Product Description
The Giant XTC Advanced 1 is the definition of pure XC speed. A carbon hardtail delivering a superbly responsive ride quality and maximum efficiency on fast, flowing single track. Built onto a lightweight Advanced grade carbon frame with large diameter 29 inch wheels, the XTC eats up flowing XC terrain. The frame is engineered with a top stiffness to weight ratio, translating into a lightweight overall build with efficient pedalling power and precise, nimble handling on the trail. The XCR-1 composite wheelset is tubeless ready equipped with Maxxis Recon Race tyres, enabling you to run a tubeless set up reducing your rolling resistance, adding comfort and compliance to your ride as well as massively reducing the chances of a puncture ruining your day on the trails. The wheels also feature Boost hub spacing, improving wheel stiffness and providing clearance for wider tyres if you wish. The Shimano Deore XT 12 speed groupset provides slick and smooth shifting over an unparalled range of gears, giving you an appropriate gear for grovelling up the steepest climbs and flying down the fastest fire roads. Deore XT hydraulic disc brakes provide superb stopping power, consistent in all riding conditions with perfect modulation, giving you confidence in your braking performance so you can scrub off speed just when you need to.
