FIRST LOOK: Fuji Auric 1.3

Fuji have developed their name in Australia with their road bikes, but their mountain bike offerings haven't made the same impact. But that could all be set to change.

Fuji have developed their name in Australia with their road bikes, but their mountain bike offerings haven’t made the same impact. But that could all be set to change.

Last year, we tested a Breezer with the curious MLink – a mid-stay link that works to reduce the stress on the frame and pivots for better acting suspension and longer bearing life.

Fuji use the same system, and this 160mm 27.5″ wheeled bike is a foray into the all-mountain market for Fuji. With long top tubes, slack head angles, Fox suspension and reasonably short chainstays and Boost hub spacing out the back, it looks to be well set up for hard riding.
