1. Introduction.
Giant’s products are designed to provide years of recreation and enjoyment. The GIANT AC has been designed primarily as “full time” cross-country bike, with all-conditions features.
However, in order to fully understand all the bicycle features, you must read this bicycle manual, the suspension fork and rear shock manuals provided by Giant and parts suppliers. If you do not understand any information in the manuals or if you misplace any of them, please contact your authorised Giant dealer immediately.
Please take the time to read and understand this material to help limit the possibility of serious injury.
ALWAYS read and follow all instructions in this manual.
WARNING: Giant AC frames are designed for single crown front forks. Use of “dual” or “triple” crown forks on any Giant AC bicycle will void the warranty. Giant is not responsible for damages to the bike and rider resulting from the use of dual or triple crown forks.
