Giant Obsess Advanced 27.5 2 2014 Womens Mountain Bike

Product Description

29ers are great for men. But they arent that great when it comes to female specific bikes, with their larger diameter compromising the fit & geometry. Giant have tackled this by using 27.5 wheels to offer nearly the same rollover & speed advantages of a 29er but without the need to create an awkward riding position. With its advanced grade composite frame combined with pro level geometry refined by Giants off road womens team the Obsess Advanced 27.5 2 provides a comfortable & commanding riding position which when combined with frame technologies such as an Over Drive steerer tube provides razor-sharp handling, impressive power transfer & control on even the roughest XC trails. Add a selection of top end components designed with female riders in mind including smaller handlebars, a womens specific saddle & the usual racing components like the SLX brakes, XT rear mech & Giants impressive finishing kit. Over Drive 2 As the first manufacturer to bring the tapered headtube to market
- with the 2006 Glory mountain bike
- Giant knows a thing or two about inventing solutions for enhanced steering precision. The original Over Drive technology resulted in groundbreaking stiffness-to-weight ratios, & now Giant is doing it again with an all-new standard: Over Drive 2. Advanced Composite High-performance T-700 raw carbon fiber is used to produce custom composite material in Giant’s own composite factory. Extremely lightweight, stiff & compliant, these handcrafted frames feature the monocoque construction. 3F A simple guiding principle is at the heart of all Liv/giant bikes. It’s called 3F.
