The Giant XTC Advanced 2 hardtail bike has a lightweight carbon frame made to fly up climbs and also handle its own on the way down. The Shimano SLX drivetrain is reliable and quick shifting, and the Fox Float fork gives you control through rough XC trails.
With its geometry, the Giant XTC ADVANCED 2 is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Racebike of Giant.

Giant have spent years refining their XTC range and this bike looks sorted and fast! The angular white frameset finished off with bold black decals gives a simple, smooth, but purposeful look to what is a race breed beauty.

The XTC immediately feels lighter and more agile than the other bikes we have been riding for this issue and the desire to go faster was soon given into and the power put down. Hitting the lock out does not actually lock the fork, but it does firm it up enough to be effective and jumping on the pedals brings an impressive burst of speed that saw it...
The frame is the big bonus here, it’s angles are sweet for fast, tight riding and it’s light weight and good looks mean that hanging top end kit off it as bits wear out will only enhance and fulfil it’s potential.
