I have the AR3 2020 and i didn't had a single problem. Those are probably problems of the 105 version. Which sucks. Cause i really love the AR and is a shame that the top tier of the line has problems... Also they must give more and bette rcolor options. The AR4 has the best color scheme from 2021 line. AR2 looks nice too.
Seems last version was much more solid . A friend of mine got this was. He is very critical and says it makes lots of rattling. Giant charging now £200 more for a worse bike.
Yeah it sucks that they are taking advantage of the huge demand, but its a business. Every single bike brand is upcharging and using less or the same components.
Thanks for this ?One stupid question :) is there size sticker on bike ? I wanna buy used one , but I'm afraid it's bigger than what they say... so is there some marks on bike , where I can check
Yup every bike has a sticker that shows the size. Unless the owner removed it, then you would have to do measurements yourself (very rare that they remove it themselves)
Yes im still using the stock wheel/tires, ive logged close to 1400 miles with the bike and usually you would change them in between 2-3000 miles. The only thing I had to do so far was add more sealant.
90% of my riding is road where I'll stumble into gravel every now and then. I personally dont have 28 tires but ive tested a couple bikes with them and the 32's just feel a bit more comfortable, not a big difference, but its noticeable only longer riders and on uneven roads. I also feel like I can roll faster with the 28's. It will definitely be a personal preference, but for daily riding I would prefer to be more comfortable
Great video, you’ve said a lot of what other people have said in regards to this bike
Thank you!

Thank for sharing. Have you riding with only stock wheels and tyres?

How do the 32s feel compared to 28s? You mainly ride road, not gravel/mixed?
