Giant has designed and produced pioneering bicycles for about thirty years. During that time it has established itself as one of the top brands in the industry, globally. Today, it is a top name in the game. Its bikes are widely available around the world, in every continent and more than 50 countries and counting. In Australia, its product range is comprehensive and its dealer network is prolific. Anyone wanting to buy Giant mountain bikes in Australia is unlikely to have trouble in finding an appointed dealer close by.

Australian riders are well served by the company. It has built an impressive distribution network stretching across all States and Territories, except the Australian Capital Territory. There are 79 dealers in New South Wales, 36 in Queensland, 44 in Western Australia, 16 in South Australia, 65 in Victoria, 4 in Tasmania and 2 in the Northern Territory.

The company presents its product as either off-road, on-road or X-road bikes. On and off-road bikes do not require any explanation. X-road bikes are designed for ridders who are just as likely to ride in an urban environment or an unpaved trail. Full-on dedicated mountain bike trail riders will, of course, go straight to the off-road bikes. As a second cut, bikes are categorized based on the skill level of riders. Performance bikes are mainly for crack hot, competitive riders, but also for serious entusiasts. Sport bikes are for committed fitness freaks. Finally, lifestyle bikes are suitable for all remaining riders.

Currently, the off-road performance range for men offers 10 series the Anthem X Advanced SL, the Anthem X, the Anthem X 29er, the Glory, the Trance X Advanced SL, the Trance X, the Reign, the Reign X, the XtC 29er and the XtC. Each one of these ten series may have several models, offering male riders a staggering range of choice in terms of individual bike configurations.

The Anthem X Advanced SL features an Advanced SL state-of-the-art T-800 full-composite frame has full suspension. Attention is focused on maximizing the strength-to-weight ratio. This finely crafted unit is the stiffest, lightest and fastest XC-oriented model in the Giant mountain bike (off-road) line-up for men.

The sport unit for men is an entry level model branded Talon MTB with twenty six inch wheels. Similarly, the lifestyle unit is also an entry level model known as the Boulder.

The off-road range for women is more limited, but well stacked. It consists of the one single series Anthem X. This full suspension, aluminium unit is a benchmark. It is the lightest alloy frame ever made by Giant. Its light weight largely reflects a co-pivot design.

For women, the sport and lifestyle category offering comprises one bike each, as for men. The sport unit is the entry level Talon Mountain Trail Bike (MTB) sporting 26 inch wheels. Similarly, the lifestyle bike is the entry level Boulder.

For almost thirty years, Giant has worked diligently not only to design and produce innovative and technologically advanced bikes, but also to support the industry and build a strong cycling culture. The company truly believes the bike can add significantly to the quality to life. It is committed to both competitive and recreational riding. It is also respectful of the environment. The wide range of Giant Mountain Bikes in Australia exemplifies this commitment.
