May 2021 · Tass Whitby

Good all-rounder with great potential – but the 8-speed Claris drivetrain can be frustrating

  • Tubeless-ready wheels

  • Good tyre clearance

  • Price

Lows
  • Frustrating 8-speed Claris

  • Not blue like the AR 3...

May 2018 · Aoife Glass

A quiet, reliable all-round performer, but not a field leader. Buy if you want a bike that will do a bit of everything

Highs
  • Hydraulic disc brakes give great stopping power and control, top-end carbon frame

Lows
  • For long rides, vibrations through the frame became fatiguing

  • Giant Hydraulic Brake system is an eyesore.

Take the long way home, and the Avail’s smooth ride will certainly make it easy. A long 1,016-millimeter wheelbase and 420-millimeter chainstays add
