from Keene NH Date Reviewed: May 9, 2011 Strengths: Great looking bike, strong frame. It climbs well and shifts very smooth. Very comfortable on the trails. Weaknesses: Pedals are a hazard but an easy upgrade. The cable clip system used by Rocky Mountain is not good. They will pop off and you will need to use zip ties to keep rear brake cable in it's place. Again, not a deal breaker. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $600.00 Similar Products Used: Trek, Kona, Giant, Felt Bike Setup: My bike came w/ Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, I have not had any problems with them, they are quick and responsive. The shock is on the light side but works for me. Riders in the 200 lb. range may bottom out on trails.

from Winnipeg, Canada Date Reviewed: May 30, 2010 Strengths: Great smooth ride, great handling, durable, looks great. Brakes are amazing. Good value (remember it's Canadian money). Weaknesses: I use the bike as a commuter bike sometimes and I sometimes wish I had a lockout for the shocks when I'm on a good road (which is rare in Winnipeg). I had some problems with the front disc brake rubbing and making a squeaking noise. Shifters sometimes randomly slip, but I think that's been fixed since my last tuneup. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Birds Hill Park Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $950.00 Purchased At: Gord's Ski and Bike Similar Products Used: This is my first good bike.

from Burke Date Reviewed: July 20, 2009 Strengths: Awesome frame! Great geometry, sturdy hardtail. Rocky Mountain really doesn't make a bad product and this is no exception. Good company to deal with should frame break as well. Awesome Cross country bike. Weaknesses: Rocky's lowest priced bike almost, so components needed upgrading for the most part for ambitious riders. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Kindom Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $600.00 Purchased At: Krums Bike Setup: Rocky Fusion frame, Rolf dolomite disc wheels, LX Dual Control shifters/brakes deraillers, Icon graphite series cranks, stems, posts, rock shox sid,

from Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: May 26, 2009 Strengths: Excellent shifters and derailleurs (for price paid). Shimano disc brakes are decent. Sturdy frame with strong crankshaft. Big tires; double-walled, stainless steel rims are a plus. Fork is better than on the bike I previously owned--more responsive, sturdier. Weaknesses: In my limited experience with it so far, the 2008 Fusion is not a particularly FAST bike. My last bike had 24 speeds and this one has 27, so maybe I still have to find my perfect speed setting for flat run surfaces. Also, maybe once it's had its first tune-up, some of the "new-bike" kinks will get worked out of it. The brakes were a little soft when I first got it, but they are getting better and better. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Minnesing Trail, Algonquin Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $750.00 Purchased At: Cyclepath (price in Similar Products Used: 2007 Brodie Tempyst. Bike Setup: Typical: off-the-rack set-up at time of purchase. I thought about upgrading the brakes to Avid BB5s or 7s, but was told to give the Shimanos a chance. So far, so good.

from Alberta Date Reviewed: July 15, 2008 Strengths: It is a solid frame for the price. The components may not be amazing, but they are decent for the price range (Deore front deraileur and LX in the rear). Weaknesses: Shocks could be better The pedals leave a lot to be desired and if your feet ever slip off the pedals they will leave you missing a good bit of skin. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Terwilliger Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $899.00 Purchased At: Revolution Cycle Edm Similar Products Used: Specialized Rockhopper Bike Setup: I've only had it a few months and it is still stock. I'm planning on getting clipless pedals soon.

from MA, USA Date Reviewed: August 11, 2007 Strengths: A good overall entry-level bike for the price. Weaknesses: The seat and grips are hard and uncomfortable. Get rid of the stock pedals, dangerous! The bike doesn't climb as well as others previously use. The mechanical disc brakes need continuous adjustment. I would recommend replacing the stock tires, I had problems with traction (in the rear) and tread wear. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $650.00 Purchased At: EMS Similar Products Used: Fuji and Specialized hardtails. Bike Setup: Basically stock with the addition of crank brothers mallet pedals and few extra add-ons.

from Canada Date Reviewed: June 13, 2007 Strengths: Solid components and easy riding made this bike perfect for myself. I'd been out of the loop for a couple years, and we decided on the Fusion over a Kona or a DeVinci. Weaknesses: The front shock is a little soft, and the mechanical discs gave me a little grief. The brakes just need adjustments. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anywhere without Nails or Glass sticking out of the ground. Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Revolution Cycle in Edmonton Bike Setup: All stock. Just make sure you don't let the pedals take chunks out of your calf. I have cuts that are 4 weeks old and still scabbed over.
