Giant FastRoad SL 2 2019
Flat bar road bikes have become so popular over the past few years that Giant now manufacture a range that covers 7 models from solid everyday style commuters. through to a lightweight carbon fibre option.
The FastRoad SLR 2 sits just above the middle of the whole range, being the first lighter weight model with slimmer, more road orientated tyres.
The Cross City 2, Cross City 2 Equipped, Cross City 1 and the Cross City 0, are slightly heavier and little more utilitarian than this FastRoad 2. The first of the sportier, lighter, livelier bikes known as FastRoads, the SLR 2 has a lightweight SLR aluminium frame as its base. Combined with a carbon composite front fork, the FastRoad is a lightweight flat bar road bike, ideally suited to many commuters and sports riders who enjoy reward for effort.
Light enough to be comparable to many mid range road bikes and yet with the comfort and control afforded by the more upright riding position and the wider handlebars, the FastRoad cleverly blends rider comfort with performance. Fitted with pannnier rack mounts, the FastRoad can easily be used as a workhorse to carry books to and from Uni, clothes and documents to and from work, or the essentials for a weekend away cycle touring.
Another great feature for commuters, or anyone who rides all year round, even when the roads are wet and dirty, is the addition of hydraulic disc brakes. These greatly increase wheel life, improve braking power and provide consistent braking with a minimum of hand pressure on the brake lever.
Available in 6 sizes, the FastRoad 2 will be just what the doctor ordered for many riders, fed up with the fragility of a racer or the heavy, slow ride of a hybrid or mountain bike.
