There’s never been a push bike like this. Crafted almost entirely from recycled composite materials, the Pre rCarbon has a superlight weight of just 2.5kg that makes it fast, fun and easy to push. The carbon chassis is paired with 12-inch carbon wheels that have a 3-spoke design and low-resistance hubs, along with 1.75-inch tyres to help it glide smoothly along variable surfaces. A forward-leaning rider position allows for efficient push motion, and the steering geometry is slightly steeper for more agile handling.
The all-new Pre rCarbon push bike marks a major milestone in Giant’s efforts to produce more eco-friendly bikes, components and gear using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing processes. The frame, fork, wheels, handlebar/stem unit and seatpost are crafted with eco-friendly carbon fibre, making it the world’s first push bike to use this proprietary technology.
In addition, the tyres, grips, saddle and other components use recycled materials such as nylon made from discarded ocean plastics. It all adds up to a significant step forward in Giant’s commitment to lead the bike industry toward more sustainable practices. Beyond the in-house innovations, Giant has partnered with trusted vendors producing recycled materials with proven performance.
The recycled materials used to produce the major components are rigorously analysed and verified. As a result, in terms of carbon emission, the Pre rCarbon has a 50% lower carbon footprint than the same product made with virgin fibres and materials.
