You ladies want a moment to gather your opinions?

[Mada3400]

i would sell my left nut for one of those

[Ryanpmb]

Still a Giant.

Very interesting geometry.

 

I see they fixed the cramped cockpit feel of the mediums.

 

TT on a medium it is now 600mm compared to the 585mm & a large coming in at 610mm of the previous generation(s).

 

Maybe it's ust me that's happy about it, but now a nice & short stem can be fitted to the medium.

 

The price is a bit steep IMO considering wheels & in house brand cockpit stuff.

 

Would love to test ride 1 of these to say the least!

Oh, I see it is in 27,5" ......... The pony tails that do advertising got your worm too turn again!!!!!!!!!!!

Weight

 

How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer.

Yeah they've always done that.

 

Why dodn't they just list the frame weights? (with or without shock)

Nice thing about a longer top tube, is that you can run a shorter stem while maintaing the required reach from saddle to bar. Shorter stem = Nice handling in tech sections.

 

But they have slackened the head angle as well. This means that they must have shortened the chain stays to keep the wheelbase length at bay.

 

Looking forward to proper reviews on this one.

wow its easy to get a lot of people to look at your thread, you just put some sexual innuendo in the title
