More Notes On The Fury Frame
- Straight out of the box, the Mountain Cycle Fury looks stiff.
- The rear shock attaches to the swing arm via a 4 bolt mounting plate.
- Cutting the seat post will be necessary with the interrupted seat post design.
- Full length housing is recommended with the downtube routing.
- Overall build quality is excellent…all the way down to nicely stacked welds.

Looks like it has lots of “Band Aids” holding it together

I’m a bit confused about the angles given for this bike. The little graphic on page 1 of the review shows a 67 deg seat angle. That seems really low compared to other bikes I have owned (current Giant Trance is 73.5 deg). 67 seems too low … is it measured differently or otherwise not comparable given the broken seat tube or something?
And then there is this quote about the head angle:
“The steep head angle (as compared to other bikes in this category…79 - 78.5) made the Fury a little twitchy on fast, technical descents through the rocks”
Did the writer mean 69 - 68.5?

Aaron,
You are right on the 79-78.5…that is a typo that has been fixed. An example of another bike in this cateogory is the 5.5 Spot from Turner that has a 69 degree HT angle.
The geometry of the seat tube angle is reading correctly. It is different by design. The interrupted seat tube and tube/monocoque mainframe are the primary reason for that.
