Dream Big
Small but mighty, this highly capable trail bike is for little rippers with big ambitions. Its lightweight alloy frame, high-performance wheels, and youth-tuned suspension balance efficient climbing, loads of traction, and confident handling to help young trail riders take it to the next level.
Key Performance Factors
YOUTH-TUNED SUSPENSION
FlexPoint rear suspension with a Giant Crest FloTrac Lite shock delivers 135mm of smooth travel tuned specifically for lighter weight riders. Up front, the 140mm Giant Crest SL FloTune Lite fork handles rocks, roots and ruts. Front and rear suspension both have minimal activation force, giving young riders smooth control and confidence on technical trails.
AGILE AND EFFICIENT
An ALUXX SL aluminum frameset with youth-specific trail geometry is combined with quality lightweight components to minimize weight and help young riders tackle challenging terrain. A new Giant TRA WheelSystem (27.5-inch front/26-inch rear) borrows key technologies from the proven adult TRA WheelSystem for improved climbing capabilities and quicker acceleration.
OFF-ROAD CONTROL
TRA WheelSystem with WideGuard technology results in lighter, stronger rims so riders can run lower tire pressures for better traction without the risk of tire punctures or rim damage. The mixed wheel setup combines the agile handling of the 26-inch rear wheel with the improved rollover capabilities of the 27.5-inch front, while a dropper seatpost makes it easy to optimize riding position while climbing or descending.
Highlights
This all-new trail bike features a lightweight ALUXX SL aluminum frame with FlexPoint rear suspension and a Giant Crest FloTrac Lite shock that delivers 135mm of fully active travel to help kids level up their trail-riding capabilities. Up front, the new Giant Crest SL FloTune Lite fork handles rocks, roots and ruts with smooth efficiency. A youth-specific Giant TRA WheelSystem (27.5-inch front and 26-inch rear) balances agility and stable handling, helping kids make the leap from neighborhood rides and pump tracks to more challenging singletrack terrain. A dropper seatpost, shorter cranks and cockpit controls designed for small hands all add up to greater control and confidence.
1
Aluxx SL Aluminum
This high-performance, state-of-the-art aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. The frameset features youth-specific trail geometry to minimize overall weight and motivate young riders as they tackle steep, technical climbs.
2
Flexpoint
The FlexPoint rear suspension delivers 135mm of travel tuned specifically for lighter weight young riders. The linkage-driven, single-pivot design eliminates the need for additional complexity, which helps improve durability.
3
Crest Flotrac Lite Shock
Custom-tuned rear shock engineered for lightweight riders. Low-friction damper and floating compression valve technology deliver smooth, active performance that gives lighter riders more traction and control on the trail.
4
Crest SL Flotune Lite Fork
Lightweight trail fork with an arch-bridge lower for increased stiffness and minimal weight gives young riders a smooth, confident ride on technical terrain. The low-friction chassis and FloTune Lite damper is tuned specifically for riders weighing under 62kg.
5
Unified Suspension Setup
Optimal air pressure and damper setting recommendations, based on rider weight, are predetermined and presented in easy-to-read graphic displays on the fork and online.
6
Mixed TRA WheelSystem
The combination of a 26-inch rear wheel aimed at lightweight agility and a 27.5-inch front wheel for improved rollover capabilities gives young riders more stability and control. WideGuard technology adds rim strength and reduces the risk of wheel damage and tire punctures.
7
Dropper Seatpost
The Giant Contact Switch AT Lite has a lower-pressure cartridge that makes it easier to engage the lever and requires less weight to lower the saddle. With adjustable travel settings and rotating cable actuator allow easy installation on smaller frames, it’s the perfect solution for young shredders.
8
OverDrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
9
MegaDrive
A massive down tube and oversized top tube work in unison to provide superior front end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering precision and pedaling performance.
10
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 92mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and increased stability on the non-driveside.
11
Integrated Frame Protection
The driveside chainstay and down tube feature built-in protection against rocks and debris. A clear 3M protective strip on the underside of the head tube/down tube junction protects the frame when it’s loaded onto a shuttle vehicle.
12
Boost Technology
Wider hub spacing (110mm front/148mm rear) results in stiffer wheels for added control plus more tire clearance and an improved chainline for optimal drivetrain performance.
13
Giant Tubeless System
Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tires deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
