Title-Giant Cypress LX-QUALITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Findings:

• "VALUE PACKED: Giant's specialty has long been well-equipped bikes, and the Cypress LX is a great example: the FluidForm shaped-tube frame, disc brakes, 24-speed Shimano drivetrain and an SR magnesium suspension fork provide excellent quality for the price."
• "STOP'N'GO: Discs not only allow better stopping power in all conditions, but won't interfere with racks or fenders. The 40mm Cross Comfort tires come pre-filled with Slime tire sealant to guard against punctures."
