Description

Find your flow on technical trails. With adjustable geometry the option to change rear wheel size and a new 140mm Maestro rear suspension setup this versatile trail bike steamrolls singletrack with confidence and control. The all-new frameset is engineered with a super strong and lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium chassis and updated Maestro suspension system. With 140mm of rear travel and a 150mm fork it gobbles up rocks roots and ruts with ease. The frame is equipped with two three-position flip chips for the ultimate in adjustability. The rear flip chip located on the Maestro rocker arm lets you change frame geometry and switch the standard 29-inch rear wheel to 27.5 if you prefer. A second flip chip at the headset provides 10mm of reach adjustment. New integrated frame storage inside the down tube makes it easy to carry tools snacks and other essentials. Mounts below the top tube offer an additional option for storage and protection on the down tube prevents damage from trail debris and transportation. Key Performance Factors Updated suspension A new Maestro rear suspension system gives trail riders 140mm of rear travel. The trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke that has a smooth active feel plus greater stiffness in the chassis for precision control. The rear suspension is paired with a 150mm travel fork providing superior confidence and control on technical singletrack. Adjustable trail geometry A three-position Maestro flip chip lets riders dial in frame geometry for their riding style and terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance a good option for tight technical terrain. In the low setting the head tube gets slacker and the bottom bracket drops ideal for confident handling at higher speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition a new headset flip chip adjusts reach so that riders can easily achieve their preferred positioning. Rear wheel options All models come with 29-inch front and rear wheels but the flip chip lets you opt for a mixed wheel setup including a 27.5 rear. The stock 29-inch rear wheel optimises stability and roll-over capabilities while a 27.5 delivers a more agile snappier feel and more saddle-to-tire clearance in the rear. Some riders favour this “mullet” setup for riding steep technical terrain. ALUXX SL Aluminium Technology This High-Performance level state-of-the-art aluminium material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for high-performance ride quality. 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. MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages all work together to create a single floating pivot for the most active efficient and independent suspension system on the trail. 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. FLIP CHIP – MAESTRO The flip chip allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry of their Maestro-equipped mountain bike to better suit how and where they ride. It lets riders change the headtube/seattube angles and bottom bracket height via eccentric offset two-position hardware located on the upper rocker arm.

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. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy throughout this website.
