Giant Escape 2 Performance Hybrid Bicycle

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. I love my Giant Cypress DX, but even with the aluminum frame, it's heavy. I'd like something a bit lighter that I can get an extra 10-15 mph out of.
2. Great video, Chris! I have this bike and I feel it is one of Giant's all-time BEST bikes! I am always more than happy to ride it! :)
3. I'm pretty happy with mine, I've gotten into the 35 km range several times a week. Although, as others have said I'm ready to up to a real road bike. If riding by yourself this can be great bike for fitness. If you are considering riding with others chances are you'll need a real road bike. I don't care for the seat either. Although those are so specific to the person there is no one size fits all.
4. Hybrids aren't going to be popular if people keep selling them as "well it's not quite a road bike yet". They'll end up having a Granny Bike stigma, when they're more than that. For a city commuter bike, a hybir simply makes the most sense. It's versatile and less of a hassle than a road bike.
5. I sold my 2008 felt jumper and got this bike and I absolutely love it. its perfect if you aren't ready to commit to cycling
6. giant escape 1 or trek fx 7.3? I will be using it for fitness purposes, maybe 10-20 mile rides
7. Whats the weight limit on those bikes?
8. Giant makes amazing bikes
9. Not quite ready? Why would you want a Racer style bike? a good hybrid has the same size wheels, similar weight, similar gearing & setup only real difference is the bloody Durace thank god and horrid Racer bars.
   
   This gives you a litte off road (farm track) with good on road.
10. Im actually looking to "downgrade" to this or Trek 7.2 Fx from my Specialized Allez.. My road bike is a work of art but comfort-wise it just doesnt suit me.
11. 5 diff sizes for men ? I am 5 9 would "Large" be my size i wonder ? 
12. I just bought a 2014 Giant Escape RX Composite- the escape bikes are awesome indeed!
13. This bike says "Y'know...I'm formal...but I also like to party."
14. Bought this bike last year and have used it 5 days a week (12 km round trip to work) throughout the year in every type of weather you could imagine. I would suggest upgrading the stock pedals for an extra $30 or so but aside from that no serious complaints. For the price this is a a great buy. I've kept it outside throughout the winter (I know this is bad) but it still worked great. Service it consistently if you ride often and you wont be disappointed. 
15. Wish he would have covered the components.
16. Thanks for the review, Ive been wanting this bike for a while, now that winters come, I might go down to my lbs, and put it on a payment plan So I can have it paid in full and ready to go for spring
17. The bike I am using, is like 20 years old and has been damaged by thieves a few times. So bike looks awesome, compared to what I am using. Shape and all.
18. I had one in Tokyo. Replaced the brakes with Deore to fix hand strain. Rear derailleur SRAM X-O (metal cage) 7000yen from Y'sRoad. Thompson post and Easton neck and bars (monkey something-carbon) found in a bargain bin at the same store for 7500 together. I replaced the components and redid the cables for my fit. I have to say it rode very stiff, but sure, loaded up and pelting along in the rain beside the Tama river....ever so slightly pissed. (don't tell.) Nice builder til new frame/fork set
19. wax it
20. True the new ones are out already (I think). What do you think of the style? They added a rack and some tire guards on the Escape.
