The Details

The Specialized Fuse Expert 29 excels on all kinds of technical terrain and is significantly more capable than most other hardtails.

The top of the range Fuse, the Expert 29, matches top-end components with Specialized's lightweight yet sturdy M4 aluminium frame, all in a cost-effective package.

A lightweight yet rowdy M4 aluminium frame lends itself to both a playful agility ride with precise handling too. The Fuse Expert is equipped with componentry that can withstand whatever you throw at it. Wide volume 29x2.6 inch tyres soak up roots and rocks with ease as well as being incredibly fast rolling. You can even switch it up and fit a 27.5 inch plus sized wheel-tyre set up if you want to.

The geometry of the Specialized Fuse has been tuned to be both playful and extremely capable. The wide diameter down tube boosts stiffness, while the low top tube gives excellent manoeuvrability on the technical sections. The steep seat tube angle puts you in an efficient pedalling position for the climbs, while a slack head angle gives you confidence in abundance on tricky, fast descents.

The Sram GX Eagle 12-speed one-by drivetrain provides slick, smooth gear shifting over an unparalleled range of gears, while SRAM G2 hydraulic disc brakes and a TranzX dropper seatpost keep you firmly in control no matter where your riding takes you. Finally, the Fox Float 34 Rhythm fork with 130mm of travel provides a well-cushioned ride.
