XTC Advanced + 2

2018

UNLIMITED OPTIONS FOR XC AND TRAIL ADVENTURES. THIS HARDTAIL COMBINES SPEED AND EFFICIENCY WITH THE ADDED CONTROL OF 27.5+.

Handcrafted with superlight Advanced grade composite, this versatile hardtail opens a world of opportunity for off-road performance. With its 27.5+ wheel setup, it’s perfect for rough and rowdy singletrack adventures. It can also be transformed into a race-oriented 29er, or even a singlespeed setup*. It’s designed with quick and stable frame geometry that’s optimized for a 120mm suspension fork, and features wider Boost hub spacing to improve wheel stiffness and add tyre clearance. Tubeless ready. 

* Fork compatibility may vary. Please check with your local Giant authorized dealer.

  • 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.
