@grootif Yea I'm definitely thinking about it. The only reason Im worried about getting a Hifi is Im not sure its burly enough. I like the fuel EX8's 5 inches of travel and the durability and toughness of a singletrack bike, vs an XC bike. Also I want to be able to do a bit of moderate downhill and jumps/drops. Also considering remedy. Got a tough decision, thanks for the advice!

@JHawk29er I really like the Deluxe, but I also have a Superfly 100 if I need to ride something lighter. I have done 12 hour races on the HIFI, it is fast and comfortable. For the money, you can't go wrong....but the Pro will have a nicer fork, and a step up in components. I owuld go with the Pro if you can afford it.

Very nice footage!! I'm thinking about purchasing the Deluxe or Pro for XC racing in New Jersey. So far, I hear only good things about both. Decisions.??..

@esuare I can't say enough good things about this bike! It is proving to be a great all around trail bike. I highly encourage you to check one out....the handling is spot-on, and it will make you want to ride all day.
what kind of camera

@lkboredmaster this was filmed with the original Gopro. I have since upgraded to the HD.

how are the handlebars on that... heard reviews say that they are fairly uncomfortable

@philipn21 I dig them. they may feel strange if you are used to a straight/flat bar....But It didn't take long at all to get comfortable with the wide swept-back bars.

Im looking for a good all around trail bike that can even handle a little bit of tech stuff. I currently have a GF X-Cal 29er and want to get something full suspension. Trying to decide between the Hifi deluxe and the Fuel EX 8. I ride a lot of trails that look like these in Arizona. Would you recommend as an all-around singletrack bike?

@godmathias I would tkae the HIFI over the fuel EX8. the hifi rides and performs like a 26er, only way better....you wont regret it.....
