The Fuji Feeling.
It’s the fusion of engineering, artistry and an unyielding drive for perfection.
It’s an uncompromising quest for precision in even the most seemingly insignificant detail.It’s an appreciation for the calibre of performance a rider demands that comes from designers who are, first and foremost, demanding cyclists themselves.
And, ultimately, it’s the pride of possessing the best.Precision. Performance. Pride.
There’s no feeling like a Fuji.

FRAME GEOMETRY : The geometry of the bicycle frame is established by eight critical dimensions which, when matched to the engineering characteristics of the tubing material used, determine the handling characteristics of a bike, These eight critical dimensions and how they most directly affect the bike are:

a. Seat Tube Length governs the size of the frame and influences the other critical dimensions. Seat tube length, bottom bracket drop and wheel diameter together determine the overall size of the bike. Generally, you should select the smallest frame size you can ride comfortably, and in no case should you select a bike that you cannot straddle with both feet flat on the ground.
All Fuji bicycles are measured from the center of the B/B to the top of the seat tube.
b. Top Tube Length influences riding position and wheelbase. Its minimum dimension is restricted by the need for clearance between the front wheel and the pedals.
c. Chainstay Length position the rear wheel and controls clearance for fenders or clearance between the rider’s heel and the panniers on a touring bike.
d. Seat Tube Angle is the determining factor in positioning the rider’s center of gravity, and thereby controls the bike’s center of gravity and the riding position. To some degree, it also affects road shock absorption, in that a shallower angle allows the tube to absorb more road shock.
e. Head Tube Angle influences steering response, handling characteristics and front wheel road shock absorption, and affects some of the other critical dimensions.
f. Fork Rake or Offset works with the head tube angle to determine steering characteristics and responsiveness to directional change.
g. Bottom Bracket Height is the distance between the center of the bottom bracket and the ground, It determines the clearance of the crankset during cornering and from debris.
h. Wheelbase influences the bike’s ride characteristics. A long wheelbase tends to be more comfortable and have better straight running characteristics. A short wheelbase tends to make a stiffer bike with quicker response to directional change.
