Giant AC bike review
Giant produced the AC bike in 2005 and can be classified as a Mountain bike bicycle.AC bike is available in many sizes such as 17 (inches), 18 (inches) and 19 (inches).
Giant Mountain bike AC can be found in one single color which is Dark Green.
This bike is equiped with Front: 26 x 2.50" Kenda Blue Groove tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex DP-20, 36-hole. Giant equiped this exact model with Hayes Sole XC front/Hayes SOLE HD rear brakes, Hayes levers braking system and Formula disc hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Giant used ALUXX aluminum material for the frame. Easton high strength material is used on the handlebar of this AC to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum 31.8mm.
For the smoothest biking experience TruVativ Isoflow, 22/32/42 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-IG51 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Giant, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Alivio gear shift levers.
