Giant XTC 2
I finally decided to upgrade and buy myself a new bike. I was going to buy the Giant Yukon, but when I test rode the XTC, I was hooked. Giant’s all-new XtC frames feature ALUXX SL butted alloy tuned for minimal weight and maximum strength—perfect for the XC racecourse or cruising your favorite local singletrack. So, I love the shifting that I get from the SRAM X5, triggers. The rear dérailleur are SRAM X5s, and let me tell you, what a step up from the Shimano Deores.
