Aero road2022Kamm-tail Transonic (2020 model year)Disc brakesUCI legal

Fuji's aero road bike, in its top C15 ultra-high-modulus carbon grade. This generation replaced the 2014 Transonic's teardrop tubes with truncated Kamm-tail shapes and moved to disc brakes and 12 mm thru-axles, with a PF30 bottom bracket, a proprietary aero seatpost and a conventional Oval Concepts aero bar and stem. Fuji's store lists SRAM Force AXS and Ultegra Di2 builds.

Our verdict

Overall

out of 100, average of 7 categories

A capable, older aero frame with Kamm-tail tubes, roomy tyre clearance and a conventional bar and stem that make fit changes easy. It's now dated: the builds are 2022 stock without power meters, both show as sold out, Fuji's distribution is in flux, and there is no published frame weight.

Good to know

  • Design

    Cyclist describes a carbon shroud over the front brake and a semi-integrated cover on the rear brake area to smooth airflow.

    Source

  • Compatibility

    Cyclist measured room for 32 mm tyres, unusually wide for an aero road frame of its time; Fuji's current product pages don't state a maximum.

    Source

  • History

    This generation replaced the 2014 Transonic's curved, teardrop tubes with Kamm-tail shapes for the 2020 model year; Fuji claimed 28.7% less drag than the 2014 bike at 10 degrees of yaw and 6.2% less overall.

    Source

  • History

    Fuji is owned by Taiwan's Ideal Bike. In December 2025 its Pacific Glory Worldwide (PGW) arm announced it would distribute Fuji to US dealers itself, while BikeCo, the distributor since 2018, was still in talks about the future model.

    Source

  • History

    Fuji's former fujibikes.com site no longer resolves; its store is now fujibikes.bike, which names Pacific Glory Worldwide in Hillsborough, New Jersey as headquarters.

    Source

  • Versions

    The images and SKUs on Fuji's store are from the 2022 model year, and both Transonic builds show as sold out in every size.
