More Maestro and a new range of components from Giant for 2010
Giant's
new 2010 lineup of full-suspension mountain bikes will retain the
company's superb Maestro dual-link architecture and geometry but
virtually everything will change. Topping the XC range is team rider Adam Craig's race bike of choice,
the revamped 100mm (4")-travel full-carbon Anthem X Advanced SL. At a
paltry 2.1kg (4.63lb) claimed weight for a painted frame w/shock and
hardware, it's a full 200g (0.44lb) lighter than last year's aluminum
Anthem X. Even better, a top-end medium-sized '10 Anthem X Advanced SL0
built with SRAM's new XX group will peg the needle at an impressive
9.8kg (21.8lb) straight out of the box without pedals.
