GIANT UNICLIP: what does this system consist of?
UNICLIP is the name of GIANT‘s under-saddle anchoring system, a great idea to safely and aesthetically integrate a multitude of accessories. In this article we show you all its possibilities. You will be surprised by how many things you can install on it.
Safety, aesthetics and aerodynamics
Bicycles are beautiful in the catalogs, so clean and aerodynamic… until you have them at home and you start to put all kinds of accessories hanging in the most unexpected places, necessary things if you do long routes and you don’t want to stay lying on the road: tool bag, CO2 bottles, rear light…
At GIANT they set out to organize all these accessories in the best possible way, to integrate them under the saddle with a system that would allow us to gain safety and aesthetics or aerodynamics. Thus UNICLIP was born.
If you buy a saddle compatible with this system, you will see that the lower case has a small rubber cap that hides a hole for a screw:
Here the «cradle» of the UNICLIP system is attached, with which we also get a cover, in case at some point we do not use any accessories and want to cover the rear gap:
The cradle is fixed to the saddle by means of an Allen screw:
In this view from the top you can see that it is fully integrated into the saddle:
Very good, we already have the system installed on the saddle, and now … what can we attach to it? Let’s see the main accessories.
Numen + rear light
It is an LED taillight with a great design, 5 flash modes, 20 lumens of power and a battery life of up to 24 hours in intermittent mode:
It may not be the brightest light on the market, but we assure you that it is one of the longest lasting. It is a joy to go out on the road and know that you will endure long distance rides without problems, maybe several of them:
Thanks to the UNICLIP system, it is fully integrated under the saddle, without disturbing, moving or offering resistance to air:
The integration on the bike is simply spectacular:
Shadow Uniclip S Bag
It is a waterproof, aerodynamic and very light tool bag (63 g) with an anchoring system that allows us to put on and take off in a super simple way, also keeping the Numen+ rear light in place:
Despite its small size (there is another larger version), we can save what is necessary for a long route:
It has an anchoring system with a latch that closes or releases the bag:
Like the rest of UNICLIP accessories, integration is perfect and on the road you forget about friction, noise and good aerodynamics is achieved:
Speedshield fender
If rain is common in your area, this rear fender with UNICLIP system will provide you with good protection against splashes from the rear wheel:
CO2 cartridge holder
Allows you to install a holder for 2 CO2 cartridges and the pump valve:
Bottle cage
The ideal option for those looking for the best possible aerodynamic performance, it allows installing 2 bottles behind the saddle:
A great idea
As you have seen, the possibilities of the system are very large, allowing you to carry a multitude of accessories in a safe, aerodynamic, integrated and stylish way. A very good idea from GIANT to make life easier for us on the road. Bravo!
