This modern all-rounder is built on a lightweight aluminum frame paired with a composite fork to give you control and comfort that goes the distance. There’s extra clearance for wide, high-volume tires—the kind you need for unpredictable or changing road surfaces. The components are engineered for whatever the road dishes out. The seatpost and cockpit add smooth compliance, giving you comfort that won’t quit when you push past old limits.

Techs & Features

ALUXX SL Aluminum Technology

This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for a high-performance ride quality.

D-Fuse Seatpost

The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost damps vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.

OverDrive

An oversized fork steerer tube increases front-end stiffness for precise steering at speed, giving you greater control through corners and over rough road surfaces. 

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.
