Which MTB?

[PeterV]

I am new to cycling and am not sure which MTB to get. I have narrowed it down to the Giant Yukon 09 and the GT Avalanche 2.0 based on my budget.

 

Thanks

I voted the GT but thats just because I am biased and love GT's. Don't even know the specs of each bike.

 

 

 

Seriously though, get which ever bike YOU like most. Not what we tell you to get. In the end you are gonna have to live with it.

GT has a strong frame.

[AndreZA]

which eve one fits you best. I found the GTs are a bit longer (racier) then the Giants which are more upright.

Spec for speck they similar

 

Try go for a Giant Alias its a bit more,. but much better, or better still Giant Talon

 

Left Field- try a Felt

GT - German Tourist

ride both bikes if you can.

the one with personality, that WANTS to go riding even if you don't feel like it, is yours

The gt tripple triangle frame is quite racy, so if you are after a more leisurely and probly upright riding style the giant would be better I think.

Go GT!!!

Thanks to every one who posted on the blog. I did finally buy a second hand Giant XTC with excellent components and is virtually brand new. Ironically it looks a lot like the GT Avalanche.

 

Thanks again

Peter
