Perfectly balanced to improve both your climbing and descending, the Cypher goads you to re-think epic. Those coming off a hard-tail or cross-country bike will be aghast at how much more fun, and easier riding fast can be. With five inches of Maestro travel and a lightweight and stable ALUXX SL frame you can fly around rutty “death corners” and plow through rock gardens. It’s nearly as precise as a true cross country rig thanks to OverDrive headtube. Yet, forgiving enough to bust out your best, allowing you to tackle terrain bigger and burlier that you previously thought possible. For all-day epics or short fast trail rides, the all-new Giant Cypher 2 2011 is your mountain bike that tackles it all.
