Fuji Bikes Launches New Auric LT
PRESS RELEASE: Fuji Bicycles
After three years of rigorous testing on the EWS circuit, and with a completely new and updated approach to geometry design, Fuji is releasing the Auric LT.
We combined 170mm of front suspension and 160mm of M-Link® travel, with progressive modern geometry to make the Auric LT a super aggressive bike that can also efficiently pedal back to the top.

This is a do-it-all bike that can replace a downhill rig, boasting a 63.5° head tube angle, a reduced-offset fork, 27.5" wheels, and wide-range gearing. Ride every descent, send every feature, then pedal back to the top. The Auric LT is an incredibly capable bike that's more affordable than most competitor models. Use the cash you save to buy a bike park pass or a year's supply of post ride beverages - it's time to have more fun on a Fuji!
Our Fuji Factory rider, Amy Morrison, has already been proving the capabilities of this bike- not only by winning two pro downhill races on the Auric LT, but also winning both of the most pedally stages at the competitive EWS Continental Enduro race at Northstar and finishing off her stellar season as the overall EWS North American Continental Champion.

It definitely handles high speed and chunky descents with ease, but also shines as an efficient pedaler. Pro Fuji racer Jimmy Smith has also been putting the bike through the paces and sending it huge at bike parks and gnarly trails across the USA.
Auric LT 1.1
$4699
Auric LT 1.3
$3799
The Auric LT is coming soon to a Fuji retailer near you.

Giant corrected this on the new Trance 29 it seems. On the Tranne 29 I now push my saddle backside of middle.
jeffsy is even better in my opinion…..
Just my thoughts!! For instance Pole bikes do a good job of off setting long reaches with steep ST angles therefore giving shorter ETT in a given size. They also combine it with longer chainstays to centre the rider in the bike more!
Nothing says fun like super aggressive.

Second, if your going to go quoting/comparing "actual numbers" there are just as many spec's that are totally different as there are that match or are close. And many of those spec's are shared with dozens of other bikes.
Third, that half of a degree change in HA might make all the world of difference in how the bike rides when combined with other geo numbers that differ greatly. Read any review of a Ripmo and your likely to hear how surprising the ride is compared to looking at the geo chart. (Ripmo's are sweet!)
Fourth, I don't really think Transition copied the mega. My point is that the Patrol isn't some kind of Geometry Virgin Birth. Modern mountain bike geometry has been slowly but surely progressing since Gary Fisher started messing with it. (thank god!) Transition might be the first company to mass market reduced offset and slacker head tube angles? But they are for sure not the first to use it.
In the end it's too bad more of us didn't buy a Geometron back in 2015 and saved a lot of money in new frame costs!!
Also, the V2 mega is a horst link just like the Patrol. Not "entirely different" at all. On second thought, maybe you should keep your "few reasons" to yourself cause if you can't spot pretty normal looking horst link I'm not sure your qualified to tell anyone why their pivot location is a bad idea...
(Bonus points if you didn't see a DH bike and didn't come back with either...)
