The 2026 Giant Escape 1 Disc is your passport to freedom on two wheels—designed for riders who want to move through the city with confidence, comfort, and speed. Whether you're commuting, cruising, or carving out time for fitness, this flat-bar hybrid blends performance and practicality in a sleek, modern package.
Built around a lightweight ALUXX-grade aluminium frame and a premium composite fork, the Escape 1 Disc delivers a smooth, responsive ride that absorbs road chatter thanks to its Advanced-grade composite fork and keeps you in control. The upright geometry offers excellent visibility and comfort, while the Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain gives you the range to tackle hills, flats, and everything in between.
Disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all conditions, and the wide tyre clearance (up to 45mm) means you can explore rougher paths with ease. Integrated mounts make it easy to add racks or fenders, transforming this versatile machine into a commuter’s dream or a weekend adventurer’s best friend.
Whether you're escaping the daily grind or discovering new routes, the Escape 1 Disc is ready to roll.
Want to go faster?
If you're loving the versatility of the Giant Escape 1 but want something with a sharper edge—more speed, more responsiveness, and more long-distance capability—the Giant FastRoad AR 2 is your next step up. It takes the flat-bar comfort you’re used to and injects it with road-bike DNA: a lighter ALUXX SL frame, carbon fork, and endurance geometry that’s built for efficiency over longer rides. With wider tyres for mixed terrain, integrated rack mounts, and a Shimano 2x9 drivetrain, the FastRoad AR is perfect for riders who want to push their fitness, commute faster, or even dabble in sport touring. It’s the Escape’s athletic older sibling—ready to go farther, faster, and with more finesse
