Gary Fisher HiFi 29

The first time that the Gary Fisher HiFi 29 Full Suspension mountain bike was released onto the market, critics and consumers were not terribly impressed.
True to form, Fisher and company quickly took the model off the market, and they went about solving the concerns that the biking public had raised. After some reconfiguring and trouble shooting on the problem areas, the bike was then released, and the mountain bike community was much more receptive this time around.

Having the sense to listen to constructive criticism, the Gary Fisher team managed to produce one of the finest full suspense mountain bikes that are on the market today.

Just the visual look of the finished model of the HiFi 29 makes this a mountain bike that is a pleasure to behold with an aesthetically pleasing design of form and function perfectly integrated.

The general construction of the Gary Fisher HiFi 29 Full Suspension mountain bike has resulted in a truly solid piece of equipment. Without getting to technical, the frame on the HiFi 29 manages to be reasonably light weight while retaining a solid construction through the virtue of a main frame and stays that are forged inhydroformed and butted aluminum.

However, it is the G2 suspension that really makes the 29" wheeled bike a bike that is both powerful and intuitively forgiving. The suspension and the alignment of the steering axis with the center of the front wheel lets this 29" suspension bike ride a feel like a 26" bike, making it a great solution for smaller riders and giving the bike greater overall stability.

Other features of the Gary Fisher HiFi 29 full suspension mountain bike include a saddle, seat post, handlebar and grips designed and manufactured by Bontrager, as well as a decent set of Avid Juicy hydraulic disk brakes.

Owners of the Gary Fisher HiFi 29 are particularly pleased with how well the bike performs on troublesome inclines with the rear suspension in full effect.

 The traction on the Dry X tires is excellent, and the overall feel of the ride inspires confidence on rough back country terrain. As far as criticisms, many point out that the HiFi29 is not the smoothest feeling ride on earth, but it really was not designed to be.

Others point out that the G2 suspension makes the HiFi 29 particularly responsive to minor adjustments in steering, and it can take a little used to apply a nimbler touch to quick steering, especially when heading downhill.
