Giant Mountain Bikes Australia: A Monster in the Cycling Industry

Giant Mountain Bikes Australia, as the name implies, is a brand of mountain bikes manufactured by an Australian company. Giant has been in the business of bicycle manufacturing for almost three decades and has established itself as one of the biggest names in the bicycle industry. The products from this firm are offered in over 50 countries.

Products under the Giant Mountain Bikes Australia brand are distributed in various forms and models. The firm has downhill models, all condition models and startup level bike types. One of the more popular model series offered by the firm is the XTC. In the current year, the firm has released several more models under the XTC line; the XC Hardtail 06, the XtC Composite, the XtC Zero, the XtC 1 and the XtC 3.

The XC Hardtail 06 is a full composite and alloy-strengthened hardtail bike. The bike can be used by entry level and recreational users and also by professional racers. The XtC Composite, also released in 2006, features the company’s TCR Advanced technology on its frame. The Composite is designed with T-800/T-1000 blended high modulus carbon fibers, Nano Epoxy resins and Offset Neutral Surface tube profiling. These materials provide the model with a blend of stiffness, weight and strength and a compliant ride quality.

Another 2006 offering, the XtC Zero, features Fox forks, Avid Juicy breaks, SRAM X-O triggers, rear derailleur and a tubeless wheel set. Meanwhile, the 2006 XtC 1 has an ALUXX SL frame, a Rockshox Motion Control-damped Reba forks and Shimano XT shifters and derailleurs. This model is also equipped with Avid Juicy 5 hydraulic disc brakes, Mavic/DT swiss wheel set and top flight components. Another model in this lineup is the XtC 3. This model is marketed as an affordable bike and has a light built. The frame is the same as that of the XtC 1 and it features Rockshox Motion Control-damped Tora forks, Shimano cranks, Hayes HFX-9 hydraulic disc brakes and a quality finishing kit from Easton, WTB, Mavic and Hutchinson.
