Giant Trailglide 1 W 2012

The Giant Trail Glide is a bicycle built for comfort. The bike is based on a mountain bike, but fitted with tyres that have less rolling resistance, so it is easier to push. The front suspension gives a comfortable ride, as it irons out most of the bumps and vibrations. The saddle sits on a supension seat pillar, which has a compact suspension unit built into the post, to remove the shock from any potholes (or gutters if you must).

The saddle itself is a delight. It has a spring base supporting a gel cushion, then covered in a well shaped soft fabric to prevent chafing. Giant have gone to a great deal of trouble to ensure your cycling comfort.The bike itself is simple to operate, with a Shimano gear system that changes gear easily and accurately. If you wish it can be simply left in a gear range that you find easy, there is no need to use the gears if preferred. If you prefer to use the gear system, it has a wide range so it will comfortably keep pace with the traffic or climb the steepest of hills, there is a gear to suit vertually any terrain. The brakes have a light action and the bike can be stopped with minimal pressure, it really is a case of using just one or two fingers to stop the bike.

The whole bike has been designed with ease of use as a priority.The appearance of the bike is great. The paint finish is called "Diamond Tough" and is the same process used on some BMW cars. It is extremely durable and resists chipping, but also retains its new appearance for several years. It does not get that old look about it after a few months out in the weather. As most of the fittings are aluminium or stainless steel, nether of which will rust, again the bike looks great for longer.Well, there you have it, if you like the sound of this bike, you should come and have a free test ride, to see whether you would like to buy one.
