Just got this from a little birdie about Giant’s forthcoming 29ers….apparently they’re set to start shipping NEXT WEEK! So get down to your local Giant bike shop and place your order now. (click image to enlarge)
  • Optimized Geometry to ride “in” the bike not “on” it.
  • Special, Giant-designed Rim  with a square profile to offer a stiffer wheel, which they claim will offer a better ride.
  • Frame tube manipulation to optimize stiffness.
  • Tapered steering tube.

The first two models making their way to stores are the 29er “2”, which should hit next week, and the “1” should follow about a week later.  This info comes from leaked internal sales rep documents

Hit ‘more’ for specs and more pics…
