Expirience with the Giant FATHOM 1

Ludwig Döhl Undamped trail fun. That's what the Taiwanese promise with their FATHOM 1 . The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
