Was a little apprehensive when buying this with the few negative reviews on here, but this was exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv I plan to ride it on paved roadways and trails, and wanted a "Grocery Getter" so to speak. After receiving it (without any damage), I had it out of the box, and fully assembled in about 30 minutes. I did not have to look at the manual, and I'm glad because I did look at it after I got it together, and it looks like it's a manual for several different styles. I did have to adjust the breaks and gear shifters, but that's been my experience with every bike I've owned. There was one review in particular that made me nervous, saying it was not meant for someone 6'4", it was too short. Well I'm 6'5" (230lbs) with a 36" inseam, and can tell you this bike fits perfectly, granted the seat is in it's highest safe position. I've only had it for 3 days so far, and if things change I will update my review, but I put 26 miles on it so far, and it rides like a dream. Very comfortable seating position. The front suspension is good for the occasional rock or bump you hit on asphalt, but this bike is not made to be taken off road, and I'm OK with that. I was particularly happy to see the wheels were trued perfectly. I was expecting to have to take them in and have them trued at a local bike shop, as I've had to do with all my past bike purchases, but in this case they were already in great shape. For the money, this is an awesome bike.

great bike

Hi Chris. Trying to identify my Giant Cypress Mens and women’s bikes. I can’t find them on Giant’s website. Can I send you pics?

Es muy parecida a la trek modelo 7300 que no la hacen más es una lástima ya que son unas bicis liviana para andar

I have a Giant Revel (first model) as well and the bike is simple, no frills, and gets the job done. It's light, shifts nice, and easy to maintain. Mind you, I did pick it up used for $40 and added some new brake pads. The rims have scoring from the last owner not replacing the brake pads but the contact contact area on the rim is still OK. The trigger shifters setup is nice. Not as good as the Deore Rapid Fire on my Marin but good. If the bike gets stolen, it's not a big loss.

For 95% of the bike riders out there disc brakes are really overkill. Unless ones is a serious mountain biker and likes to take on hard core trails side pull brakes are perfectly fine. When I was in Taiwan I had a Merida with hydraulic brakes and the braking system was smooth as silk. Mind you, keeping the system maintained isn't too difficult either. However, I do enjoy the side pull brake system better as I just like to get on my bike and just ride everyday. I had an old Marin Nail Trail with side pull brakes, and Deore LX parts (with Rapidfire shifters) and the Marin was the best used bike I ever owned. I did pay $110 Canadian and loved the Marin for my everyday riding as the Nail Trail was built dirt tough and needed next to zero maintenance. It did get stolen recently but for 5 years of solid biking I have no complaints whatsoever. Disc brakes are just too heavy altogether for most people for what they do and most people aren't serious mountain bikers. Most people are like myself who want something easy to maintain and reliable. Mind you, I only changed the pads once on my Marin during the entire 5 years I owned the bike.

Just finished doing the Carreterra Austral in Chile on mine, a second-hand 2013 model with 38 and 35 tyres, so not so wide. A couple of guys with more expensive bikes smirked a bit at my set-up but the bike did great on pavement and dirt/gravel/ripio. She's a bike that loves rolling, freewheels downhil faster than other bikes.

I have that bike. Bought it in 2007, rode it a few times and stuck it in my garage. Two weeks ago I pulled it out, pumped up the tires, outfitted it with a headlight and some LED taillights, and started riding. After two weeks I think I'm ready for a road bike. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue about these things, as I used to ride a motorcycle

Very helpful vid. I am interested in this bike because of hand issues.

just got this bike back in october 2020 -- i use it mainly for dirt bike paths such as gravel and some rocks and pavement as well. rides very well

Hi, does anyone know what year did the Escape model first came out? Any info on the different yearly models would be appreciated. I am trying to figure out the history and what year my Escape was produced. I got it at a Japanese surplus shop here in the Philippines. Thanks!

Poor audio 🤔

Great review thanks AAA++++getting one of the 29ers tomorrow

The seats on all of these bikes no matter what year. There junk and have to be changed to something easier on the a##.

Looking reasonably road endurance bike I'm 5ft 2 if so what's the cost

I have a Giant Cypress, cool on the 4 stoke engine 👍 ,I actually want to put an electric hub on mine, got any suggestions or advice on either a back e-hub or a front e-hub on witch would b better ?

What size frame is this one? 17,18,19?

*I love the hybrid idea☞>**share4.photo/giantBike?R** I have had a racer for 30+ years. I can sit up now and not hurt my back. The 21 speeds are smooth and easy to reach just adjacent to the handle grips. The high objective rating of a 10 out of 10 by the experts was entirely deserved. The back rack as standard equipment is another plus. Handle grips are sooooo comfortable with an ergonomic design that is not the standard cylindrical shape but rather fits hands perfectly. I can't wait to get home from work to go riding each day!*

Best review on the Cypress.

i paid 40$ for one of these used and strapped a 4 stroke engine on it, its my favorite toy

I had one like this and I’m so happy with it.

Good videos. Thanks for the bike seat today. You were correct, it was for this folding bike: www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1PWTMR?ref_=pe_623860_70668690

what's the widest.tire.u can put on the escape original.rim

How much is it aprox?

Nice n concise. I have a cypress2 which i literally just dragged out from the backyard after 3 years in the weather (dont ask...im not sure last time i saw it it was in the shed). New seat and grips, dremel to the surface rust and so e wd40 and it rides like new again. Great bike.

My ears hurt.

Can you put full metal fenders on it??

The Giant Escape 3 has internal cables. I can't stand this style of exposing the cables to the rain. Upright handlebars are much safer than drop down handlebars, which are flat out annoying. There's no good place to put my hands, and I dislike riding bent over all the time. With upright handlebars, there is more leverage for turning, which is much safer, especially in city traffic.

I have that bike

20 to 50 miles? Damn, on a hybrid

You can ride this a lot longer than a few miles three or four or one or two hours don't pay attention to this guy I'm buying one in a couple of days he's full of crap other than that it's a great bike

I know this is an old review but I gotta add my 2 cents. I bought a Cypress DX back in 2009 and still have it. I'm 68 years old now and still regularly put up to 20 miles at a time on this bike comfortably. I have a bad back so a road bike is out for me. I would get another bike if I wanted to go further than that, but this bike does everything I need. This guy's claim that the Cypress bike is good for only 5 or 10 miles is ridiculous...

I have a Cypress DX I've owned since new, and I love it. I have back problems so unfortunately a road bike is pretty much out for me. I'm good for about 20 miles on this bike which is about as far as I want to go anyway.

I bought this today for $30 at an auction. I am really excited!!

But giant is awesome

Actually i need a good road bike like scott speedster but couldnt buy

Just bought the Escape 2 City with disk brakes. Very happy with it so far. I might upgrade the saddle and grips as I get sore almost immediately after sitting on it and my hands start getting numb almost immediately too (a factor I have mitigated by starting to wear gloves).

Well done, thank you for the nice overview of this model

Would you buy this practically brand new for $150? I'm considering buying one. I need an educated opinion.

proud owner😊

Thank you. Very helpful info.

Great video. thanks for info

You forgot to mention that it's a 7 speed freewheel not cassette

One time i sat on my wee wee

Can you ride this on gravel paths?

why wouldnt he reccomend farther distances than and hour or so on this bike?

will this bike work for a 6'4 390 pound man looking to ride for fitness and to get in shape

that is not the Giant Cypress, since it has a suspension fork. It must be the Giant Cypress DX.

I bought a Giant Cypress DX in 2015 and regularly ride 20-40 miles a day on it, 3-5 days a week. I once did 60 miles on it in 5 hours. The upright riding position is easier on my back and wrists, and the added comfort more than makes up for any wind resistance (of concern to racing cyclists only, as wind resistance will tire you more easily and cut your time). Since my biking is more for exercise and to get out in the fresh air and sunshine, and not competitive or time or distance oriented, it makes sense to buy a bike that allows me to be more comfortable on it longer.
