Bigger is better, and this version of the Fuzz is not just the old frame with revised geometry. The whole frame has been completely re-designed and now features a badass forged one-piece rocker that adds rigidity to the rear end and drives a modern trunnion shock. Like it’s smaller brother, the frame features a low center of gravity, with the shock tucked away near the BB, adjustable reach via offset cups and an option of choosing internal or external cable routing. The suspension kinematics have been tailored to provide exceptional ride characteristics. There is a significant amount of rearward axle movement that helps smooth out square faced bumps, and there is quite a lot of anti-squat built in which minimizes suspension bob when pedaling.
MAIN FEATURES:
Tough alloy frame with double pass welds
Radical geo with adjustable reach
one-piece forged rocker with trunion shock
200mm front / 190mm rear travel
RockShox AIR suspension
Hayes Dominion 4 piston brakes
Sram GX 7spd drivetrain
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.
