The new Seek was created for one reason: to transform the road riding experience for kids and give them the same feeling of speed, efficiency and control that adult road riders enjoy. To achieve this, we designed, developed and purpose-built a new range of bikes that stands apart from previous Giant youth road bikes and sets a new standard in the category.
Key Performance Factors
LIGHT AND AGILE
The Seek features a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame designed with smaller diameter frame tubing specifically for young riders. The frame and composite fork, which adds road-smoothing compliance and precise steering control, work together to produce a dynamic ride quality.
YOUTH-OPTIMISED COMPONENTS
The cockpit is designed to give smaller riders greater efficiency and control on the road. The Giant Contact SL Lite handlebar is specially shaped with a shorter reach (62mm) and drops (100mm) compared to typical adult bars. The brake levers are also designed for smaller hands, with a reach that’s 35% shorter from the drops and 30% shorter from the hoods. The outer hood diameter is 20% smaller, and the lever’s flared shape improves ergonomics for small hands.
EFFORTLESS FIT
Designed for kids 130-150cm tall, Seek makes it easy to dial in a perfect fit and make adjustments as the young rider grows taller and gains more experience with road riding. From first timers to junior road racers, it’s an adaptable road bike that evolves with the rider. Beyond the purpose-built frameset designed with smaller diameter tubing, the Seek features a seatpost that’s marked with a body height index, making saddle height adjustment intuitive and simple.
Highlights
A lightweight ALUXX frame with a composite fork and smaller diameter Giant SLR 650b Composite WheelSystem makes the Seek a light and agile road bike designed specifically for young riders. Youth-optimised components, including shorter reach handlebars and brake levers along with shorter 130mm cranks and a narrow 125mm wide Giant Grit Core Lite saddle, offer greater control and comfort for young riders looking to grow and expand their road riding capabilities.
