Description:Fisher's HiFi Carbon Pro takes lightweight all-mountain mastery to the next level. Fisher's ultralight OCLV carbon frame is hand-laid and features the revolutionary 5-inch travel HiFi suspension. Fox teamed up with Fisher to customize the G2 120mm-travel fork to conquer the roughest trails with ease. G2 takes Fisher's proven Genesis Geometry and improves the slow-speed handling for a no-compromise ride. Top-of-the-line spec like a Shimano XTR/SRAM X.0 drivetrain and Avid Juicy Ultimate discs await your command. Plus, the strong and light Bontrager Race X Lite tubeless wheels and the Bontrager carbon bar and seatpost will never slow you down.

Date Reviewed: April 28, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Black Diamond | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$5000.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycle Therapy | | Strengths: | Extremely light, Brakes are incredible, top of the line componants, highly adjustable suspension. | | Weaknesses: | A little flexy coming out of corners with the hammer down | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Stumpjumper | | Bike Setup: | As purchased | | Bottom Line: | This bike is really fast when you put the hammer down. I have had no problems, not even a flat. I like to ride extremely tight rough single track and this bike just tears it up. I know the price is high, but compared to the price of it's competitor the stumpjumper carbon and the magazine reviews; this bike will give you more for the money. You won't be disappointed. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 21, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Bull Mountain | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$5200.00 | | Purchased At: | Alpha Bikes | | Strengths: | Super light and very ridgid. Brakes are precise and strong. Long top tube dimension works well for my long torso frame. | | Weaknesses: | I'm a little scared of knicking the carbon fiber bars, neck and/or frame. You would'nt want to lay this bike down much. Also, the seat's gotta go. | | Similar Products Used: | Santa Cruz Blur LT, Gary Fisher Sugar, Santa Cruz Superlight, Gary Fisher Cake 1 DLX | | Bike Setup: | Stock componets but swapped seat to SELLE ITALIA FLITE GEL and tires to Panaracer Fire XC Pros | | Bottom Line: | The few pounds of difference between this bike and my Blur LT are more noticible than I expected. It "felt" faster because of the weight - all else being equal. It does'nt seem give up any terrain absoption either - very comfortable over anything. If you like the long top tube geometry of Gary Fisher bikes you will love this bike. It feals like a lighter, stronger Sugar with more travel. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 9, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Auburn | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$5000.00 | | Purchased At: | The Bike and Trike - Rock Springs, Wyoming | | Strengths: | Light, Rigid, Great handling. Juicy Ultimate Brakes are easy pulling and strong grabbing. Suspension is highly adjustable and absorbs the trail beautifully. | | Weaknesses: | Uncomfortable stock seat - it was a torture device. Creaking in the pivot points. A lot of difficulty getting the rear derailleur dialed in. Seatclamp is not quick release (to save weight I assume) which is inconvenient for large up and down hill rides. Paint peals at the slightest touch. | | Similar Products Used: | Gary Fisher HiFi, Gary Fisher HiFi Plus | | Bike Setup: | Mostly stock but I switched to a Specialized Rival SL seat after my first ride. | | Bottom Line: | An amazing bike, weighing in at around 24 lbs. It is so light you hardly know that it is under you, and it handles like a dream. Handles perfectly at slow speeds, high speeds, in open terrain and during technical rides. Not as good looking as the Ibis, but still an eye catcher. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
