| Pros | Disk Brakes, Kenda Tires, 100mm shocks | | Cons | Grips could be a little better | | Verdict | I purchased the 2009 model a few weeks ago and riding it has has been a blast. I like having the Disk brakes and the Kenda tires keep the bike stuck to the track. The 100 mm shock take the bump out of the track and handle log pile very well.. I do plan to change out he grips. While the work well, I like a little more cushion. This is a great bike for a beginner or an advanced rider | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | it was given to me | | Cons | grips, brakes, some shifting problems | | Verdict | this was the first mountain bike i ever had. given to me by a friend, very old, don't know what year, before i stopped riding it, it was basically falling apart. it wasn't a bad bike, i just don't think i knew what i was doing. i'm sure the newer models are completely diffrent and 10x better. i'm sure this review isn't really helping anyone. i'm sorry | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Low cost, durability, looks | | Cons | No disc brakes, handle grips | | Verdict | I purchased this bike in April 2007. If I would have known how much I love riding trails when I bought the bike, I would have gotten a better Giant bike. I thought I would mainly ride it in the street for exercise. All things aside it is an awesome bike and does just what I need it to do while on the trails. It is the same bike with a different frame as the trek 4300. I love the ride and the feel of the bike and will be a Giant owner for a long time. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Shifters, brakes, knobby Kenda tires. Looks good even sittin' still. | | Cons | Occasional difficulty shifting the front sprocket set, but that's probably my fault. | | Verdict | Great bike for beginners or older guys wanting to stay in the saddle. I have arthritis, mainly in my hands, and the shifters and brakes on this bike are easily operated and responsive. Excellent bike for the relatively low cost. | | Recommended for: Recreational riders |
| Pros | Haven't tried it yet. | | Cons | Haven't tried it yet. | | Verdict | would like to try this one out sometime | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
