Advanced SL 0



WHEEL-TO-WHEEL, PINNING IT THROUGH CORNERS, PASSING ON THE CLIMBS. IF XC IS YOUR GAME, THIS IS YOUR BIKE.
Built to give Giant World Cup pros every advantage, this is quite simply the fastest XC bike ever produced by Giant. We took the world’s best-performing suspension system, Maestro, and mated it with the incredibly lightweight, stiff and sharp-handling Advanced SL-grade composite frame. With the massive MegaDrive downtube, super-stiff PowerCore bottom bracket and all-new OverDrive 2 oversize headtube, you have a complete high-performance system that takes the mountain bike beyond integration.

| 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. |
