2010 Giant Bicycles

SAFE SUMMER CYCLING:

Hot summer cycling tips to help you stay safe bicycling in the summer heat. You need to be prepared to keep your self safe. Summertime offers many cycling dangers including the potential to suffer a heat stoke if not prepared.

• Drink plenty of water: when cycling you will lose a lot of moisture through your skin. It is important to keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water, which can be stored in a bottle that clips neatly to your bicycle frame.

• Keep the sun off your head: wearing a bike helmet is essential for safety, but in the summer sun it also helps provide shade.

• Take breaks: If you feel you are getting too hot while cycling then stop. Make sure you pull over to the side of the road safely, away from traffic.

• Be seen: although it does not get dark until late in the summer, do not get caught out without your lights.

Maestro Moves Mountains

There’s a Giant Maestro Suspension bike built to suit your riding style. As the standard-setter for modern bicycle suspension, Maestro technology is the full suspension platform that every GIANT performance mountain bike utilizes, with six different travel/frame configurations FOR every conceivable trail condition. The three core benefits that set Maestro apart are the result of careful placement of four key pivot points that neutralize both pedaling and braking forces, yet allow the suspension to remain fully active over all types of terrain.

 

Professional Grade

Advanced SL-grade composite features the highest-performance carbon raw material formed by breakthrough construction techniques. State-of-the-art T-800 raw composite material is painstakingly woven in Giant's own composite factory (a step no other major manufacturers undertake), then hand-crafted into framesets utilizing Giant's most advanced construction technique, Fusion. The process produces the lightest, stiffest and most ride-compliant framesets ever to roll on two wheels.
