Yes buy the bike and they come free tup Seriously, I dont belive that you can buy them on their own but contact your local Giant dealer as the may have a set of a model that has been reject for manufacturing issues (I.E damaged frame etc...) but it is very unlikley that you can buy them new on their own.

this looks ok, i think the 07-09 frame looks better.

Agreed! I loved the straightness, large downtube, and half hidden shock mount of the previous design. This still looks good, but its too similar to alot of other bikes, like the Session 88.

maestro and DW link are really similar but not the same, dave licensed both of them though

flag shorty2 (Aug 25, 2009 at 13:31)
no he licenced dw link and there was a big contraversy becasuse the two are similar and now that the giants dont have the perced downtube people keep saying that its dw but its the same thing

flag suckafreedmr (Aug 26, 2009 at 19:01)
my bad you are right, just like how he created split pivot and then trek came out with abp. Dave is ahead of everyone.

the swing are looks uber skinny and long, garantee loads of these will snap when they aventually start mass producing them

wtf, the swing arm's aren't thin they look pretty much like the giant reign x swing arms, which aren't weak at all. I haven't snapped my reign x's swing arms and the frame is from 2007 and i don't think that other owners of reign x's frames have snapped their swingarms.

Some points
1: I personally think they arnt Maestro they are DW link . As I.H. had the same design many years before giant introduced Maestro .As for sure it’s the same engineering it’s a combination of two linkages with a floating pivot . They call it Tompson scale in mechanics. It’s one of the various mechanicals solutions to provide linear travel.

2 : The 2010 Giant bikes havnt one of the most important features of a gravity bike. Aggressive look!! I mean the super sexy look. That likes to tear the

Mastro and DW are different because they have different shock rates and axles paths, i belive the maestro was change slightly due to Dave Weagle threatening to sue giant due to the Maestro linkage being so similar to the DW link that has been seen on the Sundays
