April 2007

Giant Innova

Hybrid bike
Manufacturer: Giant
Price: A$975
Easy rider

If screaming down a mountainside, on or off road, is not your priority, but comfort, versatility and affordability are, then the Giant Innova might be just the bike for you.

The Innova sits more on the road end of the hybrid cycle spectrum, with a frame designed as much for cruising as for comfort, making it a perfect ride for commuting around town.

The aluminium frame ensures lightness as well as strength, and the SR magnesium travel forks help absorb bumps in the road. The seat is also designed to maximise comfort, which is a good thing for those quick dashes to work as much as for long weekend rides.
