I had a Trek 8.3 Dual Sport. It was a great bike until the rear hub bearing went out in it twice. I never got water near the hubs or bottom bracket. It was supposed to have sealed bearings.
I have worked on most of the major brands and agree with Marsh Wildman, There is really not that much difference between the major brands, Trek or Giant difference is insignificant
They are both good. Giant will have a minor price point advantage in being the 'actual' manufacturer – this assume they are passing on the savings. I believe TREK is made in the MERIDA factories as an OEM builder.
Just ride your choices. Just for 2 or 3 mins. One Flash will come "Yeah. I am very comfortable. That is your bike. Not confusing with brands or cost. Ride and decide.
I'd go for the make and model bike that best suits my needs. Too often these bikes are over built with shocks and gearing that exceeds the rider's needs. Example: I live on flatland with reasonable roads, so for my ‘round-town utility bike, I chose a Linus 3 speed. Anything more and it would be wasted, add expense and weight.
The company that builds the bike you feel most comfortable on. Also (as others have said) try the other brands. Specialized have some awesome Hybrid products and GT also have bikes equal to Trek and Giant

Treks Verve bikes are great. Also check out the FX bikes. They have a lifetime frame warranty as well. trekbikes.com

Track and giant are made at the same place get the one you like

Any of the major brands are about the same.
SALSA…..the early entry, the best

Ride a trek 7.2 . Very comfortable
Trek— American made too
At any given price point it's apples to apples.

For the kind of bike whatever one fits you the best at the best price go for it. Both are good

U love my giant hybrid on and off road hardtail!!!!!
Haibike is a good example
Love my Trek, love them in general. Last 3 bikes were all Trek. 🙂
So many great bikes. Buy the lightest one you can afford. Make sure it fits correctly. Get disk brakes.
There are other companies too including Specialized and Fuji for example.
Obvious Giant Is The Worlds Largest Selling Brands..
Same. It comes down to components. The frames are made in the same factories in Taiwan.
I would not be surprised if many brands were affiliates of one parent company creating their own competition.
Both garbage.

Whichever one fits you best. Get fit for a bike.
I personally prefer trek over giant. But I suppose they're essentially the same. And they're frame geometry is different
Specialized 🙂

Trek. I have one – love it.
Both are good, and actually made in same factory. It's all about fit and preference.
Nobody likes a Giant bike they just end up with it or don't know any better. get a Bianchi and be the envy of the neighborhood amiright Tim Elliott
Did Shameer make a decision yet?
