Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Fuji Touring Disc. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
11 reasons to buy
- Previously offered with rim brakes, the Fuji Touring has long been considered an all-time great in the world of touring bikes.
- The Touring Disc comes ready for long tours out of the box.
- This bike is available in seven frame sizes from 49cm to 64cm.
- The Touring Disc includes a 55lb-rated rear cargo rack and ‘touring’ pedals with toe clips and straps.
- The TRP mechanical disc brakes are easier to maintain, especially while touring, than hydraulic brakes, and there’s no risk of brake hose damage in transit.
- Many owners sing the praises of their Fuji Tourings they have ridden for many years.
- The frame features front and rear rack and fender mounts, a pump peg and chain hanger, three sets of bottle-cage mounts on the main triangle, and cage mounts on the fork legs.
- The 3x10 Shimano Deore drivetrain’s super low bottom gear (26T front, 36T rear) is ideal for climbing hills when loaded.
- At just 29.97lb, the Fuji Touring is relatively light for this category.
- The Touring Disc has room for 38mm tires (40mm without fenders).
- Experts appreciate the comfort and control provided by the flat bar tops and well-shaped TRP RRL brake hoods.
3 reasons not to buy
- Though bar-end shifters have many advantages for touring, they take some getting used to and aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.
- The extra hand effort required with mechanical disc brakes can lead to tired, sore hands.
- Experts say the 35c Vittoria Randonneur tires’ have good puncture protection and a smooth ride when loaded for touring, but they’re sluggish and stiff, lack grip on wet roads, and wear quickly.
Bottom line
With the Touring Disc, Fuji has given its renowned steel touring bike mechanical disc brakes and a sleek new paint finish while leaving the rest of its winning formula alone. Experts and owners relish the relaxed geometry, comfortable ride, rugged durability, and mounting options. The Shimano 3x10-speed drivetrain’s gearing is ideal for heavily laden tours. Though popular with touring veterans, the bar-end shifters may put some riders off, and the included budget tires disappoint. Otherwise, there’s little to criticize here, as Fuji’s Touring remains an excellent and surprisingly affordable option for everything from daily commutes to extended tours.
