Well, for one thing, if it isn't a knockoff, the China one is no newer than a 2009 frameset, since 2009 was the last of the aluminum + 26er XTCs.

I don't think Giant allows their stuff to be sold online so I'd go with it being a knockoff.

There was 26" XTC bikes sold in some countries up until last year: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/...&q=XTC&x=0&y=0
* Scroll down & click on 'Show older bikes'



2012 XTC frame: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/...c/10847/54063/

2013 XTC FR frame: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/...r/11605/56150/

I'm suspicious of the frame on Ali Express. Note: the decal on the left chain stay is incorrect. It says "Giant". In the search I did on line, all the XTC frames said "XTC" on the inside of the stay. Maybe it's an older frame, but it's not consistent.

Look at the second link in my previous post.

Yeah, I tend to forget about the huge non-US/North America international market that a giant like Giant supplies.
