Fuji Norcom Review
Fuji was not messing around when they designed and construced the Norcom. This bike is all business, all the time. Of course, for its price tag, it certainly should be.
With just a single glance, it is easy to say that the Norcom is meant for great things. This bike is definitely built for speed, although it is not the lightest around. What we did like about the Norcom, however, was the snug fit.
The Norcom is not the lightest bike in this category and can easily be considered chunky by some standards. Once you are out on the road, however, all such thoughts vanish from your head. Here, the Norcom is truly in its element. This bike is fast, impressively so. If you are planning on winning any races, then this is the bike that you need to be riding on at all times. With a bike that goes this fast, you want some incredibly good brakes. Fuji has really worked its magic here and we were really pleased with how the brakes were working.
Typically, triathalon bikes, particularly ones that focus on performance on as much as Norcom are not very comfortable. Most cyclists do not mind as they have other things on their mind. The Norcom, nonetheless, is quite comfortable. We did not spend too long on it but we certainly did not take a beating while riding it.
There is simply no way to sugar coat the price tag on this Fuji Norcom. Nevertheless, if you are a serious competitor, you will not mind it too much. It may cost you but it will certainly repay you in kind.
+Pros:
- Carbon frame
- Incredibly fast
- Good brakes
- Comfortable
- Looks good
- Fits well
-Cons:
- Expensive
- A bit heavy
The Verdict
If your main goal is to win, then the Fuji Norcom is the bike that will help you get there.
There is an incredible amount of power and speed trapped within the Fuji Norcom. As long as you do not mind shelling out for this bike, you will definitely be satisfied with the performance
