NS Bikes Fuzz 1 Bike 2015

The unveiling of the new Fuzz alone was something to be celebrated by NS Bikes. Throw in some major Downhill podiums to closely follow, and it was time to party

After being beaten, battered and proven by none other than Sam Pilgrim, and put to the test on the most demanding race courses only to dominate them, the 2015 Fuzz's redesigned frame adopts the industry-sweetheart 27.5" (650b) wheel size, and boy are we excited!

By giving the Fuzz a bigger set of legs, it has undoubtedly become a much faster machine than years past, while retaining its nimbleness and ability to hold ridiculous lines. Aside from its new 27.5" wheel size, the geometry makeover includes more BB drop, slightly longer rear triangle and an even longer large size to deliver a lower slack ride with more assertiveness. In addition to the geometry revamp, the 4-bar Horst link suspension has a significant amount of rearward axle movement which helps to absorb square faced bumps, while the integrated anti-squat technology counters pedal-induced bob. The rear shock, which is the heaviest part of the frame is tucked away near the bottom bracket to retain the lowest possible center of gravity.

The Fuzz 1 is NS Bike's gemstone build that comes loaded with a Marzocchi 380 C2R2 fork to handle the front end and a Vivid R2C coil shock at the rear. Also augmenting the stoke-worthy frame is super strong Sram Code R brakes, a 1x10 drivetrain and a full set of aftermarket NS Bikes components, including the Evidence Plus handlebars, Direct Mount stem and high-end Enigma 650B rims.

Its time to celebrate the Fuzz 1 and the only true way to do that is to swing a leg over and drop in.
