Leave the car at home! With high-end comfort, speed and gear for your every need, Fusion is the smart approach to alternative transportation.

Fusion is all about serving commuters, providing them the confidence and performance to pull off long rides in any weather, at any time of day
Standard equipment includes these uncommon features: internal brakes and shifting, dual headlight, taillight, fenders, rear rack, bell and kickstand
Lightweight aluminum frame withstands the abuse of rough roads and bike lanes while enhancing ease of acceleration and hilly ascents
Shimano internal rear hub provides eight smooth-shifting speeds and is remarkably maintenance free compared to conventional cassette systems
Using the Nexus shifter is intuitively simple, letting you adjust the ride to meet the challenges of ascents, descents and sprints through traffic
Front Dynamo hub powers a dual-beam headlamp; low beam is always on underway, and you can opt for the powerful halogen beam at night
Battery-powered, fender-mounted taillight provides rear visibility; it's photo- and motion-sensitive, working only in low light as you're underway
Slow braking caused by wet rims is no issue for Fusion's in-the-hubs braking system; external rollers dissipate internal heat caused by friction
Fenders fore and aft preclude wet, muddy lines up your front and down your back
Fusion is ready for carrying groceries, change of clothes or camping gear, with a rack that quickly accepts panniers and trunk bag (sold separately)
700c wheelsets ensure a fast, smooth ride designed for covering long distances with a minimum of effort
Puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires feature reflective sidewalls, sure grip and low road resistance
Kalloy Cozy Comfort handlebar and adjustable stem create an upright ride that's easy on the neck and back, and maximizes your view in all directions
Comfort comes easy with the plush Velo Comfort saddle and wide, ergonomic grips; suspension seatpost cushions life's little bumps in the road
Never appear unannounced; use the handlebar-mounted bell to sound your presence loud and clear
Fusion even includes a kickstand for your parking and storing convenience
Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—alloy platform pedals accommodate a variety of shoes

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.

Imported.
