MTB

Giant started in 1972 with one goal: Create a better cycling experience for people around the world.

The founders of Giant were craftsmen and engineers. They understood their strengths. So to make cycling more enjoyable and accessible to people around the world, they did what they knew best. They set out to improve the cycling experience by following three guiding principles: craftsmanship, innovation and inspiration.

It began with lightweight aluminum frames. Giant’s ability to produce high-quality bikes at an affordable price allowed more riders to experience cycling in a whole new way. Since then, Giant has pioneered advancements in both aluminum and composite engineering. We introduced the first affordable carbon fiber bike, the Cadex 980 C, and transformed high-performance road bikes with our Total Compact Road design. In mountain biking, Giant’s Maestro Suspension established a new level of performance for off-road riding and racing.

Over the last four decades, Giant has grown well beyond its manufacturing roots to become the world’s leading brand of quality bicycles and gear. With more than 12,000 retail partners worldwide, we aim to inspire adventure in all riders, from casual to competitive.

Giant bikes win world championships. They win design awards, too. But most importantly, they win the hearts of riders who choose to make cycling a part of their lives. We support that choice. We think it makes the world a better place.

RIDE LIFE. RIDE GIANT.

BMC becomes title sponsor of renowned "Racer Bikes Cup"
press release: Grenchen/Switzerland, November 29th 2011

The threatening end
The foundation of Swiss Mountainbiking was shaking. The end seemed inevitable when the title sponsor of Switzerland's international cross country racing series terminated its engagement. "We are still looking for a new sponsor", exclaimed the series' website, looking for financial backing to secure its future existence. Founded in 1994 by former national coach Andreas Seeli, the series has long reached international recognition. There are few world or Olympic champions in the sport of cross country mountainbiking that have not lined up at one of the seven Swiss venues. Nevertheless, the series seemed destined to disappear from the UCI calendar. Until the shaking reached Grenchen.

"We would endanger Switzerland's dominance in MTB"
"The MTB segment is playing an important role at BMC. As a Swiss-based company, we need a Swiss racing series in order to create national and international impact", evaluates CEO Thomas Binggeli of new series title sponsor BMC. He adds: "There is no way we would lose our most important races and therefore threaten an important part of our domestic athlete development concept. We would endanger Switzerland's dominance in mountainbiking".

The new Deubel 2UP is the perfect All Mountain frame. It allows riders to charge anything from super steep uphills to downhill tracks. Its 6" of engineered rear wheel travel with optimised single pivot suspension design reduces unwanted suspension compression and gives riders excellent pedalling and braking efficiency.

Our patent pending E2S (Encapsulated Suspension System) sandwich swingarm brings additional torsional resistance for faster acceleration and high precision cornering. 2UP also has an easy-to-tune aggressive geometry with interchangeable shock mounts and dropouts for head angle, bottom bracket height and chain stay length adjustability to ride everywhere with ease. The 2UP's FOX RP23 shock is exclusively tuned by Fox Racing engineers and its low suspension leverage make the damping and the rider’s adjustments more accurate for more grip - giving riders the ability to ride rougher terrain.

History of Southcott Pty. Ltd.

Southcott Pty Limited was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in 1886 as a general engineering business by two brothers, James and Albert Southcott. Over a century later, the company remains entirely owned by the Southcott family and has expanded extensively around the original factory site, as well as operating Australia wide sales offices and service centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Devonport, Emerald and Perth.

Involvement in hydraulics began in 1954 with the design and development of axial piston pumps and motors. The Company remains the only Australian manufacturer of these complex units. State of the art facilities are now provided for hydraulic equipment manufacture, including complex manifold circuits and a wide range of hose coupling swaging machines up to 500 tonne capacity.

Southcott Cycle Division ceased the production of bicycles in the mid nineties due to economic climax and turned their focus on marketing and selling state of the art international brands. Southcott Cycle division now operates from two main distribution warehouses, Adelaide and Melbourne, supplying bicycles and parts and accessories to the independent bicycle shops across Australia.
