Fuji Norcom Straight 2.5 Triathlon/TT Bike – 2016 Bikes & Frames Tri & Time Trial bikes


Fuji Norcom Straight 2.5 Triathlon/TT Bike – 2016. The Fuji Norcom Straight 2.5 is a truly performance-driven time trial/triathlon bike for those looking to make a meaningful entrance into that racing category with leading carbon fiber frame technology. Fuji’s designers worked hand-in-hand with world class triathletes to develop new aero shaping techniques, addressing issues from a pro rider’s perspective, and then translating these inputs into a bike that more than holds its own on any time trial/triathlon circuit. The Norcom Straight’s C5 carbon frame and FC-330 carbon fork feature technology that increases stiffness, steering response, and of course, aerodynamics. The Norcom was engineered largely in the legendary A2 Wind Tunnel facility in North Carolina, where designers were able to reduce the drag on every yaw angle on the frame and fork, and incorporate the most developed shaping techniques in the industry. The result is one of the industry’s lightest and stiffest full monocoque C5 carbon frames. The Norcom Straight’s designers moved the rear brake to a chainstay mount directly behind the bottom bracket (as opposed to being on the seat tube in previous bikes), and opted to go with a BB86 bottom bracket which moves the bearings outward on the crank axle improving the stiffness of both the frame — through a greater cross-sectional width at the BB shell — and the crank itself. The result was a surprising 26% increase in stiffness in the BB area, which to a triathlon or time trial rider equals faster times. The Norcom Straight 2.5 arrives race-ready with its Oval Concepts 750 alloy base bar and S-bend aero extensions that feature FSA Metron bar-end shifters that enable you to make gear changes from the aero position. The Shimano 105 derailleurs and cassette ensure crisp, precision gear changes while Oval Concepts 327 aero alloy clincher wheels roll super-smooth during your triathlon/time trial efforts.
