The future has arrived! Fusion is the best commuter/city bike out there--and now the best part of your work day will be getting there!

Fusion ensures travelers a comfortable and easy ride at any time of the day, in all conditions; just apply some downward force on the pedals
The commuter's necessary accessories are infused into the bike's design, rather than just a bunch of doodads hung on a touring bike
Fatigue-resistant aluminum frame provides a stable, lightweight platform; comfortable geometry is efficient while still allowing good visibility
Low-maintenance Shimano Nexus 8-speed Internal hub and drivetrain offer precise and simple shifting, even while stopped
Built-in Shimano Nexus Dynamo Generator hub powers a Shimano headlight and tail light; never be left in the dark, and no stopping for batteries!
Once moving, you are visible in traffic and you'll always have a lighted path for easy evening and night riding
Battery-powered auxiliary headlight complements the generated lighting system; on/off switch is conveniently located on the left grip
Full fender kit keeps things simple, and keeps you and your bike cleaner; integrated rear light always stays clear of cargo
Heavy-duty (but not heavy) rear rack is ready for all types of cargo, panniers and trunk bags--just strap them on and go
No, we're not done yet--keep reading!
Comfortable, ergonomic touch points include aero-shaped, plush Velo Saddle with suspension seat post
Extra-wide Velo comfort grips provide a large, soft platform for hands and large platform pedals give any-shoe compatibility
We've even included a kickstand for parking ease
Puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur 700c tires mean one less concern, plus they're fast!
Dual-mount alloy handlebars house all the bells and whistles; we supply the bell, you bring the whistle!
The handlebars also offer just the right amount of sweep-back for classic city arm- and hand-positioning that keeps you feeling just right
Did we mention the adjustable alloy stem? Your comfort is our main concern
Fusion might just convince you to rid yourself of your car for good--gas and batteries not included (or needed!)
We're also offering the 14-inch Fusion in a step-through version for extra stand-over room and ease of getting on and off

After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
