Why choose a Giant road bike Giant

Giant is a true pioneer in the world of cycling and guarantees maximum quality and durability. As one of the few bicycle brands in the world, Giant and manufactures its own carbon fiber and frames in its own factories. To do so, it employs strict quality controls and advanced techniques. Giant so confident in the durability of its frames that it offers a lifetime warranty if you register the bike online after purchase.

Road Giant road bikesGiant in a variety of price ranges and models, from affordable entry-level aluminum models to the revolutionary, professional-level “Advanced SL” series.

Giant most popular Giant models

In our collection, you'll find several series, each designed for a specific purpose. Here are the main models you'll find in our store:

1. Giant : The Ultimate All-Rounder

The Giant (Total Compact Road) is the perfect all-around road bike for all your rides. With a legacy dating back 28 years to the iconic Team ONCE, the TCR has permanently transformed the world of cycling. This racing machine is ideal for everything from fast interval training to climbs and long-distance rides.

The latest, tenth generation of the TCR has been significantly optimized. Thanks to an improved stiffness-to-weight ratio, new aerodynamic tube shapes, and a reduced overall weight, this bike delivers explosive acceleration. Models like the TCR Advanced SL use “Cold Blade Cutting” technology to create ultra-precise cuts in the carbon, preventing thermal deformation and reducing weight. Additionally, the new OverDrive Aero head tube allows for fully internal and aerodynamic routing of brake and drivetrain cables, without making maintenance unnecessarily complicated.

2. Giant : The King of Endurance

Do you enjoy spending hours in the saddle? Then the Giant is the perfect bike for you. The Defy is Giant endurance road bike, designed from the ground up to deliver lasting performance and ultimate comfort.

Rather than adding heavy and complex suspension systems, Giant for functional simplicity. The magic lies in the renowned D-Fuse technology. The seatpost and handlebars feature a D-shaped carbon structure that flexes upon impact. The seatpost can absorb up to 7 millimeters of movement, significantly reducing the energy from road irregularities and vibrations. In addition, the front fork is lightweight, and the wide, hookless carbon rims provide space for tires up to 38 millimeters wide. All of this ensures an exceptionally smooth riding experience, whether you’re riding on smooth asphalt or rough cobblestones.

3. Giant : pure aerodynamics and speed

For fans of pure speed, there’s the Giant . It’s the ultimate aerodynamic road bike for reaching top speeds, perfect for outpacing your competitors in the sprint and dominating your favorite Strava segments (KOM).

The Propel’s lightweight carbon frame is meticulously shaped and wind tunnel-tested to minimize air resistance as much as possible. From the Propel Advanced to the top-of-the-line Propel Advanced SL, each model is designed to convert power into speed in a direct and relentless manner.

4. Giant & Giant

In addition to these three flagship models, Giant also Giant the Contend AR series, a versatile and affordable road bike that’s ideal for recreational riders and beginners looking to ride on a variety of surfaces. For triathletes and time trialists, there’s the Trinity Advanced, a bike engineered down to the millimeter for pure aerodynamics.

Materials and components

As you browse our Giant collection, you’ll come across various technical terms. Here’s what to look out for:

• Frame material (carbon vs. aluminum) : Aluminum frames (as found on the Contend or older models) are affordable, reliable, and sturdy. Carbon, on the other hand, is significantly lighter and stiffer. Giant several grades of carbon, including Advanced Carbon (excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, manufactured using Modified Monocoque Construction technology) and Advanced SL Carbon (the lightest and stiffest material, used by professionals).

• Wheels : Carbon wheels are stiffer, more aerodynamic, and better at absorbing vibrations. Aluminum wheels are generally heavier, but very durable and more affordable. Giant CADEX systems are often tubeless-compatible, which reduces rolling resistance and the risk of flats.

• Drivetrain Systems (Mechanical vs. Electronic) : Many of the Giant bikes we offer are equipped with electronic drivetrains (such as Shimano Di2 or SRAM AXS). With a mechanical drivetrain, the derailleur is operated via a steel cable, whereas the electronic drivetrain uses a battery to deliver extremely smooth and precise shifting, even under heavy pedal load.

Take advantage of refurbished secondhand items at Upway

Buying a premium road bike is a significant investment. New high-end models such as the Giant Advanced SL Di2 or the Defy Advanced 2 Di2 can cost as much as €12,000 and €6,500, respectively.
