I have read a number of Tim’s reviews about the 29er, and I agree 100% with his assessment. This is truley one of the most incredible rides out there. I bought a 2004 Gary Fisher Sugar 293. What a beast!

The Bike Playgrounds in Arizona were designed with the 29 in mind. Case in point: our last ride out at Elephants Head south of Tucson. It’s a 9 mile out and back shaped like a U on an elevation chart. Dropping into the bottom of the U is a single track trail of basketball sized sharp loose rocks. The 3 hardtails that were riding with us all bounced out of their saddle and clips. A couple of the full suspension 26″ riders bounced out. My 293 romped down the trail like a four-wheeler romping through the dunes. What a ride!

I highly recommend a test ride. Check out Gary Fisher’s website to see when the demo ride is coming to a trail near you. That’s what sold me.
