Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by singletrakkiller   on August 12, 2009   Pros disc brakes,kenda tires extended hand bars about 400 dollars Cons grips wore out to fast and r sliding off Verdict great for any first time mtb and i have the 08 model and i changed out the platform pedals for clipless and i like it more Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by coy_   on July 9, 2009   Pros i like eveything Cons grips werent real good Verdict i purchsed the newest modle about a month ago and i have had the greatest time ever riding it. it has great tires and breaks and the shifters are in a perfect spot. it has great handling and so much more. i would recomend it for any body Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by DragonRail   on August 24, 2008   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 reviewed by frelup   on February 22, 2008   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 reviewed by nycmtbr   on August 7, 2007   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 reviewed by hrtbrkr   on July 26, 2007   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.

Verdict would like to try this one out sometime Recommended for: First-time buyers
