What is the Giant ATX?

The ATX is Giant's entry-level mountain bike.

It's designed for pavement, smooth dirt and smooth gravel trails. It's not designed for mountain biking or rough mountain bike trails.

The ATX is available in several frame sizes (from XS to XL) to suit different height riders.

Frame sizes XS and S use a 26-inch wheel.

A 27.5-inch wheel is used for frames sizes S to XL. 

Note that the S frame size is available in both the 26 and 27.5-inch wheels.

The ATX is designed for pre-teens, teenagers and adults. We have riders as young as 10 years old fit on the XS frame size. 

You should consider buying the ATX if you're:

  • Going to be riding on smooth/easy bike paths and rail trails.
  • Using it for family bike rides or with mates around the suburbs.

But:

If you're open to other options that are similar (and slightly better) than the ATX, we've got some to show you below.

Is the Giant ATX still available?

No. Giant no longer offers the ATX in Australia, so we can't order new ones.

You may still come across second-hand ATX bikes or old shop stock.

If you're buying new, the bikes on this page do the same job, and most do it better.

Giant Talon 4

The closest Giant to the ATX, and a clear step up. The Talon 4 is the entry model in Giant's Talon hardtail range.

Hydraulic disc brakes replace the ATX's rim brakes. This is a huge step up.

Single-chainring microSHIFT 8-speed gearing is simpler to use than the ATX's three chainrings.

The fork has 80mm of travel on the 27.5-inch sizes and 100mm on the 29-inch sizes, so it's at home on dirt trails as well as paths.

Norco Storm 4

The same fork as the ATX, with disc brakes.

The Storm 4 uses the SR Suntour XCE28 coil fork the ATX had, with 100mm of travel instead of 80mm, plus simple Shimano 7-speed gearing with a single chainring and mechanical disc brakes.

The Small has 27.5-inch wheels and Medium and up have 29-inch wheels, with sizes up to 2XL for taller riders.

GT Aggressor Pro

The ATX's layout, with disc brakes. Like the ATX, the Aggressor Pro is an aluminium hardtail on 27.5-inch wheels with three chainrings, built for paths, gravel and easy trails.

Its 3x8 gearing gives 24 speeds and a wide range for hills, and mechanical disc brakes replace the ATX's rim brakes.

Sizes run from XS to XL, so it suits pre-teens and teenagers moving up from a kids bike through to adults.

Link Viper

Hydraulic disc brakes and Shimano CUES 9-speed gearing at an entry-level price.

It has an aluminium frame and a suspension fork with lockout, and its 29-inch wheels roll over bumps more easily than the ATX's 26 and 27.5-inch wheels.

The 18-inch and 20-inch frames suit pre-teens, teenagers and adults, for fitness rides, suburban bike paths, smooth dirt and gravel trails.
