Giant Seek 1 Purple Storm

Seek 1

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.

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.

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.

Features

• ALUXX ALUMINIUM: State-of-the-art aluminium material is made predominantly from 6061 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. Frameset also features unique welding technologies for a performance ride quality.
• COMPOSITE FORK: Advanced-grade composite fork absorbs road shock and vibrations for a smoother ride quality and pinpoint steering precision.
• 650B WHEELSYSTEM: Smaller diameter rims optimised for the frame, minimising weight and improving handling, balance and control for young road riders.
• YOUTH-OPTIMISED COCKPIT: Giant Contact SL Lite handlebar features a shorter reach (62mm) and drops (100mm) than typical adult bars. The brake levers are designed for smaller hands, with a 35% shorter reach from the drops and 30% shorter from the hoods. The outer hood diameter is 20% smaller, while the lever’s flared shape improves ergonomics.
• YOUTH-OPTIMIZED BRAKES: Hydraulic brakes are tuned for lower levels of grip strength and body weight with a braking curve that’s reduced compared to adult brakes. This results in linear, predictable deceleration and helps prevent slipping in dry or wet conditions.
• 1X DRIVETRAIN: A 1X drivetrain with high-performance electronic shifting makes it easy for young riders to operate the gears, while shorter 130mm cranks help them climb and spin at higher pedalling cadences.
• GIANT GRIT CORE LITE SADDLE: Youth-optimised saddle with a narrow 125mm width delivers optimal positioning and fit to help young riders tackle longer rides with greater comfort.
• QUICK-FIT SEATPOST: Seatpost marked with a body height index makes it intuitive and easy to dial in a proper fit and make adjustments as a rider grows taller and gains experience riding on the road.
• INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING: Derailleur, brake and dropper post cables are routed internally through integrated ports. This helps save weight and creates a cleaner look and performance.
• GIANT TUBELESS SYSTEM: Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tyres delivers improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
• DISC-BRAKE INTEGRATION: The frame and fork are engineered specifically for disc brakes for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.
