XtC Advanced SL 29
All-Out XC
Light, efficient and flat-out fast. When the climbs are steep and the speeds are high, this is the weapon of choice for Giant XC pros.
Facteurs de performance clés
Superlight and responsive
Pro-level Advanced SL composite frame is the lightest off-road frame Giant has ever produced, offering serious XC racers a competitive advantage for climbing, accelerating and sprinting.
Ultra-efficient
The frame is engineered with the highest stiffness-to-weight-ratio of any hardtail mountain bike in its class, which translates to ultra-efficient pedaling power and precise handling on the trail.
Custom compliance
Each frame is custom-tuned based on its size. Individual composite lay-up schedules are created to optimize vertical compliance to produce a smoother ride quality on XC terrain.
Points importants
With World Cup pedigree and a progressive frame design, this is the lightest off-road machine ever built by Giant. The chassis is handcrafted with pro-level Advanced SL composite, featuring geometry made to optimize its fast-rolling 29-inch wheels. Every frame is custom assembled with a specific composite layup schedule that varies according to frame size. The result is supercharged climbing efficiency, smooth handling through roots, rocks and ruts, and uncompromising performance to match your XC obsession.

ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
Professional-grade raw carbon material is woven in our own composite factory using our most advanced engineering and construction methods including Continuous Fiber Technology to add strength while reducing weight and Carbon Nanotube resin to improve impact resistance.
2
OPTIMIZED TUBE SHAPING
Frameset features special tubing shapes designed to minimize weight, optimize stiffness, and improve the bike’s handling on XC terrain.
3
OVERDRIVE
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, this system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8”) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
4
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Large cable ports and tool-free bottom bracket guide ensure easy cable installation while minimizing frame weight.
5
MEGADRIVE
A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
