The all-new XtC Advanced SL 29er was developed with British Olympian Liam Killeen to conquer World Cup XC courses and singletrack trails with speed, efficiency and control. Handcrafted with Giant's highest-grade composite material, it's the machine that helped Liam win his seventh XC National Championship in the U.K. and qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games this summer.

This video highlights some of the design details in the new 29-inch-wheel hardtail XC racer. Lighter, smoother and faster XC riding and racing—coming soon from Giant.
