Giant
Giant started as an original equipment manufacturer. It produced bicycles to be sold under other brand names, such as Schwinn, before becoming one of the biggest bike brands in the world.
Founded in 1972, the Taiwanese company produced its first own-brand bikes in 1981, first in Taiwan and then in Europe, North America and elsewhere around the world.
Giant went on to create iconic models, like the Cadex 980 road bike in 1987 and the ATX One DH downhill bike in the late ‘90s. Other innovations have included the Compact Road design of the late ‘90s and OverDrive tapered head tubes in 2006.
