Giant - V8.0 Manual page 2

WELCOME, AND CONGRATULATIONS
on your purchase of a new Giant bicycle; the fun of pedaling your new
Giant bicycle is only moments away.
Safety First.
We strongly encourage you to read through the owner's manual before you take your new Giant
bicycle for a spin. By doing so you will have a greater understanding for the general operation of
the various components found on your new bike. You will learn many of the components you
once recognized as part of a bicycle have changed significantly. Safe riding instructions are
equally important and shouldn't be overlooked. So even if you are an experienced cyclist, please
take a moment to read through this manual before you ride.
Sharing the Joy of the Ride.
Nothing makes us happier than seeing people out riding bikes. For over thirty years Giant has
manufactured quality bicycles for every type of terrain and rider imaginable. Giant bicycles have
allowed millions of cyclists just like you the opportunity to live happier, healthier lives because of
the joy, exercise, and sheer exhilaration riding a bicycle brings. And it's this commitment to
sharing the joy of the ride that inspires us to continually offer the world's most innovative bicycles.
