Why Bike Shops Recommend MISTRAL

The main reason is that most of the parts used in MISTRAL are manufactured by SHIMANO.

It's quite common for gear shifting components to be made by SHIMANO.

Even the brakes and cranks, which are often targets for cost reduction in production, are made by SHIMANO. This is a big plus.

The fact that the wheels are also made by SHIMANO is a significant advantage.
Most manufacturers use wheels with sufficient specifications when new. However, when customers return for tire changes or other maintenance after 3-4 years, we often find that the wheel hubs have deteriorated.
This is mostly due to rainwater seeping into the wheel hubs and causing rust from hard daily use and exposure to the elements.

Among them, SHIMANO wheels are highly regarded not so much for being lightweight and smooth-rolling, but rather for their durability and low maintenance risk.
For those buying a cross bike for daily use (commuting to work or school), being able to ride it safely for a long time, even more so than its immediate performance after purchase, is an essential condition!
In that regard, the GIOS MISTRAL is a model that our bicycle shop staff can confidently sell.
MISTRAL's Riding Performance
MISTRAL's frame is made of aluminum. It's not particularly lightweight among cross bikes in the same price range; rather, it's a frame known for its excellent durability.

The frame design (geometry) is typical for a cross bike.

For those who have always ridden mamachari (city bikes), the riding position might feel slightly forward-leaning, but the handlebar height is standard for a cross bike.

The front fork is made of chromoly, not aluminum.
While slightly increasing the weight, it offers excellent vibration absorption, reducing strain on the hands, and boasts superior durability, making it an easy-to-handle material.
The MISTRAL features a classic cross bike design, making it an easy-to-handle cross bike for all urban riders!
What is Limited Color?
The model we are introducing today features a "limited color."
As the name suggests, these are colors produced in limited quantities, not part of the standard lineup.

▲Matte Black (Limited Color) |
▲Black (Standard Color) |
The limited colors are not typically used by GIOS, making this model feel exclusive and special.
