The 2020 Giant Fathom 2 is a beefy, 120mm-forked hardtail with big tyres, wide 650b rims and broad bars. It’s a reliable partner for big rides on natural terrain, but the short, tall geometry and mediocre Suntour fork hold it back on technical, twisty trails.

A capable, well-specced ride that requires rider confidence to eke out the most from its firm chassis
Great spec on paper, confident-feeling bike
Can be harsh on bumps, some parts aren’t as good as they look
