Giant mountain bikes
The largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, and they build frames for plenty of brands that are not Giant. That scale shows up as spec: you routinely get more component for the money than the badge would suggest. The Trance and Reign are the volume sellers for good reason.

How this page works
Prices are US MSRP from a 2026 snapshot of the database that powers our quiz, maintained by hand. The takes on this page are mine, sharpened by the riders I trust. Giant pays nothing to appear here and cannot pay to rank higher - here is how we make money. Confirm current pricing on the brand's own site before you buy, and see every bike we rank for the full database.
