Expirience with the Giant XtC SLR 1

Ludwig Döhl One of the sportiest bikes in this price range. The XtC SLR 1 has a very clear character. On the scale, the Giant Hardtail with 11,1 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 2000 Euro are heavier. The moderate 69,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 1799 Euro . The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
