This superlight aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any Giant aluminum frameset. State-of-the-art microscopic grain manipulation and advanced butting allows for 20 percent thinner and lighter tube shapes than ALUXX SL framesets.
The best adventures are the ones that test you. With the lightweight and versatile ToughRoad SLR EX, you’re up for the challenge no matter the terrain.
Key Performance Factors
Lightweight agility
The frameset is constructed with ALUXX SLR, Giant’s lightest grade of aluminum, and a composite fork.
Comfort and stability
D-Fuse seatpost and optimized geometry put the rider in a position that balances efficiency with confidence on rough roads, paths or trails.
Integrated rack mounts
Compatible with front and rear racks, allowing easy cargo capacity for daily trips or longer treks.
Highlights
A lightweight ALUXX SLR aluminum frame, smooth-handling composite fork, and drop-bar positioning make ToughRoad SLR EX the right choice for adventuring into the unknown. The fast-rolling 700c wheels are fitted with high-volume 50mm Giant tubeless tires. The D-Fuse seatpost absorbs road vibration and shocks to help minimize fatigue on long rides. And powerful disc brakes with 160mm rotors give you added confidence and control on rough roads and in all types of weather. Thoughtful details including integrated rack mounts and the X-Defender downtube complete the package.

ALUXX SLR Aluminum
D-Fuse Seatpost
The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost dampens vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.
Disc-Brake Integration
The frame and fork are engineered specifically for disc-brakes for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.
Clean Cable Routing
The frame features unique internal cable ports for sleek, uncluttered appearance and performance.
X-Defender Frame Protection
Protective padding on underside of the toptube shields the frameset and rider from dirt and rocks while providing smooth cable routing for adventurous riding.
Rack and Fender Mounts
Integrated mounts and rack make it easy to customize with bags and accessories for touring, trekking or gravel riding.
Techs & Features
ALUXX SLR Aluminum Technology
This superlight Pro level aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any Giant aluminum frameset. State-of-the-art microscopic grain manipulation and advanced butting allows for 20 percent thinner and lighter tube shapes than ALUXX SL framesets.
D-Fuse Technology
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.
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.

- WeightThe most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
