Advanced SL 0



IT’S LIGHTER THAN MOST XC BIKES YET IT’S BEEFY ENOUGH TO TAME THE MOST WICKED TRAILS. BEHOLD THE ULTIMATE TRAIL BIKE.
Bolstered by 5 inches of rock-eating Maestro Suspension and the meticulously hand-crafted Advanced SL-grade composite frameset, this is the most luxurious way to ride harsh, rugged terrain. The all-new OverDrive 2 headtube and MegaDrive downtube produce a stiffer, lighter front end and more confident handling, so you can climb faster and descend with more confidence.

| Weight | How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer. |
