If you looking to get into mtn biking this is a great beginner bike. Not for the serious mtn biker. spend a little more & get a better bike.

Pros
The bike handles well has kept it fun riding and rode it a year stock before upgrading so it came with decent components
Cons
Had shifting problems and i didnt like the stock forks. So i upgraded!!!
Review
The rear Derailleur(replaced w/Sram X.5),Shifters/Brake levers(X.4 & avid), Forks(replaced w/Dart 3) and Headset(replaced w/ FSA Pro Pig DH). I just ordered the cockpit from FSA and cant wait. I am not a wt freak so i went for sturdiness. This bike is a great start point for the weekend warrior.
Pros
the bike is nice and nimble. I actually might lose my treecrasher title, since I seem to be able to avoid more trees. Guess I will just have to go faster and see what'll happen!
Cons
sometimes gives alittle problem shifting
Review
A good bike for all sorts of riding, it will handle quite a bit of abuse

disc brakes,kenda tires extended hand bars about 400 dollars

Review
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
Pros
Disk Brakes, Kenda Tires, 100mm shocks
Cons
Grips could be a little better
Review
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
Pros
it was given to me
Cons
grips, brakes, some shifting problems
Review
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
Pros
Low cost, durability, looks
Cons
No disc brakes, handle grips
Review
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.
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.
Review
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.
Pros
Haven't tried it yet.
Cons
Haven't tried it yet.
Review
would like to try this one out sometime
