Superfly

mtb

Algupära

Juuli 2007 (2008. mudeliaasta jaoks) Gary Fisher (enne Trek'i omandamist) Gary Fisheri kõige kergem süsinikust 29er hardtail, mis eales loodud — loodud tõestamaks, et 29" rattad suudavad konkureerida XC võidusõidu kõrgeimal tasemel. Kasutati monokokkset OCLV süsinikkonstruktsiooni ja Fisheri G2 geomeetriat, mis oli optimeeritud 29" rataste käsitsemiseks. BikeRadar (juuli 2007): 'Fisher Superfly, kõige kergem raam, mida Fisher eales tootnud, olgu see 26er või 29er' kõrge

Tehnilised andmed

Raam: OCLV Mountain Carbon (top models, ~896 g 2013 frame) or Alpha Aluminum (entry); E2 tapered head tube, BB95 press-fit, G2 Geometry
Kahvel: 100 mm; Fox Performance Float 32 (higher models), RockShox Recon/Reba (mid-range)
Jõuülekanne: 2×10 Shimano XT/SLX (final 2017 model); 2x persisted while industry moved to 1x
Pidurid: Hydraulic disc; Shimano XT/SLX (top), Shimano/Tektro lower (era-dependent)
Rattad: 29" (2008-2015 core identity), 27.5" on final 2016-2017 models
Rehvid: 29×2.0-2.2" XC tires (later models 27.5"); cross-country casing
Vedrustus: Hardtail, 100 mm front travel; full-suspension Superfly 100/FS variant existed 2010-2014 (became Top Fuel)
Rooliplokk: Bontrager XC alloy/carbon bar + stem; rigid seatpost (no dropper, XC race era)
Sadul: Bontrager XC saddle on alloy/carbon seatpost (note: 2015 FS carbon seatpost recall)
Geomeetria: XC race geometry with G2 Geometry (optimized fork offset for 29er); ~70° head angle in peak 29er years (2012-2015)
Kaal: ~11.1 kg (Superfly 9.7, 2017); carbon frame ~896 g (2013)

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Exceptionally lightweight carbon frame — sub-900g at its peak, competitive with the best in the world
G2 Geometry provided excellent handling for 29" wheels — specifically optimized fork offset
Stiff frame with good power transfer — efficient climber
Pioneer of the 29er XC movement — helped prove big wheels could race

−Nõrkused

Harsh ride on rough terrain — pure race focus meant minimal comfort features (no IsoSpeed/IsoBow)
2x drivetrain persisted through 2017 when industry had moved to 1x — the bike was aging
Late-model switch to 27.5" wheels was seen as a misstep — the Superfly was synonymous with 29er racing
Carbon seatpost on 2015 FS models had safety recall (cracking/breaking risk)

Kas teadsid

01Superfly oli Gary Fisheri kõige kergem raam, mis eales toodetud, kui see 2008. aastal turule tuli — olenemata ratta suurusest (26er või 29er)
022013. aasta Superfly süsinikraam kaalus vaid 896 grammi — konkureerides selle aja kõige kergemate raamidega maailmas (Cannondale Flash 950g juures)
03Sam Schultz, kes sõitis Gary Fisher Superfly'ga, sai hiljem USA riiklikuks XC meistriks ja esindas USA-d olümpiamängudel. Tema Trek Superfly SL Team Edition (21" raam) on hästi dokumenteeritud profiratta galeriides.
04Superfly oli võtmerelv '29er revolutsioonis' — aidates tõestada, et suurte ratastega jalgrattad võivad olla kiired JA piisavalt kerged XC võidusõidu kõrgeimal tasemel
05Kui Trek 2010. aastal Gary Fisheri kaubamärgi endasse haaras, oli Eesti jalgrattakogukonnal velo.clubbers.ee lehel spetsiaalne 'Hüvasti Gary Fisher!' teema, kus leinati iseseisva kaubamärgi kadumist
06Superfly kasutas Fisheri patenteeritud G2 geomeetriat optimeeritud kahvli nihkega 29" rataste jaoks — tehnoloogiline kontseptsioon, mis mõjutas Trek'i lähenemist suurte rataste käsitsemisele ja arenes lõpuks geomeetriasüsteemideks, mida kasutatakse Procaliberil ja teistel praegustel Trek'i mudelitel
07Täisvedrustusega Superfly 100/FS oli Trek'i esimene võistlusele orienteeritud täisvedrustusega 29er ja otsene eelkäija Trek Top Fuel'ile

Ostumärkused

№ 01

DISCONTINUED MODEL — only available on the used market. Expect prices significantly below original MSRP. Carbon models in good condition still command respect due to their exceptional frame weight.

№ 02

Check the seatpost on any 2015 Superfly FS model — there was a safety recall for cracking Bontrager Carbon seatposts. Serial numbers ending in J or K were affected.

№ 03

The 2017 models came with 2x10 drivetrains — converting to modern 1x12 is a popular and worthwhile upgrade that also saves weight

№ 04

Parts compatibility note: BB95 press-fit bottom bracket is specific to Trek — ensure replacement bearings are available before purchasing. UDH hangers are NOT used (older pre-UDH hanger system).

№ 05

Early Gary Fisher-branded Superfly models (2008-2011) may have collector value beyond their functional worth — especially in good condition with original components

№ 06

Estonian forum data shows the Superfly was extremely popular locally (39 mentions — highest of any Trek model). This means good availability on the Estonian used market but also that well-maintained examples may command premium prices.

№ 07

Natural upgrade path from Superfly: Trek Procaliber (hardtail successor) or Trek Top Fuel (if coming from Superfly FS). Both are in current production.
