When you walk into a bike shop anywhere in the world, there’s a good chance you’ll see Giant Bicycles on the floor. Founded in Taiwan in 1972, Giant has grown into the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, producing bikes not only under their own name but also for many other top cycling brands.
But size isn’t the only thing that makes Giant important. The company has built a reputation for innovation, accessibility, and delivering high-performance bikes at competitive prices. From professional race machines to budget-friendly commuters, Giant has something for almost every type of rider.
Giant Manufacturing Co. was founded in 1972 in Taiwan. At first, they built bikes as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for other brands, including Schwinn. By the mid-1980s, Giant began producing bikes under its own name.
