ProsFrame/Geometry, weight, Componentry except brakes
ConsThe brakes do require some maintenance it seems, and despite that, don't seem to stop as well as they did when i got the bike.
VerdictThis is my first "real" mountain bike and i totally love it. I ride a lot of east coast singletrack (rocks, roots, mud) and it eats it up. It seems to be very fast on the downhills and handles very well. I got a phenomenal deal on an end of season 2007 (paid an amazing $1400), and i can't rave enough about it.

ProsI have the 29er version and the frame and suspension are the bomb diggity.
ConsThe tires are not tubeless ready.
VerdictBUY THIS BIKE!!! it is awesome. I have a 26" fisher tass custom and this bike is better at climbing, descending, handling and it floats of bumps like they are nothing.

ProsVariable suspension is the shiznit! flip of switch and it climbs like a billy goat. but then it climbs well anyway! Very agile and responsive. The bike is the same frame as the $5,000 pro.
ConsHand grips (swapped), Tires (swapped)
VerdictCan't wait to upgrade to tubeless. A Can't miss. The most value for your $$. But then I'm partial to this bike because I own it!!

ProsGreat geometry. Quality components. Easy handling. Awesom front and rear suspension.
ConsI'm not crazy about the Bontrager saddle that came with it, but that's easy to swap out. The Avid Juicy 3 Hydrolic brakes are difficult to maintain yourself, so if you have a problem, it's off the the bike shop you go (and bring money.)
VerdictI recently upgraded to the HiFi Plus from a CDale Super-V 700. This is my first Fisher bike, and I love it.
