Elevate your road riding experience with confidence and control. This aluminium all-rounder blends smooth, quick handling with lightweight efficiency for a sublime ride quality.
Key Performance Factors
Balanced road geometry
Lightweight aluminium frame is engineered to produce a balanced feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and quick acceleration.
Smooth ride quality
Innovative D-Fuse composite seatpost reduces road shocks and vibrations. A Giant WheelSystem lets you run tubeless tyres up to 32mm for a smoother ride quality and reduced risk of flats.
Total control
Seamless disc brake integration, including flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, delivers consistent braking power in all types of weather and road conditions.
Techs & Features
ALUXX SL Aluminium Technology
This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminium material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for high-performance ride quality.
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.
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.
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.
