The Silence of the Trainer: Introducing the CycleOps Magnus and Hammer
Updated: 2/21/17 Format: Article
Gone are the days of indoor training while staring in to your laundry room and trying to listen to Linkin Park on 11 in order to drown out the noise from your trainer. Not only do you have Zwift to keep your mind occupied and your spirit at ease (no cars on the road, no traffic, no careless drivers, etc.), but we've found that when paired with one of the CycleOps trainers, your ears can take a rest too.

When comparing the Fuji Gran Fondo and SST frame designs, it’s important to consider not only how the bike fits, but for whom the bike is intended. Both frames feature a tapered head tube, to improve stability and front-end handling, and an oversized Press-Fit BB86 bottom bracket to shave weight and add stiffness by way of a larger down tube and chain stays. However, the geometries of the Gran Fondo and SST vary greatly to address specific riding end goals. The Gran Fondo finds the perfect balance between wanting to go fast and stay comfortable, while the SST is meant to perform at the highest level.

If you're going to talk the talk, then you should walk the walk. The Fuji Gran Fondo and Altamira carbon road bikes are designed with impeccable style and deliver pure speed with every pedal revolution. Their proprietary Fuji frame and fork technologies are the perfect blend of fashion and function, and each is designed for a specific discipline in cycling. While both frames both have similar modern features, like a tapered head tube and a Press-Fit BB86 bottom bracket shell, their respective geometries differ greatly.

The 2013 Scattante CFR Black 9070 Di2 road bike is the pinnacle of Scattante’s in-house bike development.
