Fuji SPORTIF 2.1

The Fuji SPORTIF 2.1 from 2021 is a road bike that is characterised by its balanced equipment and its attractive price-performance ratio of EUR 999. The frame is made of A2-SL aluminium alloy with a bolted bottom bracket, which ensures stability and durability. The fork combines carbon legs with an aluminium steerer tube, which contributes to a reduction in overall weight and improved ride quality.

Braking performance is provided by alloy dual pivot brakes with a range of 47mm to 57mm, which offer reliable deceleration in conjunction with Shimano Sora brake levers. Shifting is also dominated by Shimano Sora components, including the shifters, which are designed as Dual Control for a 2 x 9-speed configuration, as well as the front derailleur.

The drivetrain consists of an FSA Vero crankset with 50/34T and a KMC X9 chain, which together ensure efficient power transmission. The bottom bracket is equipped with sealed cartridge bearings, which ensure smooth and low-maintenance operation.

The bike is equipped with an Oval Concepts 300S Shallow Drop handlebar, which is made from 6061 aluminium alloy and has a 31.8 mm clamp. This is complemented by Oval Concepts 300 suede grips and an Oval Concepts 313 stem, which is made from 3D forged 6061 aluminium and offers an angle of +/-6 degrees.

The wheels consist of Alex Vera Corsa DPM27 aluminium rims combined with Formula hubs, each with 28/32 spokes. The Vittoria Zaffiro V tyres in size 30-622 with 26tpi offer a good balance between speed and comfort.

The saddle of the SPORTIF 2.1 is the Oval Concepts 344 model with steel stays, mounted on an Oval Concepts 300 aluminium seatpost with a diameter of 27.2mm. The package is rounded off by road pedals with clips and straps that provide the rider with additional support. Overall, the Fuji SPORTIF 2.1 presents itself as a well-equipped road bike for beginners or price-conscious enthusiasts who value quality and functionality.
