when the integrated headset came the manufacturers said that it's lighter than the old-school. but then riders said they loose the weight-save with the wider headtubes. time changes, it's now a real standard for everyone. when the 1,5 standard came the manufacturers said it's stiffer. but then riders said that it's too heavy. now it's sorta standard for downhillers. for now all mountain and trail riders found the tapered headtube in the middle which fits perfectly. Giant says we need to have more stiffness and spend more money on lighter and stiffer parts. everything has a kickback but I can see no advantages this time. well, on first place I loose the saved weight on the stem (and obviously a lot of money because they ain't sellin' the new stuff for free). in my opinion it's stiff as the less stiffer part up front. if someone can ride along the RedBull Rampagne with full 1 1,8 I don't think that any of the mountain bikers from trail to enduro would ever need more stiffness then the tapered has.

nem dobnám vissza ha a fejemhez vágnák az biztos :D

I would rather put a Lyrik in it with galvanized colour. looks better than pale gray...
