The “DailyTour E+ 2 [RC Dash]” model from the “GIANT” brand, released in 2023, is a high-quality e-bike designed for everyday use. Priced at 3249 EUR, this bike offers a wide range of technical features and specifications that guarantee both comfort and performance.

The frame of the DailyTour E+ 2 is made from AluxX, a robust and lightweight material that ensures stability and durability. Tektro HD-M285 components with 160mm discs have been used for the brakes and brake levers, providing reliable and powerful braking performance. The drivetrain is a Shimano Nexus C3000-7D 7-speed system, operated via a Shimano Nexus C3000-7 twist shifter, which allows for easy and precise gear selection.

The SR Suntour NEX E25 fork, with 63mm of travel and a 15x100mm axle, provides comfortable suspension and enhances riding comfort on uneven roads. The front light, an Axa BlueLine with 30 lux, and the Axa BlueLine Steady E6, provide sufficient illumination for safe cycling in low-light conditions.

The pedals are made of aluminium (VP-183), making them durable and lightweight. The GIANT crankset (38T) and the 18T chainring are perfectly matched to ensure efficient power transfer. Power is transmitted via a KMC Z1e HX chain, which is specially optimised for e-bikes.

The handlebars are GIANT Contour GT 31.8 with a 30° backsweep and integrated cable routing, which promotes an ergonomic hand position. The grips are GIANT Contact Ergo, which offer additional comfort. The angle-adjustable GIANT Contour stem allows for individual adjustment of the handlebar position.

The bike’s rims are GIANT eX2, tubeless-ready with an internal width of 21mm, and the tyres are Schwalbe Marathon E Plus 700x50c (622x50) with GreenGuard technology, which provides additional puncture protection. The hubs are Shimano HB-MT400 at the front and Shimano Nexus 7 at the rear, whilst the spokes are Sapim Race at the front and Sapim Strong at the rear.

The saddle is a Selle Royal Look-In Gel, which, combined with the suspension seatpost (30.9mm), ensures a high level of comfort. A sturdy GIANT KSA18 kickstand and a MIK luggage rack round off the spec and offer practical solutions for everyday use.

The bike is powered by a GIANT SyncDrive Core motor with 50Nm of torque, supported by Yamaha. The integrated battery, the GIANT EnergyPak Smart Integrated 500, has a capacity of 500 Wh and is charged using the GIANT EnergyPak SmartCharger (6A), which enables rapid charging.

Overall, the DailyTour E+ 2 [RC Dash] from GIANT offers a well-thought-out combination of high-quality components and innovative technology, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting or longer rides.
