Which Giant Road Bike To Choose In 2024?
Giant are at the forefront of the world’s road bike industry at the moment, they are providing what are, in our opinion - the best bikes they have ever created, at the right price point. This is seeing a number of converts from bike brands coming over to Giant for the first time, with the bikes such as the TCR and Propel attracting a lot of new custom.
Most customers of ours will be able to easily recognise a Giant Road Bike. They are characterised by skinny frames, skinny tyres and aerodynamic designs. These bikes are designed specifically for use on tarmac, and perform really well in this arena - as well as being lightweight and aerodynamic, giant road bikes also have specialised gearing for road use, and you also won’t find any suspension on a road bike, like you do with gravel bikes and mountain bikes.
There are different styles of Giant Road Bike available. These four main models excel in different disciplines, and within each different model and style of giant road bike - there are bikes to suit different budgets and price points. In most cases, the frame of the giant road bike retains the same design, with more premium models being made from carbon fibre, and the cheaper and more affordable giant road bikes having an aluminium frame. Components is another area which affects budget, with premium models in the collection having the very finest components, and innovative technologies such as electronic shifting.
Giant Aero Bike - the Giant Propel
The Propel is Giant’s Aero Road Bike - and you can immediately see from looking at the bike, that it’s the result of extensive testing, including wind tunnel testing. The Propel was first launched in 2013 and it’s been a success since. It’s a top performer on the professional world stage, but it’s also accessible and affordable for those in the market for an aero bike. It’s an award winning bike too, with the disc brake version of the bike winning ‘aero bike of the year’ back in 2018.
Giant Road Bike- the Giant TCR
The Giant TCR is the classic race bike from Giant. It was introduced in 1997 and completely changed the world of road bikes - the unique design which had a smaller front and rear triangle, made a stiffer and lighter bike. The TCR has won more awards than we can mention. The TCR is a great choice for so many riders, and it’s the ideal choice for riders wanting to purchase and ride, arguably the most definitive and influential road bike in existence.
Giant Endurance Bike- the Giant Defy
One of the most popular road bikes on the market, the Giant Defy is an endurance road bike. It’s again, a bike which has racked up many awards, including awards for the high levels of comfort this bike provides. The Defy is comfortable on rough UK roads, increasing its popularity. It’s a tough bike too, it’s ideal for winter riding - it’s got enough clearance for wider tyres, it has powerful disc brakes and mounts for mudguards and bottles - meaning it can take you as far as you can push yourself.
Giant Alloy Road Bike- the Giant Contend
One of the most recent additions to the Giant Range, the Contend was launched in 2016. It’s an aluminium road bike which is perfect for those starting out in the sport, it takes it’s design and geometry from other bikes such as the Defy and TCR - so it performs incredibly well. It accelerates really well, and has plenty of endurance design features, meaning it’s perfect for perfecting the craft of road cycling.
