Fuse

Laufey

Looking for a good rough terrain trail bike for steep accents and declines. I think I have narrowed it down to these two. Nearly got the Fuse then saw the Laufey.

Which one is best? Which one would you buy?

    Both pretty close spec wise and great bikes. Both good options and capable for what riding you want to do.👍👍

    My vote would be for the Orbea, very good looking frame/geo and my Buddy has an Alma Carbon, looks really nice in the flesh which gets it some admiring glances.😎

    Get whichever one you can find in stock in your size.

    Yes that is a big issue nowadays. The Orbea is available now (which is rare) and I’m gravitating towards that one. But the specialised should be available soon.

    If you can get the Orbea I'd go for it now.
    I was hoping to get a Laufey H LTD but can't find one in a L anywhere and the next stock isn't until August 2021!

    You should consider the L10. That is available. August 2021 is effectively never unless you have it on reliable order.
