Giant Thrive 2 Womens 2015 - Road Bike

The Giant / Liv Thrive 2 is a flatbar road bike and a sports hybrid that combines the speed and agility of a road bike with a more comfortable upright riding position. You can buy the Thrive 2 through a Cycle to Work scheme for even better value.

Commuting, fitness training and recreational road cycling; there’s not much the Thrive can’t do.

Frame

All Giant/ Liv bikes go through the Liv 3F design philosophy of Fit, Form, Function so that you feel confident whilst riding and enjoy the ride.

The Thrive was designed by an all female development team. It has been designed from the ground up to fit the female form. A shorter top tube and head tube when compared to the Giant Rapid (its unisex bigger brother) means you’re not so stretched on the frame.

At the heart of Thrive 2 is an Aluxx grade 6061 aluminium alloy frame which is strong, light and stiff. Weight is reduced shaving away excess material from within the tubes. A composite fork upfront helps to absorb road vibrations for a more comfortable ride.

Components

The Shimano Sora 3x9 speed drivetrain with a triple chainring offers you a wide range of gear options which makes climbing easier. MTB style V-brakes are powerful so can stop you with confidence and fast rolling tyres perform well in all conditions.

Optimised cranks arm lengths, stem length and handlebar width with a women’s specific saddle give you a great fit on the frame. The Giant Connect Flatbar comes with ergonomic grips for added comfort as you ride.

A composite D-Fuse seatpost absorbs road buzz to take the sting out of rough roads for a smoother ride.
