BICYCLING MAGAZINE CHOOSES GIANT FOR
TWO EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARDS

Bicycling magazine unveiled the winners of its 2009 Editors’ Choice awards in its June issue, and Giant took top honors in two categories. The Defy Advanced 1 won the “Plush Road” category and the Avail Advanced 2 won the “Women’s Enthusiast Road” category.

“With all of the quality products on the market today it’s a big honor for Giant to be chosen for not just one, but two awards,” said Dennis Lane, Giant’s global director of product development.

Bicycling is the world’s highest-circulation consumer cycling publication, and its Editors’ Choice awards are followed closely by in-the-know consumers. The Defy Advanced 1 beat two other “Plush Road” finalists, the Cervélo RS Ultegra SL and Specialized Roubaix Expert. The Avail Advanced 2 topped the Cannondale Synapse Féminine 4 and Felt ZW3 in the “Women’s Enthusiast” category.
