Product Information
Giant XTC 225 Street.
The Giant Xtc 225 is now called the Giant Xtc Street 24.
The Xtc Street has a 3 speed internal gear setup. You might ask what that means. Well, the differences that you need to know of between internal and external gears are as follows; for starters, there's no derailleur on the back to catch the hem of jeans or similar, it's a lot less messy because most of the grease is inside the internal gear hub, it reduces the risk of the gears being damaged when dropped on the ground (not that kids would do that) and the gears are actually in a hub in the centre of the back wheel. Best of all your child can change gears when the bike is stationary, unlike other gear systems.
This bike doesn't have front suspension but it still withstands all the jumps and off-road riding kids love so you don't need to worry about the bike falling apart on the first jump. There is a bit of a trade off with no suspension, it is certainly a little harsher over rough ground, but it is lighter, and it allows Giant to reduce the height of the frame a little, ideal for smaller kids. The frame is made of aluminium to keep the weight down (and to prevent rust) as are many fo the other components on the bike.
Overall the Giant XTC Street 24 is simple to operate and lighter than its other cousins the XTC Jnr 1 and 2, making it ideal for less experienced, or less confident kids.
....Of course we offer 12 months of free servicing on the bike. Bring your child in to test ride one today.
Another bike worth consideration is the Mongoose Shredder NX 3, offering all the features of the XTC Street in an even lighter package....and its on sale!
