Fathom 2

2021

£1,399

Get your dose of singletrack on a fun hardtail that puts you in control. The combination of a lightweight hardtail frame, 130mm suspension fork and 27.5 wheels with wide rims and high-volume tyres delivers loads of traction, speed and fun on the trail.

Please note the Fathom 1 is available with either a Giant Crest Fork (£1549) or RockShox 35 fork (£1649) - please check before adding to your basket.

With its updated ALUXX SL aluminium frame, quick-handling 27.5 wheels and high-volume tyres, Fathom is a great choice for technical terrain and singletrack shredding. It blends the efficient ride quality of a classic hardtail with the confident ride quality of larger tyres that absorb bumps and give you more traction—so you can tackle rougher trails with total control. The frame is designed with trail-friendly geometry that includes a more relaxed head angle and a 130mm suspension fork.

Key Performance Factors

Trail Tuned Design

ALUXX SL aluminium frameset is hand-built in-house by the world leader in aluminium engineering.

Responsive Handling

Frame geometry is designed to optimise the confident, stable handling of plush high volume tyres (27.5x2.6), and is ideal for rugged, adventurous terrain.

Smooth Control

More relaxed frame geometry (compared to XC) and control-focused components deliver added control for trail riding conditions.

  • Weight
    The 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.
