More 2010 Fuji "Spy Photos"

Ok ok, they are not really spy photos when I work for the company and they grant me permission to blog about the new bikes. What can I say, the weather out here on the east coast has not the best for racing so the results have not been pouring in from team members. September is setting up to be a busy month with Bear Creek, Michaux and 2 more H2H races on the calender. In the mean time, the Fuji Tahoe line up is getting a make over for 2010. All new frames and the much anticipated return of our Tahoe 26" line up to compliment the 29" line that has been doing so well since the launch 2 years ago.

We will start with the 29" line. The frame is redesigned with a "Power Curve" squared tapered down tube, hydroformed Tri Top Tube and oversized seat tube all designed to improve stiffness with out sacrificing weight. Cable mounting is all moved to the top of the Top Tube to improve shifting and cable cleanliness. The Tahoe 29 series continues to be a value line up really lacking an all out pro level race build, but the top of the line Tahoe 29SL is spec'd with full SRAM x-9 and our own new OEM Handlebars, Stem and Seatposts but still manages to tip the scale under 29.5lbs in a 19" frame. The new frames are lighter, but I can tell you that Team Members riding the 09 Tahoe 29 SL have all gotten their bikes under the 25lb mark and anticipate getting close to the 23lb mark with the new frames and SRAM XX group.

Ok, here are the photos:

And now, the 26" models.

These bikes share the same frames as their 29" counterparts but don't go as high end since we have all the carbon race hardtails that outshines the 26" Tahoe. I will get to the Carbon hardtails later in the week. Here are the photos of the Tahoe 26ers.
