Expirience with the Giant XTC ADVANCED 1.5

Ludwig Döhl Mercilessly light, mercilessly sporty, mercilessly fast. This is how the XTC ADVANCED 1.5 can be described. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Giant XTC ADVANCED 1.5 has a sporty seating position. On the downhill, however, the Giant Racebike is left in the dust by its competitors. The easy rolling tires, the 455 wide range of gears and the lock-out capacity of the suspension underline the sporty ambitions in the uphill. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
