2011 Giant Yukon FX Bike Review

We were genuinely surprised by the performance of the 2011 Giant Yukon FX Bike simple one-pivot rear suspension design and generic air-sprung rear shock. Overall control is top in most trail situations, the rear triangle is reasonably stiff, and even pedaling is very efficient, at least in the middle ring.

Despite our initial concerns, the Giant Yukon FX proved that even at this price point, rear suspension can be a real performance plus. Adding that hardware does come at a price though, as the 2011 Giant Yukon FX is one of only two bikes in this test to use an 8-speed rather than 9 - or ten-speed cassette (the cluster of gear sprockets attached to the rear wheel), the suspension fork is wholly lacking in any sort of damping control, and the Giant is also the heaviest in this group.
