The Giant Cypress 2 stands out as a comfort-focused hybrid bike that brings together durability, ease of use, and ride quality. Its frame, crafted from ALUXX-grade aluminum, achieves a lightweight yet robust build—creating a groundwork that is both responsive and enduring. Designed around a relaxed, upright geometry, the Cypress 2 eases pressure on the rider’s back and joints, making even longer rides feel effortless.
To mitigate bumps and uneven ground, the bike incorporates a 63 mm travel SR Suntour NEX suspension fork and a suspension seatpost—both working together to absorb shocks and deliver smooth comfort across varying surfaces. Combined with 700×45 c high-volume hybrid tires, the bike glides over cracks, gravel, and rough patches with ease.
The streamlined 1×9 microSHIFT drivetrain offers simplicity and versatility. Featuring a single chainring and a wide-ranging cassette—typically 11–46T—it accommodates gentle climbs and steady cruising without the complexity of front derailleurs. This drivetrain design enhances reliability and reduces maintenance needs.
Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes (Tektro TKD143), offering confident stopping power in wet or dry conditions. The robust double-wall aluminum rims and 32-hole alloy hubs ensure long-lasting wheel performance, while the ergonomic combination of a mid-rise alloy handlebar, adjustable quill stem, and comfortable saddle with Giant ErgoContact grips make for a relaxed, stable riding interface.
Sizing is well thought-out, offering frames from Small to XL, accommodating riders approximately from 160 cm to 200 cm. Geometry—such as top tube length, reach, and wheelbase—is optimized for a balance between agility and composure, ensuring responsive handling that stays upright and confident over varied terrain.
