2016 Rocky Mountain Fusion 940 XC (w/ Upgrades)

For geometry, etc. see:

This sport XC hardtail from Canadian company Rocky Mountain is in great condition for a used mountain bike. Based on the amount of wear on the drivetrain, I would say it was not ridden a great deal. The frame is especially well preserved, and several of the components were upgraded either by the previous owner or the shop that sold it.

The originally spec’d Suntour crankset was replaced with a Shimano Deore, and the rear derailleur is a Shimano XT GS Shadow instead of the original SLX. The fork is also different from what Rocky Mountain provided on these bikes and remote lockout was installed on the handlebar for extra convenience. The stem was swapped out for an adjustable one, and the saddle is also aftermarket and looks unused. The last two things are not really upgrades and were probably swapped out for comfort’s sake.

It was in great aesthetic and mechanical condition when I bought it, but it did need a good cleaning and a full tune-up.

I cleaned the drivetrain thoroughly and relubed everything, cleaned the brake pads and disc rotors, tuned up the brakes and the shifting, and trued both wheels.
