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 minimises suspension bob when pedalling. The guys from our Factory Racing team have chosen to race this version on most tracks of the 2018 season.
MAIN FEATURES:
Tough alloy frame with double pass welds
New one-piece forged rocker
New Fox Factory 29” fork
Trunnion shock
The Fuzz has been thrashed and flipped by Szymon Godziek 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 Factory Racing Team. Big news this year - the Fuzz goes 29”! And it's not just the same bike with different geometry. The whole frame has been completely re-designed. For those who prefer small wheels, we are still continuing the 27.5” built on the same frame that the NS Bikes Factory racing team has been using throughout 2017, and still continue to use alternatively with the 29” version in 2018 and beyond.
