Glad it was helpful!

I am buying this bike for $636 and was really pleased with this review. Lots of options to upgrade and I think I will be happy to leave my REI DRT 1.1 behind. Thank you!

Sounds like a great deal. Enjoy!

I purchased this bike ,well the fusion 30 due to this video

This bike is on sale for $729 U.S. right now. Great price!!

Picked up a Fusion 30 last weekend. I haven't rode a mountain bike in almost 20 years, but I still remember the last one I had. Its night and day really in comparison technology wise. 1x drive trains are really nice. I don't miss my 3x front derailler. I feel spoiled. I like mountain bikes for the versatility of being able to ride on different terrain. I've rented a fat bike 2 times already but wanted to buy a mountain bike instead because I found the fat bike a bit clunky even though I enjoyed that ride too. Never actually done challenging trails with them though. Can't wait to take it camping as there are a few light trails to take it on. My budget was around $1500 CAD so I feel like I got my money's worth even though I'm no bike expert. A bike expert might want upgrades seeing as they know more about whats available and would either go higher up or tweak their ride further. I'm not too picky though. Again I feel spoiled. Love the orange and black color too.

Can i put 11speed cassette on the bike

I'm in the market for a bike like this. I'm not a hardcore bike enthusiast but I don't want to use any Canadian Tire no name brand bikes anymore. I'm looking to buy Canadian... I think? So I definitely have my eye on a Rocky Mountain bike. I think I'm going to check out a few bike shops in my area tomorrow.

Nice bike. Still waiting on my Growler 20.

Now, September 2023, I found the Fusion 10 2022 at $450usd in a sale. I think i could bought it to replace my GT Avalanche comp 29 that have few years (3x9 drivetrain). I use it as my commuter, and to explore rural roads

Shout out to Graham and the group @bike bros just bought mine today!!!!

What do you recommend to upgrade the xcm 30 fork with? This will be my first upgrade.

@BikeBrosBikeShop

Жыл бұрын

That isn't an obvious answer: you'll want to figure out what you're trying to achieve with the upgrade: adjustability, plushness, durability, weight and your budget. Keep in mind for any upgraded fork, it will require switching your front wheel (or hub) to a thru-axle style.

Can I lput 11speed on this

How’s the Fusion 30 ? Is it worth the extra money compared to the Fusion 10 ?

@BikeBrosBikeShop

Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. The 2 major improvements on the Fusion 30 are the fork and gearing. The fork on the 30 is stiffer and uses an air spring (as opposed to a much less adjustable coil spring) so it makes the bike better suited for either rougher riding or a rider who is above average weight (can use the air spring to adjust suspension to work better for a heavier rider). As for the gearing, it goes from 9 speed on the Fusion 10 to 10 speed on the Fusion 30. The important part of this is the additional gear is an easier gear - so if you're in an area with some steeper climbs that may be a struggle with the Fusion 10, that same climb may be a bit more rideable on the Fusion 30. Hope that helps.

So for the upgrades, is it worth just spending the extra $ and going for the Fusion 30?

@BikeBrosBikeShop

I think for most people, just stepping up to the next model is best if the budget has room. For some people, however, it seems upgrades are half the fun ( and the fork they may choose to upgrade to would be a few levels better than the next model up).

@@davegravitt210 if you're thinking Rocky is using catalog frame, I'm pretty certain they aren't. While Rocky uses outsourced frame manufacturers, that is the case for virtually every bike brand out there ( with the exception of Giant and Marin who are two of the only brands are actually manufacturers as well as brands). The frames out there that look like Rockies ( or like many other original frame designs from well-known brands) are often copies that aren't of the same material, quality, dimensions.

Realistically, square taper is fine until you start riding more aggressively or jumping . That can result in rounding out the square taper portion of the crank... though doesn't necessarily happen. Also, square taper cranks can come loose, though that doesn't necessarily happen either. In summary, square taper isn't necessarily bad but can sometimes have issues.

I am wondering how long you would talk about everything other than the subject. There is nothing of substance in this attempted review. But I like Canadians so, Thanks.😊

Oh, I could probably go longer. Many people seem to like the attempted reviews as they tend to cover things differently than "reviews" to give extra information to people trying to figure out potential new bikes from home.
