NS Bikes Fuzz 1


Polish brand NS are best known for their dirt and street frames, but for the past few years they’ve been steadily refining their trail and downhill ranges too. Their Fuzz DH rig certainly looks the business, with a slack 62.5-degree head angle, a long front centre (which can be tweaked using the supplied reach-adjust headset) and a proven four-bar rear end. The Fuzz 1 is the top-spec model, with a ‘Performance Elite’ series Fox 40 fork and DHX2 shock, SRAM Code brakes and GX DH drivetrain, and NS finishing kit. At 16.93kg (medium) it’s no featherweight, but Sam Pilgrim has proven that it can take some hammer.

Price $6300
