Giant XTC 1

Goto comments Leave a comment

Well after not riding for more than two years, I decided to get back into it and recently purchased a new bike.  Mostly due to influence from a co-worker I have decided on the Giant XTC 1.  It’s my first bike with hydraulic breaks and I can’t contain myself till I get to ride it.  I’m looking forward to discovering Toronto’s trails and hidden gems. :)   I am now feverishly googling for mountain bike trails and maps of the area…

  • Fox 32 F100 RL w/Lockout

    Hey, did you buy this bike in australia? I also got a XTC1 and I bought it in Montréal but the specs are different. You should check it out on Giant Canada.

    Anyways how do you like it? Its a pretty nice machine, really well-built. The only thing I suggest is to cut the handlebar depending of your shoulders. It gives a better control.

    Finally if you want to travel and try different mountain look up for Bromont and Val-David in Quebec. Theres some really long trail in Vermont too.

    See you,

    Hi Max! No I actually bought it at a bike store here in Toronto. The bike is SOLID, I had a Rockhopper a few years back but this one is way better, especially with the hydraulic breaks. My shoulders are wide so the handlebars are perfect.
    Thank you for your suggestions, maybe next summer I will travel to Quebec and check out Bromont or Val-David.

    Take Care!!
