A GIANT day at Stromlo with Onya Bike!

Apr162012

Giant Bicycles Australia and Onya Bike Belconnen + Civic were greeted with dry trails and great conditions for a massive demo day out at the Stromlo Forest Park on the weekend. We had a fleet of over 40 bikes in both On-Road & Off-Road performance ranges available for riders to demo. People had up to almost 2 hours to take the bikes out onto their favourite trail and the criterium road circuit to get a gauge of their bike of choice.

Bikes that people could demo were:

  • Defy Advanced, Avail Advanced, TCR Advanced & TCR Advanced SL road bikes
  • Anthem X 29er 1, Anthem X 29er 0, Trance X & Trance X W's and XTC 29er mountain bikes

The mountain bikers had the opportunity to partake in an XC masterclass with Aussie DH Legends Ben Cory and Jared Rando. The guys ran through different mountain bike skills with each rider and everyone came away super impressed with some new skills to take out onto their next ride.

Riders were also greeted with cold drinks and a BBQ when they returned from their demo rides on the fantastic trail networks.

Thanks to everyone from Giant, Onya Bike Belconnen and Onya Bike Civic who helped out on the day.. we hope everyone had a great time!

Check out the photos from the day from Giant friend and photographer Damian Breach.
