Rolls like a 29er; turns like a 26er

For 2008, Fisher rethought the handling of its big wheelers with a 29er-specific version of Genesis 2 geometry. To improve the slow-speed handling of the original Genesis geometry, Fisher increased the offset of its suspension forks to reduce the trail (the horizontal distance, measured at the ground, between the steering axis and the center of the front hub). Fisher discovered that a 51mm fork offset (5mm more than Fisher's 26er G2 custom offset and 9 to 11mm more than most suspension forks) improved slow-speed handling and gave the 29er the smooth handling feel of a Fisher G2 26er. Like the original HiFi, the Plus's linkage-activated suspension has minimal to zero pedal bob and good performance for fast cross-country riding.
