The Yukon is tough as hell. It great for a commute or if you want to ride x-country. The components are good for a beginner or if you want to push it a bit harder. I hasn’t let me down.

Giant is a good brand, and the components on it seem good. I have been using it for light mountain biking and it has been great, the frame is good and strong.
