Yeah, you're not wrong. What a crock of s**t
That's a shame, maybe the 'industry' could come up with a little list of example weights.
They don't need a standard, they just need to make the bike, stick it on a set of scales and tell us the truth about the weight.
It will almost certainly be a direct drive motor. It looks vaguely like the SwissDrive motor again, and may be a variant with different spoke mountings on the hub. Giant do get makers to produce variants, for example three variants of the Sanyo front hub motor previously, mainly unique to Giant.
Totally agree. There is no way I'm going to seek out a Giant dealer, visit them and weigh it myself. Their statement is totally dismissive of their potential customers. It's a "you wouldn't understand statement". Same goes for all suppliers who refuse to publish weights.Yeah, you're not wrong. What a crock of s**t
" How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer "
