Founded in Taiwan in 1972, Giant Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. is a well-deserved giant in the bicycle industry, with the strongest vertical integration capabilities in the industry, producing almost all bicycle components except transmissions, bringing huge cost advantages. In addition, Giant's first-class production management and quality control are impressive, Giant bicycles are absolutely high-quality and inexpensive among first-line brands, and they are brands that every advanced rider in China can not avoid.
 
Giant has a layout from entry-level to high-end models, and the volume is often entry-level models, so Giant is often inferior to those cold European and American brands in the eyes of Chinese car lovers. But there is one thing to say, Giant's bicycle manufacturing technology and design level are the top level in the industry, Giant's high-end models PROPEL, TCR, DEFY occupy a place in the world's top races, and the famous World Tour team Sun Net Team uses Giant vehicles.
 
In 1997, Giant introduced the TCR (Full Compression Frame), and in the past, road bikes used to have straight top rails, and compression frames were to lower the trailing edge of the top rail. The Giant TCR is designed with a focus on improving the "stiffness-to-weight ratio". Obviously, this design saves material and the compact frame is more rigid, and with most manufacturers now using this design on their hill climbing models, the TCR can be said to have rewritten the look of modern road bikes. The compression frame is also more friendly to those who are not taller, and at the same time, a model can meet a wider height range and cost less, but the performance is not compromised. TOUR, the most authoritative German bicycle evaluation magazine, tests dozens of the world's top frames every year to obtain weight, rigidity, wind resistance, comfort and other indicators, which are equivalent to the running score of the frame. In 2016, TOUR magazine tested the new generation of TCR, and the results were shocking, and the TCR scored more than the traditional European and American giants, winning the first place among 15 high-end road cars.
 
Launched in 2013 and ranked first in overall performance in TOUR magazine's 2014 evaluation, the PROPEL is an industry-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio and a sleek shape, making it a dream bike for countless riders. If the running score numbers weren't convincing enough, the results on the field speak for themselves. In the 2014 season alone, the PROPEL won 12 single-stage championships, 1 green jersey, and 2 overall championships in the Grand Tour, and the most victories in the Giant road bike was PROPEL, known as the "fastest on the surface". The Defy is an endurance car with a comfortable geometry that helped Johann Degenkolb win the 2015 Classic Paris-Roubaix.
 
Of course, the above-mentioned models for competition and testing are the flagships in the series, and the price is as high as tens of thousands of yuan, but if you compare it in the World Tour vehicle, Giant is also very "cheap", and the price of other versions is very close to the people, PROPEL, TCR, DEFY have aluminum alloy versions, and the price starts at a few thousand yuan, as for the entry-level carbon fiber version, it is in the early 10,000s, which can be described as cheap. Giant has some features in its naming, PROPEL, TCR, and DEFY all belong to the frame style, if there is an Advanced word on the back, it is an advanced level, and Advanced SL is the flagship version, and the smaller the mantissa at the end, the higher the level, such as PROPEL ADVANCED SL 0, TCR ADVANCED SL 0 is the most flagship competition version.
 
Giant is at the international first-line level in terms of scale, technical strength and performance. Compared with other European and American brands, Giant has no import tariffs and is very cost-effective. Giant's huge sales channels are a unique advantage, with more than 3,000 stores across the country, whether it is purchase, maintenance, or upgrade, it is the most convenient.
