Hybrid Bicycle
The tubes are butted which means that excess material is removed from low stress areas, thus reducing weight without affecting durability or ride quality.
This composite fork is strong and can handle hard bumps on urban roads with ease.
The 21-Speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain was perfectly suited for urban riding.
These brakes were good enough for wet and dry urban roads and the quality and performance of these brakes were definitely on par with entry level mechanical disc brakes.

Leisure/Fitness
Giant is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of Bicycles. This American brand has a whole fleet of Bicycles for all age groups, terrains and level of riding. From leisure rides to professional racing there is a Bicycle in Giant’s range for every purpose. We got the opportunity to test ride the Giant Escape 3 (2022) and here is what we thought.
Weight: 11.3kgs
Usage: Fitness/Commute
The Giant Escape 3 (2022) is a stylish, lightweight and fast Hybrid Bicycle with a comfortable riding posture.
The tough and lightweight ALUXX-Grade Aluminium frame on the Escape 3 is built to be lightweight with a premium quality. The tubes are butted which means that excess material is removed from low stress areas of the frame, thus reducing weight without affecting durability or ride quality. The frame tubes are shaped to offer a riding experience that remains stiff and smooth.
The Hi-Tensile Chromoly Steel fork on this Bicycle gives you confident steering control. This composite fork on the Escape 3 is strong and can handle hard bumps on urban roads with ease.
This Hybrid Bicycle has a lightweight alloy frame comes in 4(S,M,L,XL) frame sizes
The Escape 3 (2022) which we test rode came in a full Metallic Black colour frame with Gloss Black as the secondary colour for graphics. The matte finish paint job quality was top notch and made the frame look smooth. The thin seat stays and chain stays made the Bicycle look sleek.
The graphics and design were simple yet elegant.
The Giant Escape 3 (2022) features a full Shimano Tourney drivetrain. The Tourney derailleur at the front and rear are entry-level but were super smooth in shifting and is ideal for commuting and fitness rides on urban roads. The 3x7-Speed Shimano ST-EF41 trigger shifters were basic and had an easy spring action.
The 21-Speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain was perfectly suited for urban riding
The braking components remain to be V-brakes on the Escape 3 (2022). The Tektro V-brakes at the front and rear were reliable and balanced during the test ride. The reaction time from the levers to the brakes was quick. These brakes were good enough for wet and dry urban roads and the quality and performance of these brakes were definitely on par with entry level mechanical disc brakes.
The Giant Sport XC handlebar was wide and made sure the rider has an open chested riding posture. The raise is a gradual curve which makes it look good as well.
The Tektro V-Brakes were powerful and get you to a safe halt on urban roads
The 700c wheels on the Escape 3 (2022) offer a Road Bicycle rolling speed and efficiency. All models in the range feature Double Wall Aluminium Alloy rims so they are strong enough to take a pounding on the road day-after-day. The stock Giant S-X3 tires are wider than you get on a drop bar Road Bicycle so they offer a little more cushioning for a smoother ride on uneven road surfaces. These 700x38C S-X tires feature a tread pattern that offers much better traction in the wet than simple slick tires alongside puncture protection to significantly reduce the chances of a flat.
The Giant Connect Comfort Saddle was ergonomically designed and had a lot of cushioning to keep the rider sore free.

This Hybrid Bicycle is lightweight thanks to its Alloy frame and helps ride efficiently. The riding posture is comfortable and the Tektro V-brakes are quick to react and powerful. With elegant graphics, a matte finish paint job this Bicycle is premium not only in performance but in looks as well. Priced at Rs.35,999(as on 12th April 2023) the Giant Escape 3 (2022) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Bicycle for commuting and fitness purposes.
