I'm thinking about getting one. How do you like yours? What are the Pros and Cons?
I'm 6'4'' ( 195cm ), what size should I get?
It's U$ 300 more than the HiFi Plus, Is it worth that price?
Thanks!
I have a 2011 HiFi Deluxe but it has mostly XP parts on it. Had a 2010 HiFi pro last season. My 2010 was a 17.5" Med frame. I'm 5'10" and it was borderline too small. Got a 19" Large this year and swapped my parts over.
I sold the Mustangs but they are TLR ready so you can just order the TLR strips and stems and you'll be all set. I am using the Rhythm Elites that came on my Pro, they are lighter.

I'm 6'1" and grabbed a Large. I gotta imagine you'd feel more comfortable on an XL as the standovers are nice and low.
I think the Plus is the sweet spot in the line. Definitely worth the $300 if you plan in riding fairly regularly. I grabbed the a leftover Pro at a deep discount, otherwise I would have gotten the Plus myself.
Good luck!
EDIT: Sorry...I meant Deluxe, not Plus. The Deluxe is the sweet spot in the line.
If I remember correctly, the stock bar was in the 660-680mm range. I swapped it out at the shop for no cost. I found the big sweep to be very uncomfortable and went to a low riser 680mm bar. At my height, I've been very happy with that choice. But I ran a low rise on my 26-inch bike and my Paragon, too.
Size-wise, I am 6 ft on the nose and ride the 21 in the Deluxe, as recommended by two different shops. FWIW I would ride a 19 on the hard-tail (was also considering Paragon). The HiFi FS lineup runs a little small. Still need to swap to the seatpost to a set-back model. I rode a 19 in my old Sugar 293, and was borderline for the 17.5, so this new lineup is def. on the smaller side. IMO you would def. need a 23.

Nope. Monkey Lite XC. The med 2010 I had had the same TT length as my Kona at the time (on paper). In reality it was about 1/2" shorter.
