FUSE
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS We designed the Fuse with spot-on handling
and superhuman strength to keep pace with your progression.
YOU WANT TO INVENT A TRICK. Well not a new trick, but two old tricks combined
into one sick and twisted, seemingly impossible blaze of glory. Trouble is, along
the way there’s any number of not-so-minor disasters otherwise known as body
slams, busted pads and blown-out shoulders. Good thing we designed the Fuse with
superhuman strength and spot-on handling to escort you on your progression to
street, dirt, park or whatever stardom.
ALAIN LANUSSE Take a close look at the sandscratch
paint scheme on our 2007 Demo models and you’ll know
why 32-year-old Alain Lanusse is regarded as one of the
most innovative graphic artists in the bicycle universe. A
lifelong rider of “mostly any terrain on any bike,” Alain says
that even as a little kid he was fascinated with colors,
design and art of all sorts. “I didn’t know what it was, but
I had an immediate emotional attachment to it.” Lucky
for us, Alain’s two passions have come together as the
world’s fastest human-powered art.
