If this is what the lap of luxury looks like, just wait until you see how it feels. The 2014 Fuji Gran Fondo 1.1 C is designed for longer, more comfortable rides without sacrificing performance. It's compact geometry relieves back, shoulder and hand pressure, while the longer wheelbase improves stability and handling with every corner you take. The 1.1 C is outfitted to the teeth with high technology: Shimano Dura-Ace 9000, Oval Concepts carbon components and so much more.
Using a longer head tube than a traditional race bike, about 10mm on a 55cm frame, the Gran Fondo creates a slightly more upright rider position in order to stave off upper body fatigue on longer rides. The Gran Fondo frame is made from Fuji's proprietary C5 high modulus carbon blend. High modulus is an engineering term which defines stiffness in fibers. Therefore, a high modulus frame has a stiffer blend of fibers which results in less flex and better transmission of power spent. Carbon fiber, used for much of its modern life in the aerospace industry, is a valuable high performance product for its lightweight, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion properties. The C5 frame is further refined with a Shimano press fit bottom bracket and tapered head tube. An oversized bottom bracket creates more surface area to attach the down and seat tubes, thereby creating a very stiff pedaling area. The larger press fit design also allows Fuji to move the frame material around, thinning out the seat stays and strengthening the chain stays, which puts the carbon where it matters to you most. The tapered head tube stiffens the front end of the bike for better power transmission.
