2018 Giant Toughroad Gravel Bike - Size Large - $700

Selling a Large 2018 Giant Toughroad Gravel/Adventure bike. Strava says I've put 400 miles on this thing. This was my gravel/road bike for the last 2 years and I'm looking to clear some room in the garage as I haven't been riding this thing much at all. I've upgraded quite a few things on this bike and it's setup to cruise fireroads and singletrack with ease. This bike has mountain bike tire clearance and will easily fit 2.2 - 29" tires for a monstercross setup.

This bike has fantastic ride quality due to the tubeless 40c maxxis ravager tires and the carbon fork and seatpost. Also included is a set back seat post so that taller riders can dial the fit in should you desire.

Do you have any specs on it? JKJKJK. Seriously smashing deal IMO, and I'm happy for once that my neck mandates a more upright seating position.

 

Sh!t! This bike was at the top of my list, but I couldn’t find one to try in person.

Amazing deal...

 

This is a rare bike to find in shops. I had to order mine. You know, I just realized that this is the first/only bike I ever owned that I've never crashed. I rode this thing with a bunch of different wheel/tire setups: 29 x 2.2 xc tires, 650bx47 road plus and the 40c setup that is on it now. It's a pretty versatile bike and really rides like a drop bar mountain bike on the road. I bought this specifically to do touring/bike packing stuff. Giant sells some racks specifically for it (links below) that are pretty economical. I also actually wanted the qr frame/wheel setup so that I could be guaranteed to find parts in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, it's got a bunch of pretty well thought out features on it, especially from a larger brand. The silver in the frame is reflective so it glows with head lights coming at it from the side. The front fork has an internally routed brake line so that it doesn't chafe or rub on bags/racks. The frame uses a removable mud and downtube guard that houses the cables so that you can remove the components without disassembly but the bike has the clean internally routed look. Also, the D-fuse seatpost really works, this thing is plenty cushy enough with these 40c tires at 32-35 psi for a blackstar run.

it actually looks pretty good with the racks installed too.

 

I'd like to test ride it. PM sent.

 

I have a gravel bike and I still keep coming back to look at this one. Crazy good deal...

 

Thankfully its a large and not a medium.
As I have no room for another bike. But it checks the boxes that I like

 

Very good deal on a great gravel bike. Those Ravagers are awesome...I've got them on my steed.

And I have the D-Fuse on the Defy. Don't know why it's not done on all bikes.

 

IT's got one of those shifty bits thingamiggers up front....wouldn't know how to operated that doohickey.

Nice bike otherwise. Just not in my wheelhouse.

Erik's bikes are always well maintained....you won't be getting a clapped out hoopty.

 

If it wasn’t 250 miles away and a large. There are miles of dirt roads out here that are perfect for a gravel bike. Thinking of selling my road bike and swapping to a gravel.

 

@Ebruner is this still for sale?

 

Bump.
