Foresthill
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$4500.00
Purchased At:
Mad Cat Bicycles of Sacramento, CA
Strengths:
Weight, appearance, smooth ride, great race bike. Rails the corners. As a tall guy, 29'ers are the only way to go for me.
Weaknesses:
None.
Similar Products Used:
Gary Fisher Sugar 292
Bike Setup:
Reba, Fox RP, Juicy 7's, Race Face Cranks, Sram XO
Bottom Line:
I ordered up this bike after my Sugar 292 was stolen off the back of my car (despite two locks). Sherwood and the gang took the time to make a bike that fit me like a glove, which was not easy (I'm 6'5"). My first ride I noticed a major difference from the Fisher! Times on my favorite trails improved by minutes and my racing dramatically improved. Sure, it was a big investment, but well worth it.
