Good to sse that giant are using the remote reservoirs on their DH bikes now. Stops all the crap from the back wheel from going on/getting into the reservoir. Heaps of people were doing it last year with their Giants.

huh...
Maybe look at a previous year. The only difference to warrant buying a new one is the curved top tube. Otherwise the bike is essentially the same as 2002 I believe...(sweet feeling bike for dh though wow)
BTW the ac3 and dh are in signifigantly different categories. What type of riding are you looking to do.

the dh is a dh bike. SOFT suspension. Very plush and a pretty poor pedalling action for trails. It just isn't anywhere near the same type of bike as the AC...

Still kicking.
Wait, the AC isn't even a good comparision to other trail bikes. The new DH bike looks like a VT on steroids.

The new DH bikes also have remote reservoirs, unlike previous years.
