Does anyone having any experience with this bike or Fuji in general?
\n
\nIf you thought you knew what the Fuji road bike line was all-about, think again. The all-new Fuji Sportif 1.1 C road bike has been completely redesigned from the ground up. It used to be that the Sportif line was all about having fun and staying in shape, with a more relaxed geometry and easier riding style. Fuji has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for you.
\nThe Sportif 1.1 C is now not only an excellent fitness bike, but is also ideal for gravel racing, gran fondos or exploring the fire roads in your area. The frame is still the same durable, stiff and lightweight A2-SL aluminum we all know and love, and the FC-770 carbon fiber 'cross disc fork gives this bike some sportier handling and the ability to soak up more bumps and vibrations. Finally, the upgrade to Shimano 105 11-speed parts, including a long cage rear derailleur capable of handling the 32-tooth cassette, sets this bike a level apart.

\nstates it can fit up to a 37 Knoby:
\n
\nThe most versatile bike ever built.
\n
\nLeading the way in an entirely new category of bikes, the disc brake equipped Sportif 1.5 not only stops well in any weather and any condition, but is designed to take almost any tire and wheel combination you would like.
\n
\nFrom the factory the bike comes with a smooth 28mm wide tire, for more comfort, greater control and more resistance for flats. The frame and fork have enough clearance to mount up to a 37 knoby, and possibly more depending on the individual tire.
\n
\nUnlike cyclocross bikes, the Sportif 1.5 has a standard geared road drivetrain to make climbing hills a snap. It also does not have the raised bottom bracket height associated with cross bikes, so your center of gravity stays low for confident cornering or cycling with loads.
\n
\nSpeaking of loaded riding, need to fit a rack or fenders? Unlike many road bikes this is fully equipped with fender mounts and rack mounts making the it a good choice for a fast bike commute as well as long road rides.

\nCome in and check out the Fuji Sportif and see if it is the right bike for you.

I emailed Fuji and they told me a 35 will fit both front and back
\nHi Anthony,
\n
\nThanks for contacting Fuji Bicycles!
\n
\nThe Sportif frame has a ton of clearance built in around the fork and rear triangle and could easily accommodate a 35c tire. We recommend trying it out - just be sure that the tires are ok before attempting to ride.

\nBest,

\nI just recently bought a 2014 Fuji Sportif 1.3 C from Performance Bike for $799, which is comparable to $1,200 Specialized, and Cannondales
