How does financing work?
Depending on what you decide to purchase and how you want to spread your payments, we have three finance partners available; V12 finance, PayPal & Klarna.
0% Finance on orders £35 - £999
We've partnered with Klarna to bring you new ways to pay at checkout. It's a safe and simple way to get the bikes, clothing or accessories you want, when you want it. Klarna gives you two easy ways to get the products you love. Choose 'Pay Later' and get up to 30 days to pay for your order with no interest and no fees. Or, split the cost of bigger purchases into 3 monthly payments with no interest, no fees and no credit agreement.
0% Finance on orders £99+
Finance is available on any basket value over £99 through PayPal for 4 months. Simply add the item(s) to your basket, checkout with PayPal and apply for PayPal instant credit. If approved, you can complete your purchase immediately.
0% Finance on orders £1000+
Finance is available on selected bikes ordered through our website over £1000, provided by V12 finance. The finance offers available are product specific and are displayed on eligible products.
When you proceed with your order, simply choose V12 finance during checkout and you will be redirected to the V12 secure website to complete your application. As part of the first step of the application, you will be checked to see if you are eligible to apply, without leaving a credit search visible to a 3rd party. If you don't qualify, you will be prompted to return to the basket to pay via an alternative method.
If your application is successful, your order will be confirmed to Giant - we will contact you by email to confirm your order is proceeding. If your application is unsuccessful, V12 finance will inform you and your order will be automatically cancelled.

Complete Your Rider Experience
Smooth, fast and fun. This versatile aluminium road bike helps you push the pace, ride more miles, and expand your road riding experience.
Key Performance Factors
Balanced road geometry
Frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.
Smooth ride quality
Innovative D-Fuse seatpost design reduces road shocks and vibrations.
Total control
Seamless disc brake integration, including flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, produces more consistent braking power for better control, even in wet weather and rough roads.
Techs & Features


The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.

- WeightThe most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
