About this product
The 2018 Giant Liv Escape W is a medium-sized city hybrid bike designed for unisex adult riders. Constructed from aluminum, it features a rigid frame with no suspension and V-brakes. This 21-speed bike, equipped with a Shimano triple crankset and thumb shifters, rolls on 700C clincher tires. Practical features include an adjustable seat, bottle cage, and a rear bike rack, making it suitable for urban commuting. The bike weighs 40 lbs and comes in a gray finish.
Our take
For anyone looking for a dependable city hybrid, the 2018 Giant Liv Escape W offers a solid package. The aluminum frame keeps it reasonably light at 40 lbs, which is a plus for urban rides. I appreciate the 21-speed Shimano gearing; it's more than enough for varied city terrains, and the thumb shifters are straightforward to use. The inclusion of a rear bike rack and bottle cage right out of the box is a thoughtful addition for commuters. While the V-brakes are effective, those seeking more modern stopping power might prefer disc brakes. The lack of suspension means you'll feel more of the road, but for paved paths, it's perfectly fine.
