"ONE TO PUT ON YOUR WISH LIST"

Giant's new 2010 XtC 2 features in this months IMB Magazine and testers were more than impressed by Giant's 'lithe, strong...race bred beauty';

“Giant have spent years refining their XtC range and this bike looks sorted and fast!”

“The angular white frameset, finished off woth bold blackdecals gives a simple, smooth, but purposeful look to what is a race bred beauty.”

“..the Giant AluxX SL aluminium Fluid Formed TM tubes are shaped and butted to give a lithe, strong frameset.”

“The XtC immediately feels lighter and more agile than the other bikes we have been riding…the desire to go faster was soon given in to..”

“..jumping on the pedals brings an impressive burst of speed that saw it scampering off up the trail ahead of the pack.”

“..the flat bar and stretched cockpit gave a sense of urgency which had us pushing hard and enjoying the sensation of head down, legs pumping, how fast can I go speed.”

“The XtC is a cracking bike that you will want to blast around the woods and the frame is good enough to provide years of fast paced service at a reasonable price. Striking good looks, lightweight and the potential to be upgraded make the Giant one to put on your wish list.”
