Expirience with the Giant Fathom 29 2 | V2

Ludwig Döhl The Fathom 29 2 | V2 may not be an iconic trail hardtail, but the team at Giant from Taiwan is aiming to captivate a slice of the fiercely competitive market with it nonetheless. Giant is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Fathom 29 2 | V2 wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Trailbike von Giant scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
