Giant Folding Bikes

Giant Clip

⊕ Click images to enlarge.

While the new Clip may at first glance be described as 'a fashion statement on wheels' considering its uniquely elegant frame incorporating a single side front fork and single side rear stay, and half moon shaped folding pedals these form part of a seriously substantive specification way beyond flair and flash.

The Clip provides a tight, swift, agile, and comfortable ride: Superior perhaps to any other 20" wheeled folder we have ridden anywhere. You'll also enjoy the crisp ease of shifting gears with the 8-speed (34-87 gear inches) twist grip derailleur and the confidence inspiring smooth authority of the brakes.

The Clip weighs 25 lb and folds quickly, crisply and predictably to about 16 x 34 x 20". No need to 'wrestle' this folder: It rather rests firmly on a clever center kick stand which pops down the instant the telescoping seat post is lowered.

Comes in metallic black, blue (medium shade) and orange as well as pearl white. $950.

 

Giant Halfway

Models proliferate, come and go. The Halfway arrived remarkably evolved in 2002 and stayed. It has proven highly reliable and durable.

The Halfway's beam aluminum frame and handle bar stem lock contribute to a rigid, comfortable and nimble ride. The single side fork and rear stay (similar to what's incorporated on a few high end motorcycles and the Vespa scooter) are among the Halfway's several intriguing and elegant features. Comes complete with custom rear rack, fenders and even a light carrying bag. 7-speeds (34-74 gear inches). Weight 29 lbs. Folds quickly with ease and precision to 12 x 32 x 32". $695.
