I am absolutly stoked with the rear suspension design, I am a HT man my self, but after having my ATX 870 stolen i thought i might give this bike a chance. So far it is great, nice and light and when it gets rough, the rough gets going :lol: all round great geo. great starter kit for XC racing, awesome value for money!

Well from about the 3rd ride the rear suspension started developing slop, Giant replaced all the bushings under warranty, but it took about 2 months before they actually sent the proper set! after that its been sweet, up until now the rebound on the forks seems to of shit its self, only bad thing is its abit springy but no real drama. it hasnt got the lightest parts but it is a pretty good weight, still has great potential for weight savings which is always good for upgrading in the future.
