State-of-the-art aluminum material delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. The frameset also features double-butted tubing, FluidForm shaping, and innovative welding technologies including Smooth Weld to give it a high-performance ride quality.

Designed to absorb road shocks, vibrations and impacts for a smoother ride and reduced hand and arm fatigue. Wide tire clearance (up to 43mm) accommodates high-volume tires, making it equally capable on rough roads, mixed surfaces, and gravel adventures.

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

The frame and fork are engineered specifically for Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, delivering powerful, reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.

Brake and shifter cables are routed internally through the handlebar, stem and frameset for aero optimization and a clean, uncluttered look.

Alloy handlebar with an expanded surface area evenly distributes pressure across the palm and thumb web. The bar is designed for comfort in every position, from the tops to the hoods to the drops. A 7.2-degree flare adds control while descending and cornering.

Composite D-shaped seatpost damps vibrations and absorbs road shock, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride quality.

Particle Flow Technology uses free-moving particles in the padding to adapt to a rider’s body and spread pressure more evenly. The result is greater comfort for everyday rides and longer days in the saddle.

Giant Gavia Fondo 2 32mm tubeless tires combine efficient rolling with added grip and cushioning for rough pavement and light gravel. Frame and fork clearance for tires up to 43mm lets riders add more volume for extra control and grip on more rugged routes.

Strong, lightweight and structurally stiff aluminum alloy wheels with 25mm deep rims deliver versatile all-road speed, efficiency and everyday durability.
