Back in 2001 Gary Fisher had a crazy notion. He and a couple other non-traditionalists were messing with 29” wheeled mountain bikes. It was a fringe concept at the time. Gary’s crazy notion was to start mass producing and offering “29ers” to the masses. Fast forward seven years and 29ers are the hottest thing going in the mountain bike world. With Fisher’s legacy in 29ers, it made perfect sense forGary Fisher Bikes to sponsor a group of 29er riders from across the nation and world as they race exclusively on Fisher 29ers.

Gary Fisher has supported regional riders for many years. It just so happened, that a lot of these riders were already 29er believers. When we stepped back, we saw a nice stable of riders racing and winning on Fisher 29ers. Given our commitment to the big wheels, it made sense to bring these riders together under the banner of the Gary Fisher 29er Crew.

The 29er Crew is a mix of XC racers, single-speeders, XTerra types, and endurance junkies. They’re just starting out their race career and they’re well-established in their scene. They’re the ambassadors for 29ers, Gary Fisher, and our sport of mountain biking.  In short, they’re the type of people we like to ride with.
