For 2003
These hardtails were updated in
the 2001 model year. The frame is
unchanged.
Geometry
The regular Genesis hardtails uses
Gary Fisher’s race-proven Genesis
Geometry. These bikes use a slightly
more recreational version of that race
design. The rider sits more upright,
and the steering has been tuned to
offer increased stability with a little
less weight on the front wheel.
Ride
These bikes are stable, yet still plen-
ty nimble for some really fun single-
track riding. The most noticeable dif-
ference in the ride will be the slightly
more comfortable, and less ‘committed’
riding position. Other than that, they
still ride like a Fisher.
Frame details
These frames use our Gold or Silver alumi-
num frame technologies. These frames are
very light, with superb ride and handling for
the everyday-fun rider.
TheTarpon frames use our Cro-Moly and
Hi-tensile steel technology. Steel is very dura-
ble, and has great ride characteristics tuned
by 100 years of perfecting.
These frames have 2 water bottle mounts.
