Most mountain bikers are just dorks, plain and simple, so they love the idea of a cool mountain biker.
Often times, the guy with the amazing natural talent doesn't have the work ethic. He is still an icon and I will always respect what he did and the way he did it, being a young...
Best looking Giant I've ever seen in my life.
I agree, Shimano/ Fox stuff made the bike much better, but this probably keeps the package cheap.
Although it's a sick /affordable Aluminum frame, I think Giant will eventually have to start selling carbon Glory's and Reign's to stay competitive in...
In the age of lighter, simpler, carbon or streamlined aluminum DH bikes, you have this over complicated, heavy, ..... I just don't see someone's logic as to why they would consider buying this bike...
I took the plunge and got the RC4 as well on my NomadC. First ride I just rode it in the factory settings, which felt stiff. I have since backed out the LSC, HSC, and Bottom Out settings all the way, and reduced the Air pressure to 125. I'm 205lb and have the 400lb spring. I prefer to have...
So RidgeRider, the RC4 wasn't THAT much better? I currently have the 2011 RP23 on my NomadC, but after riding my DH bike this weekend, I feel like putting on a RC4 will give it that planted, lower in the travel, DH bike feel that's oh so fun.
My thoughts are that I can buy the RC4 with Ti...
Reminds me of an interview I just watched of some kid on Vital I've never heard of. I don't get all the inside jokes nor does 98% of the outside world. It's corny, and makes all us bikers look like bufoons. I agree with you all, more riding, less talking, unless the rider is funny and...
I think the pedals and wheels look good on the bike, but the red cables are going too far. Overall, the bike looks incredible, good job. Curious to see some reviews once people get to owning and riding these 9.9 Carbons....
I went opening weekend last summer and was disappointed, to say the least. For opening weekend, the locals didn't do S#$@ for trail work.
This was always my local mountain and the trails are epic, Blowhard and Dark Hollow are incredible, but I left wondering how much better the place would be...
I love love love the old school paint theme, but back in the day, Yeti stepped up with custom matching forks and such. C'mon guys, step it up to Yeti's old glory!
Give me a custom matched Fox 40 for $3800 and I'm in.... and Oh yeah, the Gwin matching race kit.
A whole new level of bike dork....

Now, I'm the first to admit, I'm a bike dork. I'm contemplating spending $250 bucks on pedals to save a...
I would guess the Specialized is now forced to get emerging trend of the "superlight race machine" offerings from Giant, Trek, and, Intense.
The Specialized Rep's aren't saying much at the moment, and may not know, but I'm sure a lighter weight, refined version is coming.
Everyone calls...
What is the exact weight of a Session 88 frame? I've searched everywhere, I'm curious to know if it's lighter than a 2010 Glory or my Uzzi VP.
Sick build Cyclist!
To the creators of this site: You all are brilliant. You speak with years of angst, something only a passive aggressive, lifelong bike dork could write. I'd be writng the same stuff if I stayed "chasing the dream" of being a Pro mountain biker, making $30K a year. Good thing I quit racing...
