Giant Trailglide 1 Womens Comfort Mountain Bike 2011
Are you looking for a mountain bike but still wanting the comfort of a hybrid? Well, you've landed on the right bike.
The Trailglide was designed for exactly this purpose. It's actually a mountain bike changed to have the best features of a hybrid. The frame is a low standover frame for women, to make it easier to get on and off. The frame is ALUXX alloy which is a very specifically designed frame popular with the Giant models for 2011 because of it's amazing ability to soak up the shocks from the road, making for a much more comfortable and smooth ride. This year's Trailglide has gone to the RST Capa forks with 80mm of travel (distance that the suspension forks can compress). RST stands for Rapid Suspension Technology, which is the company that designs these forks. This particular kind of fork - Capa - was designed for off-road riding along mountain trails where the bumps are not too massive and strenuous on the suspension. It's a lightweight fork so it doesn't add too much weight to your bike and the 80mm of travel will really help to absorb those road shocks. As well as that suspension, there is also extra suspension in the seat pillar which is handy. The seat pillar is adjustable so we can make it exactly the right height for you and the Unity comfort saddle is female-specific and is a really squashy saddle to protect your "toosh" while riding. Overall, it's a great option for a comfortable mountain bike. Come and have a test ride of one.
