The Giant Stiletto bike is a chopper bike that is reminiscent of Harley Davidsons’ motorbikes. They are a very rare breed of bikes as it is very hard to come by them nowadays because the popular bike manufacturer Giant has discontinued their Stiletto bikes.
In comparison to modern-day bicycles, the Stiletto bikes do offer the user to be able to shift gears and comes with most of the innovations in modern biking technology which includes components made out of carbon to make the bike lightweight and durable. But it does seem to be lacking in keeping up with the top of the line components that are used in bikes today, mainly because this lineup of bikes has been discontinued for a long time now and is very rare to find nowadays.
However, the most distinguishable feature of these bikes is its design and looks. While most modern top-end bikes look mostly similar to one another, the Stiletto definitely has that wow factor when it comes to looks as they look like chopper motorbikes. This unique design is the reason why they were popular back in the day. But when the market was introduced to high-end mountain bikes, these chopper bikes quickly started to show their age and incompetence in comparison to modern-day bikes. Thus, this resulted in manufacturers quickly discontinuing the production of these kinds of bikes and refocus on making top-end mountain bikes for their customers.

Final Thoughts on Giant Stiletto Bikes
These are a rare breed of bikes that have been long forgotten. The Giant Stiletto Bike is a beacon of a time long gone when chopper bikes were popular among young kids and bike enthusiasts. Today, they are discontinued from production and can only be found via certain online pages, resellers, and used marketplaces. They still hold a lot of emotional sentiment to a lot of people. But just because they are gone, does not mean that they are forgotten.

I’m the first and only owner of a Black Edition Stiletto, had it since 2005. The chrome still shines, it’s done 160k miles in the time I’ve had it and it’s still got the original rear tyre. It is currently sitting in my garage on a centre stand next to my Sinnis Hoodlum.
