Like most great bicycle manufacturers, Giant's beginnings were relatively humble. Founded in 1972, it began as an original equipment manager; selling bikes under other brand names.

The company first introduced bicycles under the "Giant" brand in Europe. While it initially focused on low-end bicycles, the firm rapidly developed advanced techniques, including the use of Chrome Moly steel in the manufacturing process to target more high-end customers.

Its success even enabled it to surpass its major buyer, Schwinn. As of 2007, Giant brought in an impressive 820 million dollars in revenue and managed to sell more than 5 million bicycles.

Special Feature

Selected User Reviews

"I prefer Giant because most of the bicycles are within my admittedly moderate budget. The feeling I get when I walk into a Gaint Store is not just that I am looking at the latest bicycle, but the latest trend, and that is pretty cool! ;)"

Mark Bufford

"My dad introduced me to Giant and now I just bought my teenage son his first Giant mountain bicycle. I just like the fact that you can buy a decent bicycle without having to take a second mortgage. Good job Giant!"

Andy Stowell

"These guys have the best of both worlds, I would personally recommend their off-road bicycles, using mine for the last 7 and no problems yet."
