Fuji Tahoe 29 1.5 Mountain Bike – 2017. The Fuji Tahoe 1.5 29 is a value-packed choice in a rock solid, trail-taming, 29er mountain bike. It’s built around a frame constructed from Fuji’s A2-SL custom-butted alloy. The hardtail design is not only lightweight, but provides excellent rigidity thanks to the PowerCurve down tube and tapered head tube. The over-sized BB91 bottom bracket increases the possible size of the down tube and chainstays, resulting in a frame with less flex and more responsiveness with every pedal stroke. Up front, the RockShox Recon Silver SL R 29 suspension fork provides 100mm of travel with a remote lockout for those days when you have to ride to the trail. Power transmission is handled by a mix of Shimano Deore and Deore XT parts. The Deore Rapid Fire 2×10-speed shifters provide crisp, responsive gear changes, while the Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur snaps quickly in to the next gear and takes up chain slack for shifting that feels smooth and effortless. The Shimano M395 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, easily modulated stopping power. Oval Concepts has a history of making exceptional components, and they provide the build kit that finishes off this bike. An Oval Concepts flat bar with a 9-degree sweep and an Oval Concepts 313 3D-forged alloy stem handle steering duties, while the Oval Concepts 200 saddle helps you stay comfortable during long days on the trail. Vera Terra DPD22 wheels are wrapped in Schwalbe Rapid Rob 29×2.25 tires to provide unrivaled handling and traction.
