Description

Built for modern XC racing this full-composite flyer tackles steep singletrack climbs and technical descents with speed and control. With FlexPoint Pro rear suspension and race-ready geometry it puts you at the front of the pack. Key Performance Factors Ultra-efficient Advanced composite frameset is 241g lighter than previous generation. The bottom bracket area is stiffer for faster acceleration and a steeper seat tube puts the rider in an efficient climbing position. Superior control FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 100mm of smooth active rear travel. The frameset features modern XC geometry including a slacker 67.5-degree head tube and 110mm suspension fork for technical descents. 29er stability and speed Frame geometry and suspension are optimised for fast and stable 29-inch wheels. A longer reach and modified cockpit including a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem further boost balance and stability on XC terrain. Advanced Composite Technology Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction. Advanced Forged Composite Technology A state-of-the-art high-pressure moulding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fibre components that are lighter stiffer and stronger than similar components made from aluminium. This technology is used in critical performance parts such as Maestro Suspension rocker links. OverDrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance the system’s oversized headset bearings 1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. Tubeless System Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits. FlexPoint Pro Suspension Technology Developed as a superlight rear suspension setup for XC bikes that demand efficiency control and responsive handling FlexPoint Pro is a linkage-driven single-pivot system that delivers 100mm of rear-wheel travel.

Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight but in reality weight can vary based on size finish hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
