Giant Ac Mountain Bike By Ben Whynot on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
The Giant AC is a mountain bike with 6.5 inches of travel in the rear shock and 5 inches in the front fork. The bike is not a very heavy bike in the mountain bike scheme of things, but it is built very study. The components are of good quality, but the front fork which is a "Mailbou" fork could have been replaced with a slightly higher quality fork. The rear shock is great, with a rebound adjustment so you can set it to your personal preference. The bike comes in a forest green color with a grey and black fork. It is a very sharp looking bike. It is very comfortable on trails ranging from flat gravel trails to downhill trails with obstacles and jumps. The bike has hydraulic hayes disk-brakes in the front and rear which work wonderfully. If you plan on using it for distance I would suggest less rugged tires. Overall I believe the bike is worth the price and it compares to some $2000.00 bikes.

My husbands co-worker had this bike and loved it. He'd use it up at his summer place to ride through all kinds of terrain and it held up well overall.
As long as you get enjoyment and your money's worth out of the bike then it is certainly a wise choice. It does sound like an awesome bike. Thanks for sharing the information.
I didn't realize mountain bikes were that expensive. Hope you get many years of enjoyment from it.
This bike sounds awesome, but it cost more than my car did! I also didn't realize just how much a good mountain bike could cost!
I truly don't know much about mountain bikes but your's sounds like a bargain if they go for well over $2000! This will last you a lifetime!
