Giant Avail Composite 3. 2012.
The Giant Avail Composite 3 represents a new entrant into the women's road bike fray for 2012. It is however, built on the success of the Giant composite models of 2011, where the use of a different grade of carbon has allowed Giant to create a full carbon road bike that positions itself very comfortably under the $2000 mark, a feat previously unheard of in the bike market.
This translates to a road bike that is more comfortable and forgiving than its alloy counterparts, due to the inherent shock absorbing properties of the carbon materials used in constuction. When compared to the more expensive Avail Advanced there is a small compromise in performance, however this will go unnoticed by many simply seeking a lighter faster road bike on which to ride recreationally. The Avail Composite 3 as expected features all Shimano 10 speed Tiagra gearing and brakes, giving the rider performance and reliability without an exorbitant price tag. Add to this the lightweight handlebar and headstem, as well as a carbon fibre seatpost, and you will find yourself on a bike that people will be expecting you to have paid thousands for.
Lastly, the specific features that make the Avail range of bikes so unique must be mentioned. Firstly, the geometry is tailored specifically for women with the narrow handlebars, shorter headstem and top tube combining to produce a ride a woman is simply incapable of achieving on most unisex models. Add to this the Giant Performance Women’s Saddle, a perfect antidote for those long rides where numbness and pain would normally be a feature, as well as the gel padded handlebar tape meaning your hands are cushioned from start to finish.
