Frame material: The X-Caliber's frame was made from Platinum Series 6066 butted and hydroformed aluminum, providing a lightweight yet stiff and durable chassis. This alloy was used on several higher-end Gary Fisher models during this time.
29er wheels: Gary Fisher was an early and prominent proponent of 29er bikes, and the X-Caliber was praised for its larger wheels. Reviewers noted they provided impressive traction and improved roll-over performance on rough terrain.
G2 geometry: The bike featured Fisher's G2 geometry, which used a unique fork offset to provide quicker steering and better handling on the larger 29-inch wheels, without sacrificing overall stability.
Great Condition, some new parts, and a recent full tune-up.
Hardtail design: As a hardtail, the bike featured a front suspension fork but no rear suspension. The 2010 model typically came with an 80mm travel fork.
Cross-country focus: The X-Caliber was designed as a high-performance cross-country (XC) bike, optimized for fast and efficient riding on various trails.
The Gary Fisher Collection
By 2010, the Gary Fisher brand had been rebranded as the "Gary Fisher Collection" under its parent company, Trek. It was the final year that new bikes were released under the Gary Fisher name before the mountain bikes were fully integrated into the Trek lineup.
Availability
While no longer sold new, the 2010 Gary Fisher X-Caliber and other models from the Gary Fisher Collection occasionally appear for sale on used markets. Platforms like Bicycle Blue Book, eBay, and Pinkbike sometimes feature listings for these bikes.
