Giant SCR 2 2020 Frame

The Giant SCR 2 (2020) is built on a lightweight ALUXX Grade Alloy frame. ALUXX Alloy frames are forged in Giant’s own factories. This technology makes sure that material is used where it is necessary and ensures there is a perfect strength to weight ratio for optimum handling. The Advanced Grade Alloy Composite fork on this Road Bicycle is bladed and absorbs a good amount of vibration of the surface.

Giant SCR 2 2020 Design

The SCR 2 (2020) which I test rode came in a full Black primary colour on the frame with Blue and White as the secondary colours. The gloss finish paint job was bright and shining. The overall design was simple yet elegant. The fork, saddle and rims are colour-coded which enhanced the overall aesthetics.

Giant SCR 2 2020 Gearing

The Giant SCR 2 (2020) is an entry-level Road Bicycle with Shimano gearing components. The front derailleur is a Shimano Claris 2-Speed, and the rear derailleur is a Shimano Claris 8-Speed. Shimano Claris 2x8-Speed paddle shifters controls the gear system. This combination of the full Claris drivetrain provides smooth shifting and is ideal for sprints and climbs.

Giant SCR 2 2020 Brakes and Steering

The braking set up for the SCR 2 (2020) is the Tektro TK-B177 Road Caliper brakes. The Tektro brake set up has a strong yet sleek build and a deep Dual Pivot system. The Dual Pivot Caliper brakes allowed for consistent lever feel and generated excellent stopping power coupled with the soft compound pads with easy bolt on Allen key pad fixings to forged Aluminium arms. This improved braking quality allows the rider to ride with greater confidence on steep descents and quick turns.

The Giant Connect drop handlebar on the SCR 2 (2020) offers a superb strength-to-weight ratio for uncompromised performance and exceptional comfort. This handlebar comes with little drop and reach and it has also got a modern, ergonomic shape for an excellent and comfortable shoulder position.

Giant SCR 2 2020 Wheels and Saddle

The SCR 2 (2020) rolls on a pair of stock Giant S-R4 AC 700x25C slick tires. These tires use a single compound which provides good grip during testing. These tires have a light tread pattern at the edge which helps in traction on wet roads and in turns as well.

The Selle Royale Road Saddle has an ergonomic design with perfect amount of padding making it ideal for racing and long distance rides.

This is an entry-level Road Bicycle with a lightweight Alloy frame and a comfortable riding posture. The Shimano Claris gear set up along with Tektro Caliper brakes provide a fast and safe riding experience. Priced at Rs.52,999(as on 5th February 2020) the Giant SCR 2 (2020) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy their first ever Performance Focused Road Bicycle.
