Gary Fisher HiFI XC Trail
For avid bikers looking for speed and maneuverability, the Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bike may be the perfect option. Although this bike is a 29” wheeled bike, it has the light weight, speed, and agility of the 26”. Through several technological innovations, Fisher has managed to increase the power, shorten the frame, and add stability without increasing the weight of the bike.Fisher offers three styles in the HiFi XC series: the HiFi Pro 29, the HiFi Deluxe 29, and the HiFi Plus 29.
The Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bike is an aluminum version of its relative, the carbon Superfly 100. This bike has some of the best features of the Superfly 100, including the shortened chain stay and wheel base and the uniquely positioned seat tube which has been moved forward on the frame.
The brakes on the Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bike are also designed for better performance. The active braking pivot (ABP) allows the rider more lateral control which allows the rider more control on the curves, saves time, and increases stability. With this braking system and a steering system designed to react at amazing speeds, this bike is perfect for switchbacks and rough terrain.
The suspension of the Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bike is noticeably more reactive than other bikes in its class. This is partly because of the custom Fox RP24 offset fork and the 51 mm offset crown which work with the heavy duty shocks to smooth out bumps significantly. The extra-large wheels also hold the road while providing a more comfortable ride.
Although these bikes weigh in at under twenty-seven pounds, they can handle the roughest trail with ease. The Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bike is an exceptional vehicle for climbing and comes equipped with Shimano M525 hubs and Bontrager rims and tires. These bikes handle both high speeds and low speeds in the same efficient manner, giving the rider easy balance and weight shifting ability.
The Gary Fisher HiFI XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain Bikes are coveted not only for their technological advantages, but also they are appreciated for their stylish design. The frame flows freely with curves and lines that appeal to the artistic nature, and the color is brilliant. The saddle curves slightly with a center depression which is both smart and comfortable.
The suggested retail prices of the bikes in the Gary Fisher HiFi XC Trail Full Suspension Mountain series range from almost $2,300 to almost $3,500, but most owners say these bikes are worth the money. They offer the quickness, expert handling, and manageability of a 26” bike while giving the stiffness of a 29er.
