For a company that have a reputation for producing bike porn, that looks like the Ron Jeremy model...
I seem to remember K2 and maybe Corratec doing a similar thing.

I don't know, it's grown on me. Would be interested to see some more reviews but there isn't much out there...
To revive an old thread, I'm now riding the XR team and loving it. I've had it for a couple of weeks now raced it at Thredbo and Stromlo. In current configuration it weighs 10.5kg with pedals (race gold wheelset, heavier saddle than stock, Time pedals etc), I don't have the EI version, just remote Fox CTD. There's some race reports and photos in my blog link below.

Had the chance to throw a leg over one of these on the weekend, pretty impressive bike.
The locked out 'climb' mode offers little to know movement.
I'd say you will start to see a few of these around the races as word gets out!
Retail price of $4299 for full XT build and full carbon, can't argue with that.

Yeah my local shop has the XT one in stock now - seriously good value, and if you get a light wheelset it's pretty much similar weight to the Team version!

What a great bike,
The rear suspension handles all that you can throw at it, soaks up the hits effortlessly like my anthem, but pedals like an epic. The front end feels very light on steep climbs , and i had to shift my body weight noticeably forward to keep it tracking on line. The bike handles tight and twisty like a hardtail with the short wheelbase , but is also stable at high speed on fireroads.
I highly reccommend getting a test ride on one if you can

Thankyou Sentoz,
Funny I was also looking at the giant and I currently have an Epic. Perhaps its time for some big wheels. Don't suppose you can confirm a weight on it?
