Why are Giant bikes cheaper?

Why are Giant bikes cheaper?
Price. Overall, Giant is less expensive than Trek. Because of where they are manufactured, Giant is able to keep the costs of its bike lower. Trek bikes do offer budget-friendly rides, but their bikes, on average, are more expensive to purchase.

What is the giant scr3 made of?
The Giant uses 6061 Aluxx alloy tubing with a smoothly ovalised down-tube and tapered stays that make for elegant lines. Teamed with the neatly coordinated carbon fork (with aluminium steerer) and sleek finish, the SCR3 looks much more expensive than it is.
Is the scr3 the lightest mountain bike frame?
Teamed with the neatly coordinated carbon fork (with aluminium steerer) and sleek finish, the SCR3 looks much more expensive than it is. At 1,470g, it’s not the lightest frame around, but for the sub-£500 price bracket there’s little competition that can better it.
What is the difference between the scr3 and scr4?
SCR4 is a compact double, SCR3 is a compact tripple (IIRC). Got carbon forks on SCR3 which means slightly less weight compared to SCR4. But the shifters are still the same on both of them, they have that silly tab on the side instead of the paddle like on Tiarga upward models.
What makes the scr3 a comfort road bike?
The SCR3 has a slightly longer head-tube to lift the riding position, and elongated rear stays that stretch out the wheelbase for better stability. The top-tube isn’t as short as some other women’s comfort road bikes (like the Specialized Ruby), so it suits riders who don’t require a particularly small reach.
