Cannondale Quick Vs Giant Escape
The cannondale quick disc 4 is part of cannondale s fitness city bikes.
Cannondale quick vs giant escape. How does giant escape 2 compare to similar bikes on the market. The giant escape 1 disc and cannondale quick 3 are both 700c aluminum frame urban bikes with hydraulic disc brakes. And unlike many hybrids it comes with an air sprung fork so you can dial the suspension to fit your riding style. They don t even make all that much.
The giant escape 3 disc is the disc brake version of the giant escape 3. The giant has better components while the cannondale has higher gearing. I didn t like the shifters on it. Riding position felt right.
They all assemble bicycles from components made for them mainly by obscure third party suppliers in china and taiwan often the same one. As with the standard escape 3 above the escape 3 disc is an entry level hybrid bike for short urban journeys ideally. None of them are better than others in any meaningful sense of the word. I tried out the cannondale quick 5 disc and it also felt good except that the handlebars felt a bit wide compared to the fx.
Making a laudable commitment to women s cycling giant launched an entire women specific brand called liv in 2011. Manufacturers vary on how they define this style of bike whether it s called city urban or fitness which is evident in the geometry and specs with each one. I tried out a trek fx 3 and it felt great. The giant escape 2 disc has also gone up in price by 30 to 580.
They felt a bit cheap.
