Hiya guys,

does anyone know if there is much difference between the 2012 and 2013 x fusion vengeance? I’m specifically looking at the HLR DLA.

Anybody ridden them?

I can get the 2013 for about £40 more than the 2012- reckon its worth it?

Cheers

Joe

this may or may not be of any help… but when I asked the distributor they claimed that they did not release model years (i.e. 2012 model or 2013 model) but just released new models. although they neglected to say how the new models differ in name to the old models, if at all.

I believe that the 2013 has a lower a-c height but I’m not 100%.

Glad I could help!

They’re listed as 2012/2013 on the upgrade bikes (uk distributor) website, so that’s a bit odd!

I know there is the new “gold slick”/kashima coating, but anything else?

Specs look more or less the same as the 2012 version. Much nicer graphics however!

I don’t think anything in the excellent 2012 versions needed a fix, so this looks like a basic refresh.

Never fails to surprise me how light velvets are. In terms of performance and build quality, they’re on a par with Rock Shox and Magura Et al.

Just got a reply from X-fusion…
they have said there are no difference between the 2012 and 13 apart from stickers! 2014 gets the gold slick treatment
