I've had my Specialized Fuse for about 2 months now, and I really enjoy it so far. Apart from a few minor mechanical things, this bike is really good. It's fast in any direction, and able to be super stable yet very easy to jump at the same time. I am 5'11" (180 cm) and got a size large. Post any other questions in the comments, and I will get back to you. plz subscribe

He rides harder than 70 of most people, those trails are fork eaters, I love how he wears almost Zero body protection, I think he only had a helmet on, then he eats it with no gloves...

Thankfully, your video popped up on my recommendations. After watching hours upon hours of "experts" talking about cycles, I get someone who is living it rather than talking it. I look forward to catching up on the rest of your content now. I'm going for the Specialized Rockhopper Expert when I can find one in stock. Finally, what a stunning trail and area to cycle. You've got yourself a sub from me.

Got the 2020 Fuse from my local bike shop in Tokyo. Got it as a spare to use when my full-sus is out of action (like now!) Picked it up for about 500 bucks since it it was a demo but practically new. (also with chromag handlebars and saddle) I'm also about 5`11" but the bike is an M! But actually I'm starting to really enjoy it! You are right, the Recon needs to go, probably a 34 fox would really liven it up! Good riding! Keep it up!

One of the bolts had already come out, and it usually started loosening up partway through the ride. I was able to find a replacement for like $3. I was running about 17/23 and found that to be pretty good for most trails. Haven't found anything better yet.

Sick riding 👍 you were just killing it. I'm actually looking at getting this bike. I agree that the front fork needs to go, my plan is to slap a pike on the front. Also did you have the rear chainstay in 420mm or the longer 430mm? I'm thinking of putting it in the super short 420mm and also getting the biggest chainring I can.

Hmmm. Correct me if im wrong or just ignore me, but why do 4 wheeled bike are called quad bike? While bike means 2 wheeler. then should it be Bi/Di-BIKE instead of a quad bike? Because “QUAD” & “Bi” or “Di” are prefixes. 🤔 hmmm, and why did i say 4 “wheeled bike” instead of QUADCYCLE or TETRACYCLE? Also, why do we say TRICYCLE a tricycle and not TRI BIKE or TRI MOTORCYCLE? Why it is called TRIKE for 3 wheeled but not QUADIKE for 4 wheeled? Don’t mind me just scroll

Depends on your riding style and how smooth you want your ride to be. Personally, I prefer my hardtail for most of my riding and only choose my full suspension for dh racing or bike parks. It also depends on where most of your riding takes place.

The tallboy would probably better on technical stuff, but might not be as much fun on jumps. The tallboy would certainly be a more comfortable ride just because you've got more suspension.

4.21 lol appreciate the review and I agree with the fork issue but my lord you are an amateur rider giving a “pro” review. You shouldn’t have hesitated. I work for specialized nz. The bike definitely needs a fox not a recon. My advice is a fox 34 140mm travel to raise you up the extra 10mm. Ps 16 psi front and 23 rear….. no wonder it’s vibrating like a bitch… suggestion… run 28 psi front 25 rear then the vibration will cease

Of course. I got a very small scratch on the stanchion which caused the rubber seal to deteriorate very quickly and lose oil. Partially my fault, but more expensive forks are typically made of more durable materials. Also, the smaller stanchions mean more flex at the front end of the bike, which I think makes for sketchier descending. Just my opinion.

Brakes is underpowered…The fork is total junk. My seat is broken after 4 rides. Lever for dropper post is already sticking after 4 rides. This bike is under spec’d. I can take this on trails but the components are total crap. The bike industry is now for rich weenies. Gotta spend $3,500 to get a decent hard tail…in this aluminum crap frame. So fragile. The bottom bracket creaks already because there are no seals for the internal cable routing. So much chainslap. Not a good chain guard.
