Fuji have updated the Gran Fondo, equipping the endurance bike with disc brakes and introducing comfort-boosting ‘VRTech’ to reduce vibrations by a claimed 24.6 per cent.
The American-owned Japanese firm originally launched the Gran Fondo in 2012 but this is a significant update, bringing the frame up to date on two fronts.
VRTech, short for Vibration Reduction Technology, places a Polyurethane-treated natural fibre in key places within the Gran Fondo’s high-modulus carbon fibre frame – the fork, seatstays and chainstays.
