Giant Cross City 2 W (2014)

ALUXX SL: Extremely lightweight framesets featuring high-performance strength-to-weight ratios.

3F: A simple guiding principle is at the heart of all Liv/giant bikes. It’s called 3F. This product-design philosophy, which stands for “Fit, Form, Function,” allows Liv/giant engineers and designers to stay focused on the holistic balance of three key characteristics deemed critical to every bike’s performance and appeal. From pro-level road or mountain bikes to stylish city bikes, the 3F label is a promise that every Liv/giant bike has been designed specifically for female riders.

Compact Road Design: In 1997, when riders on the legendary Spanish pro team ONCE rolled up to the start of a race on a compact geometry Giant bike, the competition didn’t quite know what to think. For decades before that moment, the design and geometry of road bikes had remained essentially the same. Giant’s new approach was a radical departure, and we called it Compact Road design.
