hello guys

I havn't been following the bikes for a while.

the new giant 2009 XtC range is released in place like taiwan...

I know the spec is going to be different when coming to UK.

but is there any major upgrade/ improvements, perticularly the frame


Thanks

    Not sure on the spec but expect most 2009 bikes to jump in price over 2008 models.

    I had an XTC 3 when it came out and was very fast and agile
    fab hard tail had much fun on that until someone used me as a
    give way line and was the end of that bike!

    Buy one but then try a Orange hardtail too

    Giant normally release their bikes at a different time to the other manufacturers.Normally release them in the spring rather than the autumnso you may be waiting some time.Best to check the Giant UK website.
    Bear in mind the that in line with other bike manufacturers,all 2009 models are likely to be at least 10% more expensive and the deals to be had on current Giants are very good, you may be better offf buying now.

    Having said that, I bought my 2008 XtC in September 2007. I believe they often do a mid-year tweak to some of their models though...
