The Fuji Track Pro will be totally revamped for 2009. It features a color pattern of Black and Fuji Red with White Fuji logos and graphics on a Fuji’s specific frame made of alloy, which is much wider then last years Fuji Track Pro. The relatively high seat post, when compared to most track bikes is one of the most commented design features about the new Fuji Track Pro. From what we’ve heard, the seat post is like black liquorish, you either hate it or you love it. However, no matter if you appeal Fuji’s new design or embrace it, there’s no debate about its ingenuity. MSRP $1,700.00

Besides its street appeal, very little is known about this Fuji track bike. However, its close resemblance of Fuji’s 2008 Fuji x Obey has speculators guessing this fixed gear bike is the Fuji x Obey 2009 version. The urban styles of both track bikes are emerging in cities everywhere, but without the help of manufacturing assembly lines; More commonly bikes like these usually start life out at someone’s home, one piece at a time. Has Fuji tapped into the urban fixed gear scene? We’d like to thinks so.

Like the Fuji x Obey that was dropped for 2008, Fuji’s untitled track bike features a black/charcoal matted theme with a red seat post, frame neck, handlebars, wheel sets, tires, graphics, and other red accents rather than gold – to accentuate the bikes beauty. The only clue Fuji left us with is the word “League” (whatever that means) printed on the frame. We were unable to get our hands on any specs, but we’re on the look out.

In collaboration with Obey, Fuji, the founders of the “Tour of Japan” has created this retro looking Limited addition Fixed Gear track bike for the urban streets of every city. The Fuji Elios 2 frame, feature a Matte Black finish with graphics by OBEY. The bike is dressed in gold parts, which complements the frame’s color.

When I first set eyes on Fuji x Obey’s retro looking track bike at a shop in San Francisco, it didn’t appeal to me. For a manufactured bike, it certainly wasn’t bad; but for a Fuji x Obey, I expected a lot more, as I do with all collaborations. However, their popularity among urban boutique display windows allowed for many double takes. I liked the over all design, its colors, and high quality parts; I came to the conclusion that it was just something about Obey’s graphics that irked me. MSRP: $1420.
