Technologieën
ALUXX SL Aluminium Technologie
We proberen al onze frames zo licht en sterk mogelijk te maken. Door onze ervaring in het maken van performance fietsen weten we waar een frame comfortabel moet zijn en waar stijf. Met die kennis ontwikkelden we de ALUXX SL Aluminium: een aluminium frame met precies de juiste verhouding tussen sterkte en gewicht. Een bijkomend voordeel van aluminium: het kan niet roesten.
Compact Road Design
Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
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.
