The Yukon is an all terrain, general purpose all round mountain bike, and comes in the middle of Giant's 'Sport ATB' range. It has an upgraded build kit, with the quality to cope with the rigours of off-roading and the reliability required when on your local streets.
Giant have used some of their own components combined with Shimano gearing and Hayes disc brakes to provide a quality ride at a value price of the sort only a huge firm like Giant can manage, and the Suntour forks look great in the blue finish colourmatched to the frame.
