Overview
About this bike
The easier it is to roll over things, the more fun you have. Fact. Giant's Rainier 29er 0 gives you steamrolling power with big, 29-inch wheels and a solid parts package to get you through the trails in style. It all starts with Giant's ALUXX aluminum frame that's tough and durable, while being light and responsive— just what you need for singletrack excursions. The front end gets a 100mm-travel RockShox fork to tame the really bumpy stuff, and the whole thing rolls on Giant wheels with Kenda knobbies. And, the build kit is a solid mix of Shimano and SRAM components with 27 speeds of hill-climbing, easy-pedaling action, and Avid disc brakes for awesome speed control.
