FUJI

Gran Fondo 2.5 $1739       

Shimano 105-equipped bike you can lift with one finger. Fuji's lowest-priced Full-carbon bike.

Full carbon fiber frame and fork. Shimano 105 STI 20sp shifting and brakes, Oval Concepts wheelset, Al alloy bars, stem, and seatpost, Vittoria 700x25c tires.

This type of bike really fits the profile of most of our road cycling customers. The frame is balanced around a very tall head to get the bars up noticeably higher than a pure racing bike would have. In other words, more comfort, less aerodynamics. We call this a relaxed-fit, high performance road bike.

Everyone! Of course, if the budget doesn't handle full-carbon bikes you can get pretty much the same design in the Aluminum Sportif 1.1.

47, 50, 53, 55, 58, 61 cm.

Gran Fondo 2.3 $2049      

Ultegra level Shimano parts on lighter carbon fiber frame.

Fuji's C5 carbon fiber frame, Ultegra shifting,Oval compact cranks (50-34), Oval aero wheels.

Randonneurs and century riders. If you ride 2000 miles each year, and have worn out your 105-level parts in 4-5 seasons, you are looking for this bike.

The only road bike riders who might be dissatisfied with a ride like this are racers who really need improved aerodynamics for sustained riding above 25 mph or so. That would call for a Fuji Transonic.
