An early Tuesday morning saw us driving to Leicester to visit Giants UK headquarters in Cossington

It’s always one of our favourite times of year, with new bikes and technology being seen in the flesh for the first time.

It is also a good chance to catch up with other dealers and chat about how our year has gone.

First up was an overview of Giants vison for the next 12 months delivered by Giant UKs MD Ian Beasant. This made it clear that Giant are the forefront of the global bike industry and it feels good a as dealer that a massive company can still support independent dealers

Next we had a tour of the showroom and a look around all the new bikes and kit. 2017 looks like an exciting year for Giant with a new Maestro suspension platform and new disc brake versions of its  amazing TCR road bike

After some lunch and a some technical presentation on new technology, we all went home excited about the new model year, roll on 2017
