2025 GIOS Crossbike Full Overview | MISTRAL Gets a Full Model Change! ARIES and LECRO Debut

January 11, 2025

GIOS, an Italian brand famous for its impressive "Gios Blue," has revamped its cross-bike category for the 2025 model year!

For many years, GIOS's flagship cross bike, the "MISTRAL," had not undergone a model change, but now its frame design and aesthetics have been completely renewed, and two new models have been added!

Instead of having the same frame with different component configurations, each model is designed for specific situations: "classic cross bike," "rough-terrain compatible cross bike," and "city-specialized cross bike."

Here's an overview of the entire GIOS cross bike series!

What is GIOS?

GIOS is a long-established Italian manufacturer founded in 1948.

It's one of the brands often seen on the streets of Japan, with a strong impression of vivid blue bicycles known as Gios Blue.

Furthermore, all GIOS bicycles are committed to quality, featuring durable frames and incorporating more reliable Shimano parts than other brands' models in the same price range. With reasonable prices, there are many models that we, as bike shop staff, can confidently recommend.
