29ers are big news in the US, and we are dipping our toes in the water offering two Gary Fisher signature collection Trek; this X-Caliber model, and the Paragon.

Gary Fisher was the pioneer of 29ers, and with his bikes now a signature range within Trek's range, it seems only right that if we're going to stock 29ers they should be Gary Fishers.

29ers were devised to tackle bigger obstacles, imagine a skateboard hitting a stone, and the impact that has on small wheels, this logic is then applied to mountain bike wheels, with 29ers rolling over obstacles with greeater ease than a conventional 26 inch wheel. In addition to that, 29ers roll faster, making them great for fast trail riding.

The Gary Fisher signature 29ers are designed as 29ers from the ground up, with the geometry altered to factor in the larger wheel size. The X-Caliber is equipped with Sram 10 speed drivetrain and triple chainset, with a Rockshox Reba RL 29 100mm travel fork specially designed to fit a 29er, with Avid Juicy 3 disc brakes to provide the stopping power.

Still not convinced? Then try our Paragon 29er Test Bike.

This could be the bike that alters your riding forever.
