Giant builds more bikes than anyone else on earth. That scale translates directly into value for British cyclists. When you buy a Giant, you are getting components that would cost more on any other brand at the same price.
The Taiwanese manufacturer started making bikes for other companies back in 1972. Schwinn, Trek, Colnago: all have used Giant factories. That experience shows. Giant knows exactly how to build frames that perform and last. Their own brand bikes benefit from decades of manufacturing expertise refined across millions of units.
In the UK, Giant dealers dot the landscape from Cornwall to the Highlands. The TCR remains a brilliant race bike. The Defy handles sportives with ease. The Trance and Reign tackle trail centres nationwide. And their sister brand Liv finally gives women bikes designed properly for female proportions rather than shrunk down afterthoughts. If budget matters and you want a test ride before purchase, Giant delivers genuine quality without the premium brand tax.
Giant bikes currently start from £550 and run up to £2,900 across the marketplace.
Giant bikes are best for value conscious cyclists from beginners to club racers who want more bike for their money.
When buying any used Giant, start with the basics. Check the frame for cracks, dents, or damage, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropout areas. Look at the drivetrain for wear and make sure the gears shift cleanly through the full range.
Ask the seller for service history and proof of ownership. Every Giant listed on Cyclesite is automatically checked against UK stolen-bike databases, but it is always worth checking the frame number yourself too.
Typical Giant pricing on the used market sits in the £300 to £10,000+ bracket. Anything notably outside that range is worth a closer look.
King Liu founded Giant in Taiwan in 1972. They made bikes for Schwinn and others before launching their own brand in Europe in 1986. By the time Schwinn went bankrupt, Giant was already bigger. Quiet Taiwanese efficiency over American marketing.
Extremely. They manufacture for countless other brands and know exactly how to build bikes properly. WorldTour teams race on Giants. The scale of production means quality control is honed across millions of bikes annually.
This is where Giant excels. Manufacturing scale means they can spec bikes better than similarly priced rivals. At most price points, Giant offers more bike for your money than the competition. Sensible first purchase territory.
Liv is the women specific brand from Giant. Not just shrunk frames, but geometry designed from scratch for female proportions. Narrower bars, different contact points, appropriate gearing. Same manufacturing quality, proper fit for women.
