I went out and bought the 30 after watching your video. First ride yesterday and I'm pretty happy with my choice. Thanks!

Just picked up a 2021 RM Soul 10 today. I think I’ll be happy with it for several years.

Do you know if this XCR fork can be adjusted to 120 mm travel?

Thinking about picking up a Fusion for my partner, what do you think is the biggest tire you can fit front and back? I see it comes with 2.25"s, and by the looks of it the Contis are 2.4", any chance you can squeeze something even larger in there?

Looks like it could go a little bigger, I think a 2.6 would fit. Tire sizing varies between brands and models though, so it might be that some 2.6 tires would fit fine while some would rub the frame.

Very informative video. I hope you could compare this to the RM growler 20. Like you said, the XCR is a slightly better fork than the XCM, and the growler has a suntour XCM34 DS....it's basically what hinders me from buying the growler and looking at the Fusion or even the Soul. Although the growler has really tasty geometry... I would appreciate your opinion about this comparison, please. Thanks.

We're already sold out of the growler so I can't do a specific video on it but I can tell you the fork is what pushed me to the Fusion over the Growler. And I don't like Sram's SX drivetrain which is why I chose the Fusion 30 over the Fusion 40. I haven't been able to ride it much yet but I'm very happy with the air fork so far. It feels great, it's been receptive to tuning the air pressure for specific effects, and the nice wide stanchions made it feel plenty stiff. The Growler 20's fork matches it's design philosophy which is to be tough and low maintenance, but I find the Fusion is better overall package. It has almost the same ability to jump and descend as the Growler but it feels more nimble and climbs like a mountain goat.

Hey I have the fusion 10 and I removed my reflectors and dork disk... The dork disk started slipping off and I kinda got annoyed so I just use a branch cutter on it and then broke the reflectors too... Should I have kept the dork disk... I noticed you had yours

As soon as I saw the QR I was done. Was almost set on ordering this bike until I noticed those. Everything else is perfect besides that.

I know what you mean but I'm ok with it because the bike has so many other features for a relatively low price. The air fork and the nicer BB/crank setup, for example. Given the choice between the similarly priced Growler, Soul, and Fusion models, I feel like this one offers the best overall bang for buck.

@@PeterCollinsCycling I 100% agree, my local shop has a Fusion 30, 40 and a Growler 20 all coming in shortly. Only reason the Growler is winning right now is because of its ability to upgrade the wheelset and fork down the road with its Boost Axles. Really torn on what to do as all 3 bikes fall within my budget.

@@kylechallis I'm not a fan of the Fusion 40 because SRAM SX is... Unreliable. that's the most politr thing I can say about it. I like the Fusion 30 best but if you want it to be easily upgradable later, I think the Growler would be the best bet.

Two questions. How’s the bike so far I just ordered it. Also did you get armpump surgery? If so is it because of mtn biking?

Bike is awesome; just as fun and lively as the last version but way more confident on descents and jumps. The arms are the result of an OTB and emergency repairs.

@Velo-Raptor Sauga do you reckon a 29x2.8 will fit in that frame? A KZbin review of the '21 Growler said 2.8s look like they'd fit on the Growler. It'd be awesome if 2.8s could fit on the Fusion.

Fusion is more XC oriented than the Growler so it has less tire clearance. I have 2.4s on this bike and there's a little more clearance but not a ton. 2.6 might fit but I'm not 100% sure

Hey man ! I just bought this bike and I want to change the rear tire too but I’m unable to separate the tire from the rim, I just wanted to know how you did it?
@PeterCollinsCycling
@PeterCollinsCycling 3 жыл бұрын
It sounds crude but put it on the ground and use your foot. Tubeless ready rims have a really tight seal even if you're using normal tires with inner tubes.

How much does a fusion 30 weigh?
@PeterCollinsCycling
@PeterCollinsCycling 3 жыл бұрын
I don't have a new one in stock to weigh and I've trimmed my bars and post since filming this so I'm not sure my bike would give a perfectly accurate weight for you. But I can say it's pretty middle-of-the-road on weight compared to its competitors. Not super light, but light enough to be fun and nimble.

Suntour offers better bang for buck. I ran an epixon for yrs on all types of trails with no issues and im not a small guy by any means. Suntours bad reputation is unwarranted imo.
