Apparently lighter than the fusion 2, I've always liked the weight of mine because they drive in themselves in ice but for long or steep routes above my grade I can see the appeal.

It still doesn't look like you can get an adze or a propper hammer fitted to them though.

Also seems like they fixed the pinkie-rest problem that was on the Fusion 2s (too tight curve on the pinkie-rest causing it the get squashed, now the bottom seems more flat, hence better).

I'll admitt I hadn't noticed that on the new ones but then again I've never had a problem with the old handle.

If wearing thing gloves, it was not big of a problem... but I got into problems when I was wearing thicker gloves...
