Gary Fisher
You’d hope that one of the founding fathers of mountain biking produced a decent bike and you’d be right. The Gary Fisher bikes live in the shadow of their parent brand, Trek, but they’re worth a closer look. I feel that the Gary Fisher hardtails are a better bet than their Trek stablemates, though the bias shifts in Trek’s favour as you move into the full-suspension ranges. Gary Fisher are also proud of the 29er credentials - if you’re looking for a big wheeled bike then they’re definitely worth searching out.
