Giant is a Taiwanese manufacturing company which is popular for making bicycles. It is in china, Netherlands and Taiwan. One may ask: How far has Giant commanded the bicycle industry? The Taiwanese giant bicycle brand is unique in its model.
The model of these bicycles is described in the factors as follows: road, comfort, mode, specialty, mountain, family cycling and indoor cycling. It should be with much interest, to note that the classification criterion caters for factors such as age, purpose, environmental conditions, finances, as well as durability to highlight briefly (Upham).
In the model of the giant brand of bicycles, three key areas dominated the birth of their bicycles. They include: the frame of the bicycle; the joints and the alignment of the wheel as well as the gear. The compact road design made in 1995, for example, was said to be lighter and stiffer because of using a rear triangle that was relatively smaller and a top tube that was sloping.
Another reason was because of using less material. Its speed was also exceptionally high thus placing itself at a position of much envy from the competitors. The model also ensured that resistance by was reduced to the minimal level best.
These giant brands came in different sizes, which include large, medium, and small ones. Through innovation and the spirit of competitiveness, the company was able to come up with a model that was possible to adjust the height
Giant was able to come up with a particularly powerful model in 2006 known as maestro suspension. This model creates a floating point which in effect reduces the pedal bob and enables the rear wheel to travel vertically. Very amazing! Is it not? All Giants models are meant to address the people’s needs and guarantee them the comfort much needed in cycling.
The brand being manufactured by a Taiwanese company is exceedingly appealing too. Taiwanese, being known for their riding behavior, one can guess how this company is likely to pick. It is a fact that this company has undoubtedly initiated a revolution in the bicycle industry. The question one may put across is this: how and to what the largest bicycle company in the US was extent has it influenced the industry world-wide? (Yu)
In 1980’s, Giant would have to dare operate in the midst of leading companies, which produced the high and middle quality bikes while it produced cheap and low quality bikes. The innovativeness and competitiveness of Giant produced relatively cheap bikes and of convenient quality, which became a preference of many. Bigger companies had to compromise some of their policies to avoid becoming irrelevant in the industry.
Today it is not possible to talk of bicycles without mentioning Giant. Its presence is felt almost everywhere. Cycling is an extremely awesome experience in Taiwan. In all cycling ventures, safety is key in Taiwan. An extremely vital aspect in Taiwan’s cycling is freedom.
People can stop at the places they consider fancy and admire them. This consequently becomes culinary culture. Moreover, an individual can enjoy the local delicacies which are easily obtainable from the streets. There are various cycling routes which one can follow. In all cycling activities, it is imperative that an individual complies to safety rules.
