Product news: Fuji Bikes has been a pioneer in women's cycling and bikes for women for more than 40 years. With the new Fuji Supreme, they are now introducing the fastest, most aerodynamic and most advanced Fuji bike for all ladies.
When developing the new Fuji Supreme, the engineers started from scratch and dealt with the demands placed on modern carbon racing machines. The main focus was on aerodynamics and weight. However, these two factors should not be mutually exclusive, but combined in one bike.
“I wanted to blend the two characteristics together. We were able to make a lightweight bike that is aerodynamic; an aero bike you can climb.” – Steven Fairchild, Fuji Global Product Manager
The Supreme's two-year redesign marks the first of a new generation of Fuji carbon road bikes, with a design DNA that is the company's hallmark in every bike built. With advanced computer design, which was further refined in the wind tunnel, Fuji has developed the Supreme, a bike for sporty women that has everything to offer: from impressive aerodynamics to better rigidity to transfer full power with every step to to an appealing weight to tackle even the toughest inclines. In addition, all models were equipped with disc brakes to ensure better overall performance. The individual fit across all sizes ensures a unique driving experience and the corresponding comfort.
“The technologies we develop for our premium road bikes influence our entire product line. We wanted to bring our newest thinking to the Supreme and allow this women's product to influence and enhance all of our products.” - Karen Bliss, CMO of Advanced Sports
After months of development and countless hours of refinement, the Fuji Supreme was sent through the final testing phase in the wind tunnel. Here, the Supreme delivered clear results that were already indicated during the development process. In a 40km test, the new Supreme saves a remarkable 1 minute and 19 seconds over the Transonic and an incredible 3 minutes and 23 seconds over the current Supreme.
With results like this, it's no wonder the Fuji Supreme is already a proven champion, crossing the finish line first to win the Valley of the Sun Criterium (February 18, 2018) under three-time National Champion Kendall Ryan of Team Tibco-Silicon Valley win bench. This win adds to the story that began in 1974 when Fuji sponsored the first US women's national team.
