We ran into two of enduro racing's finest at the 2016 Giant Factory Off-Road team intro. Yoann Barelli and Adam Craig attack the trails and life with different styles, but both get the heavy lifting done. We put their bikes head-to-head for you to choose which you prefer.
Yoann Barelli's Giant Reign Advanced 27.5 5.0
- 6.3-inches of travel
- RockShox Lyrik fork
- RockShox Vivid Rear Shock, coil
- 34t chainring with his SRAM XX1 1x setup
- Brake levers basically parallel to the ground (no, it's not a joke)
- 200mm front rotor with 180mm rear
- SRAM Rail 50 wheelset
- Shorter 40mm Truvativ Holzfeller stem
- Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire and Nobby Nic rear
Adam Craig's Giant Trance Advanced 27.5 5.0
- 5.5-inches of travel
- RockShox Pike fork
- RockShox Monarch Plus DebonAir rear shock
- 34t chainring with his SRAM XX1 1x setup
- Brake levers a little more "normal" but Adam is keen on Yoann's positioning and his levers are getting pretty close to parallel to the ground.
- 180mm front and rear rotors
- SRAM Roam 50 wheelset
- "I like a high front end," AC says, hence the spacers under the stem.
- Longer 50mm Truvativ Holzfeller stem
- Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire and Hans Dampf rear
