    Summary

    Expirience with the Giant XTC SLR 2

    Giant XTC SLR 2 Review One of the sportiest bikes in this price range. The XTC SLR 2 has a very clear character. The moderate 69,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Considering that in the range under 1500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
