Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe GS Named Best Women's Mountain Bike by Bicycling Magazine

The Genesisters bikes for women have been a smashing success. So it stands to reason in the June issue of Bicycling, the Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe GS was named by its editors as the best Women’s Mountain Bike for 2007.

The editors commended the tracking of the bike while ascending or descending, and at slow speeds in tight single track. This is a credit to the Genesis 2.0 Geometry that creates neutral handling.

The HiFi Deluxe GS is an extremely lightweight trail bike with 5” of travel up front and in back. The smartly designed single pivot suspension climbs efficiently while soaking up all sorts of obstacles. It features a Manitou Minute Comp Air fork with the custom offset developed specifically for this bike. The result is a nimble, versatile bike that intuitively goes where you want it.

Receiving the accolade for the women’s model of the HiFi was especially rewarding. It validated all of the effort that went into customizing the geometry and spec of the bike to better fit women’s biomechanical characteristics.

As a bike platform, the HiFi has received a warm welcome with glowing reviews in several print and online publications and has appeared on the cover of Mountain Bike Action. Later this year, Fisher will be upping the ante again with the introduction of the HiFi Carbon models. The best handling, lightest trail bikes on the market. Period.
