That almost just looks like a Giant with a Fuji logo…
It looks more like a re-badge job to me. Can’t believe the next Fuji won’t be Disc as that’s the hot trend.
Although sales of Fuji have been steady…since ASI is in bankruptcy it’s hard to see new bikes coming out of the brand until it’s purchased.
This is what I was thinking.
I’m pretty sure it’s a Giant Trinity with new logos
.
Definitely.
But I’m wondering why he isn’t on a Fuji if they are sponsoring him? It isn’t a bad bike.
My guess would be fit.
There would be no problem obtaining this fit:

Which is a shame as the design team have been working on a slick new TT/Tri bike for the last couple of years. If frames were already in production we might still see it this year
Pics or it didn’t happen.

I second this.
It may never happen. Depends on what Ideal intends for the brand
Would be a shame to write off the considerable effort and expense that has gone into R&D but that is the prevailing theme of the ASE collapse.
Definitely.

The problem is Fuji doesn’t appear to be making many if any TT bikes at this time. Yes Fuji still lists the Norcom Straight on their website but they don’t appear to be available to buy. Performance Bikes isn’t currently selling them and hasn’t for a while now. In fact I doubt Fuji has been making very many of any of there high end frames for a while based on my difficult in getting one.
I wanted to order a Supreme based on specs I had seen on the Fuji websites. Performance gave me the total run around about not being able to get one while also trying to sell me a lesser spec bike for almost the same price. Yes there were some on the website in a few sizes but the store was adamant they couldn’t just order one for me. Digging a little deeper I was told Fuji was producing/supplying was a lot of the lowest end bikes and even the dealers couldn’t get the high end stuff. Furthermore there were significant rumbles about a drop in QC in what dealers were receiving although those kind of rumours are super hard verify.
Overall I think the Fuji brand is dead in terms of premium/high end products. The marketing may rumble on for a few years but the company is appears focused on entry level products.
