Date Reviewed: May 19, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Great handling, very pedal - efficient , confidence builder on steep downhills, very stable at speeds. | | Weaknesses: | Rear suspension ain't very plush, a weakness for some, an advantage for some.
Chain stays are longish, makes lifting the front wheel a little hard work. | | Similar Products Used: | Most 26" trail bike on the market ,GF X-Caliber 29er | | Bike Setup: | Stock, with upgraded wheels (Bontrager Rhythm tubeless) | | Bottom Line: | I was looking for a bike light & fast enough for XC & Epic rides, but also capable of agressive XC / Trail riding.
A 4" 29er seemed like a good idea - light frame, short suspenion would provide XC capabilities, 29" wheels would be a hand on the technical stuff. I was not dissapointed. This bike does everything I expected it to do. I got only about 5 rides on it until now, but still very impressed.
The color is actually great, it's special, you don't see many (any ?) bikes with this type of green. Also IMO the Plus is great value, personally I dont feel the need for the higher models specs. Overall rating : I would actually give the bike 4.5 Flamin' Chilis, it ain't prefect, but since there ain't no 4.5 , and it sure deserves more than 4, and considering value for $$ I'll give it a 5 with this disclaimer. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 18, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Burning Spear | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$2000.00 | | Purchased At: | Five Hills / Bike 29 | | Strengths: | Great price for a FS 29 box bike. Decent components designed in, good platform to ride for a while, and then upgrade when/if needed. | | Weaknesses: | Brakes - When they're clean they work great. When dirty they howl, vibrate, and don't like to grab.
Paint - look at it funny, and it chips. | | Similar Products Used: | GF Tass Disk, RIP9 (demo ride) | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | For the money this is a great bike as it comes. It opens the door to a FS 29 to a lot of people (like me). There were some steps taken to keep the price down but no corners appear to be cut. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2090.00 | | Purchased At: | wig's wheels anniston, AL | | Strengths: | Stiff climber, confident discender, fantastic handling for a 29er. | | Weaknesses: | The superstock wheels are a little on the hefty side. | | Similar Products Used: | other Fisher bikes. | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | The G2 geometry is brilliant, and does everything it claims. This bike is awesome, especially for the money. Great value of components to price. The frame is light and strong. This bike floats over small logs and roots in the trail without hesitation or loss of momentum. Undoubtedly, one of the best trailbikes for the money. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
