Giant Fathom 29 2 first look VS Giant Fathom 1 (2021)

Giant Fathom 29 2 first look and VS Giant Fathom 1
After a ton of requests to at least show the Giant Fathom 29 2 2021 I decided to do a comparison video with the Fathom 1 and to see if the price difference is actually worth the money.
The fathom from Giant is definitely the most popular hardtail mountain bike in my area. I think no matter which model you go with you will be satisfied with the ride quality of this machine.
Be sure to like and subscribe! I will also try to throw the other colorways of these different bikes up on the ole Instagram.

Let me know if you liked the comparison style of video and if you do, let me know what other bikes you would want me to compare!

[@nybotor1]

Would the Rocky Mountain Growler be comparable to the Fathom? I’m considering getting either of the two, but I’m wondering what the most aggressive riding is for the Fathom (if it can handle small drops, fast rolling tech.)

[@ianbell5611]

Thanks for a great review

[@Farthendur]

I went with the Fathom 2, just because of the drivetrain, had shimano Saints from a bike I sold, so brakes were not even considered.

Hei Mossie! Thank you for your videos, they are amazing! One question tho, I got the Gient Fathom 29 2 2021 and the headset is already shot. (didn't have any greace in it) and I'm now looking for a fully sealed unit, but I can't seem to find any information on the headset. Maybe you know a headset that fits in there?

[@Planetone.]

My buddy just bought this bike today, the Fathom 1 it's a good specked out first timer mountain bike in my opinion👍 his came w/ front and rear 2.6" Maxxis Ardent race tires!!

[@lachlanmtb7540]

My friend just got a fathom and it came stock with race face Chesters! Do you know if the nicer version comes with chesters?

[@romanhlavac1411]

Did you have a chance to look at merida big trail? I think they are very similar bikes and both are very appealing. Would be cool if you could review merida big trail as well.

I’m looking to upgrade, and I’m shopping all brands of hard tail in this price point. I’ve seen/heard that giant uses dated geometry. Is that still the case with these? I’m not sure what is considered modern geometry these days.

[@BikeLife154]

I’m looking at getting a 2022 fathom. My background is road and I ride a medium frame. I know nothing about mtb so was wondering what size to buy at 178cm tall? Would appreciate it if you could give me some idea. Some have said medium and some said small. Other brands M/L ! Really confused

[@Forthetimebeing72]

I agree completely! Unfortunately they didn’t have a blue ashes available but the green is great too.

[@pyrolysis2129]

Just bought a Fathom 29 2 in Green. Love this thing! Somewhat new to riding and very happy with it so far. Didnt know a thing about it and went off the recommendation from the bike shop.

[@neilmartin6989]

I think whenever you get the chance to do a comparison is always useful, as it makes people aware that sometimes the more expensive model isn’t always the best value. Suppose it depends when you can get the bikes in to compare at the minute.

[@spmanny123]

Wow thanks this review helped a lot. Just got my 11 year old the fathom 2. Super excited for him for it to be here.. !

[@joshuaespinoza534]

2022 fathom 2 29er on hold for me. Excited as can be! We love you too mane.

[@srirvine]

Great video. I'm actually going in to pickup a Fathom 2 (which I chose over the Fathom 1). This video has given me some more confidence.

[@joemesserhd1]

love the video Mossie ..... pass by BSG all the time going to and from work ...... i want a Fathom 2 soooo bad ........ keep up the way kool Vids.

[@BameronCerry]

2 29 (2021) owner here. Love everything about my bike. Upgraded the pedals to 1Up composites, plan to upgrade my grips and handlebar soon.

[@Brandles5]

This is the video I needed! I’m a roadie that’s wanting to get into mountain biking. I was looking at both of these and looking to buy one. Thank you!

[@Frank-dv6oy]

Bought a f2 a couple of months ago, got rid of the brakes replaced with XT and new rotors. Whole different bike. Also replaced front chain ring which was causing chain drop problems after three weeks. Been solid ever since.
