* Increased fork offset = Reduced trail = quicker steering

* Decreased reach = improved ability to weigh front wheel

* Wheelbase remains the same = Retains climbing, descending ability

G2 Geometry

 

A 29er that handles better than a 26” wheeled bike.

 

G2 for 29ers have an exclusive and increased 51mm offset fork, reducing the trail to that of a 26” wheeled bike for neutral, instinctive handling

 

G2 offset only available on Fisher 29ers

 

Fit smaller riders - the small frame can fit riders down to about 5’0” due to increased

G2 fork offset for less toe overlap

 

The wheelbase remains the same for high speed stability. The amount of trail is reduced for more neutral handling at slow speed, and the cockpit was shortened to allow the rider to weight the front wheel more effectively.

OCLV Carbon

 

Full-suspension performance at Hardtail weight - 2200 gram fuselage (Fuselage = frame, rear shock & hardware)

 

Typically, carbon full-suspension bikes utilize heavy aluminum inserts where the rear shock connects to the frame. It adds weight, but manages suspension forces. Fisher pushed its carbon technology to create our first, pure carbon, co-molded shock mount.

 

Carbon’s stiffness-to-weight is unmatched so we knew a pure carbon shock mount could work, but the trick was orienting the carbon fiber to ensure optimal strength. The result is a lighter, stronger shock mount.

 

• Bottom bracket is net molded carbon and does away with traditional BB cups


• Carbon suspension link weighs only 44 grams.

• Suspension link moved from the seat tube to the top tube allowed us to remove the doublers (additional carbon layers) that would have been needed to counteract the shock forces going through the link mount


• Direct mount front derailleur opens up the whole inside area of the bottom bracket and uses far less material than other carbon designs

 

 

Decreased Wheelbase

 

A common criticism of full-suspension 29ers is the long wheelbase. So Fisher figured out how to shorten the chainstays and wheelbase for a bike as nimble as any 26" full-suspension bike.

• Seat tube is moved forward and out of the way of the rear wheel
• Direct-mount front derailleur saves an additional 9mm vs. clamp-on front derailleur
• Chainstay and wheelbase shortened for a more nimble ride

2009: Chainstay = 462mm
Wheelbase = 1126mm

2010: Chainstay = 451mm
Wheelbase = 1114mm

ABP Active Braking Pivot

 

ABP keeps suspension active while braking. You can brake later and harder in a corner and still have the suspension freely moving to keep you in control. ABP improves lateral stiffness as well. Both rear pivots are now connected by the wheel's axle, as opposed to being independent. The result is a rear swingarm with minimal lateral flex, but greatly improved suspension performance.

E2 Headtube

 

E2 Headtube increases steering precision. Tapered 1-1/8" to 1-1/2" headtube increases stiffness for precise handling. It allows for a massive downtube/headtube junction which increases overall frame stiffness, power transfer and frame strength.

XXL

 

At last, a bike for tall riders. The Superfly 100 comes in 5 sizes including the XXL (23") size. Finally, taller riders can enjoy the benefits of a properly fitting bike.

BB95

 

Integrated BB cups for pedaling power transfer. A stiffer BB area for greater pedaling efficiency and output. Reduces weight – no traditional BB cups or threaded aluminum inserts. Huge downtube/bottom bracket cross section for greater frame strength and stiffness.
