Expirience with the Giant XTC SLR 2

Ludwig Döhl One of the sportiest bikes in this price range. The XTC SLR 2 has a very clear character. Thanks to a moderate 69,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Giant has a sporty seating position. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Giant XTC SLR 2 to in light terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 1299 Euro range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant puts a lot of trust in its products.
