  Which Giant Road Bike should I choose ?                  If you are looking at a Giant road bike, there is a good chance you will eventually find yourself comparing three names: Defy, TCR and Propel . All three are performance road bikes, but they have been designed with different priorities. The simplest distinction is: Defy = Endurance and comfort TCR = Lightweight all-round performance Propel = Aerodynamic speed But there is considerably more to choosing the right bike than those three descriptions. The best bike isn't necessarily the fastest or lightest one. It's the bike that best suits where you ride, how you ride and what you want from your cycling . Here is our guide to making that choice. Giant Defy – The Endurance Specialist The Giant Defy is designed around endurance road riding. Think long days in the saddle, sportives, rougher Irish roads, Wicklow spins, touring-style road rides and riders who value comfort without wantin...

  Which Liv Road Bike Should You Choose ? Choosing a new road bike isn't simply about picking the most expensive or fastest model. The right bike depends on where you ride, how you ride and what you want from your cycling . Within the Liv road range, three names stand out: Avail, Langma and EnviLiv . All three are performance road bikes, but they're designed with different priorities. Whether you're looking for long-distance comfort, a lightweight climbing bike or maximum aerodynamic speed, there's a Liv designed for the job. So what's the difference? Liv Avail – Endurance, Comfort & Long Days in the Saddle The Liv Avail is the endurance-focused option. It's designed for riders who want to cover distance efficiently while maintaining a comfortable and confidence-inspiring riding position. That makes it particularly well suited to the type of riding many of us do in Ireland: weekend club spins, sportives, long days in the countryside and everything from smoo...

A Giant Store Dublin Perspective More Than One Type of Cycling At Giant Store Dublin , cycling has never been about just one discipline. Road bikes are an important part of our business and our cycling community, but so too are commuter hybrid, electric and mountain bikes . Every day we meet riders using bikes for very different reasons — from commuting to work and everyday transport to weekend road rides, mountain biking, fitness, leisure and family cycling. That's one of the reasons we're particularly excited about the growth of gravel. We don't see it as replacing any existing type of cycling. Instead, it's another part of an increasingly diverse cycling community and another opportunity for people to discover just how versatile cycling can be. Whether someone comes to us looking for a Giant TCR or Propel for performance road riding, a Defy for endurance, a Revolt for gravel adventures, a Talon or Trance for the trails, or simply a dependable bike for getting around ...
