New Year, new goals, and new gears! If your 2026 resolution involves getting fitter, exploring the great outdoors, or finally switching to a more sustainable commute, Giant Sunshine Coast is here to help you cross that finish line.
The Sunshine Coast is arguably the best place in Australia to be a cyclist. From the technical climbs of Tewantin National Park to the scenic, family-friendly stretches of the Coastal Pathway, there is a trail for everyone.
Here is everything you need to know to kickstart your 2026 cycling journey.
1. The 2026 Range: Cutting-Edge Tech is Here
This year, the focus is on refinement, integration, and performance. Whether you are a road purist or a mountain goat, the new 2026 Giant and Liv models are game-changers.
-
For the Road: The 2026 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 Di2 continues to lead the pack in stiffness-to-weight ratio. With the industry shifting back toward hooked rims for versatility and the latest wireless drivetrains, these bikes are built for pure speed.
-
For the Trails: The Giant Anthem Advanced SL and Trance X remain the ultimate weapons for conquering Sunshine Coast spots like Sugar Bag Road or Parklands.
-
The E-Bike Revolution: E-bikes are no longer "niche." Models like the Giant Reign Advanced E+ are making the hinterland hills accessible to everyone, blending seamless motor integration with a natural ride feel.
2. Why the Sunshine Coast is Your 2026 Cycling Hub
We aren't just a bike shop; we are part of a community. The Sunshine Coast Council has expanded our network to over 1,500 kilometres of bike-friendly pathways.
