MODERN GEOMETRY |
An all time classic. The 27.5” Fuzz has been around for a while and has proven itself in the real world of racing and freeriding. It's easier to throw around than the 29” version making it a better choice for guys who want a more agile bike. It's low and slack and has chainstays that are proportional in length to the frame size. The reach has a 16mm range of adjustability via the eccentric headset. The shock in the Horst Link suspension has a floating design that enabled us to move it close to the bottom bracket and give the bike a very low centre of gravity. There is a significant amount of rearward axle movement that smooths out square faced bumps. At the same time, the frame is very efficient under pedaling.
REVIEWS:
"Great geometry, suspension, balance and overall feel" - MBUK
The Fuzz has been thrashed and flipped by Szymon Godziek at Rampage and proved itself in the racing environment, taking podiums at major DH events worldwide.
It's been ridden at the WC and IXS DH Cup by Polish National Champ, Slawek Lukasik and the other fast boys from the NS Factory Racing Team. Built around a super tough alloy frame, these bikes have an incredible reliability record. The bikes have one of the most progressive geometries on the market and have offset headset cups that allow reach to be adjusted to personal tastes and track requirements. A 4-bar horst link floating shock suspension design keeps the rear of the bike planted. The 29” versions sport a massive one piece rocker that keeps the longer rear end of the bike incredibly stiff. The frame is built with 6061-T6/ 6066-T6 aluminum tubes and double-pass welds for extra strength and we use big diameter max bearings for durability. There is an option of internal and external cable routing. Adjustable reach, super progressive geometry, dialed kinematics and great spec - this is what made this bike so popular among riders and reviewers. Available in 29” and 27.5” versions.
