Suitable for downhill mountain biking, Canyon has been regularly used by one of the world’s spectacular trial bikers, Fabio Wibmer in most if not all of his rides. This bike company based in Germany, with costs ranging from 35,000 pesos to around 500,000 pesos, is an amazing option for going out to trails especially if you own a house and lot near Nuvali.

Giant
Proving that old is still gold, Giant has been in the market since 1972. Despite being one of the oldest companies in cycling, this brand’s bikes is tested by top athletes and made to adapt to their needs. This company has produced touring bikes, cyclocross bikes, city bikes, kids bikes such as kids mountain bike, fat bikes and so many more. Compared to the above-mentioned brands, Giant has held its reputation in both road and mountain bikes and is a tad bit cheaper making this one of the best bike brands you can get.
With this in mind, Giant is among the many cycling brands you would regularly see going about the Laguna Loop. Despite being on the cheaper end, Giant is still a good choice to bring around Brittany Corporation.
