2008 Giant Yukon Hardtail with Disc

Posted by admin | April 10, 2008 .


So this is the bike I am going to buy soon. I test rode the Trek 5 series and Trek 6 series, the Specialized Rockhopper disc, Cannondale f5 and f7, and finally the Giant Yukon. I like the Yukon the best because it felt really good to when riding. It almost was designed for my body. I am 5 foot 11 inches tall, I tried the Large which is the 20 inch frame. I liked that it felt very solid and rigid. I read that the frame and wheels are very strong and og good quality. It comes with Hayes Mechanical disc brakes MX-4, which are in the entry level grade, but those will soon be replaced.
