There are hundreds of mountain biking brands on the market however there are only a handful that produce top quality mountain bikes for leisure and performance. Giant mountain bikes are rated as one of the best brands out there for their advanced technology and performance results. Their recent success is clearly demonstrated by two world class champions in Juan Manuel Garate and Adam Craig. Garate was the winner of the Mont Ventoux stage of the 2009 Tour De France, the most arduous and mountainous stretch of the race. In 2009 Craig has been a two time champion at the Downieville Classic Mountain Bike Race and the US national Mountain Bike Championships. Both rode Giant bikes and praised their endurance during the competition. But what makes Giant the leading brand in competitive and personal mountain biking?
Produced in Taiwan, Giant have been producing bikes for over thirty years but have made bikes for longer under the aegis of Schwinn. Three decades in mountain bike design has paid off as Giant now produces the world's most advanced bikes and is at the forefront of technological advancement. As well as making bikes designed for the mountain, they also produce road bikes, hybrid, women's and children's bikes, as well as indoor fitness cycles for training and use in fitness centres. Within the mountain bike range there are several sub-categories for all the different forms of mountain bike riding.
For competition, nothing beats the Anthem series, literally, it is one of the fastest mountain bikes in the world and the Anthem XO was voted What Mountain Bike's 2009 Bike of the Year. The Talon and Trance X ranges are ideal for trail biking. The Talon is light quick and nimble, able to career around obstacles with the slightest ease. The Trance X range are really light which makes them great for going up hills and equally fast on the downhill. There are Giant mountain bikes designed for any type of cycling you take part in, with bikes designed for all areas of the sport so that you can go from cross country one day, to downhill the next.
One of the features that make Giant so good is the technology behind each and every one of its products. Maestro suspension has been engineered by the experts at Giant. The suspension stays active over all types of terrain whilst neutralising both pedal and braking forces. This is all done by the unique placement of four key pivot points on the bike. The material on the bikes is also unique to Giant. Advanced, Alliance and Aluxx technology is some of the lightest, strongest and most durable composite, composite and aluminium mix, and aluminium frames on the market. Unlike every other bike manufacturer, Giant controls the entire process of manufacture from field testing to engineering to crafting the bikes. There is nothing on the market to compare to Giant's Advanced SL technology and its performance ability.
Giant mountain bikes are sold over seven continents, in fifty countries and in over ten thousand retail shops. You can buy Giant Mountain bikes on the internet, normally for a cheaper price. So if you really enjoy riding, and you want to take your performance to the next level, a Giant mountain bike is for you.
