Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Gearing
2024 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30 has a 6% lower climbing ratio than 2023 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Equipment
2023 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30 has 20 mm more front travel than 2024 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30 in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
- Identity & price
2024 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30 had an original MSRP $300 lower than 2023 Rocky Mountain Fusion 30.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.
Selected-size geometry
Geometry overlay
Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Lowest0.67:1Highest2.91:1Total range436%

Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
