider's full potential. Those gains can come from a lot of places, like body position, deep section wheels, and helmets, but the frame is one of the most important places, which is why Fuji introduced the Transonic, which incorporates all the latest aerodynamic advances of the last few years into a single, race proven platform. The Fuji Transonic Elite is the result of years of aerodynamic research and engineering. Fuji was one of the first companies to go aero with their beloved SST model. Fuji's engineers spent several years wind tunnel testing and FEA modeling the Transonic frame to achieve the right shape to help you gain an advantage on your competitors. They found that while aerofoil shapes may be aerodynamically efficient, they compromise the rigidity of the frame. They also don't perform as well in a cross wind, and can compromise your control of the bike To solve this problem, Fuji uses a wide cross section tube shape made from C10 high modulus carbon fiber that cuts through the wind but increases stiffness, and increases your control of the bike at speed. The Transonic Elite is equipped with the highly refined and ultra powerful SRAM Red eTap 11 speed drivetrain. A mid compact Red carbon 5236 crankset and SRAM Red PowerDome 11 28 cassette provides the perfect range to mash out a sprint, grind out a climb, or ride tempo. Oval Concepts 950 wheels with Vittoria Open Corsa 320 TPI tires scorch the pavement and a set of TRP T930 direct mount brakes keep you in control of every hairpin turn.
