GRAVEL CRUSHER.
This is a performance gravel bike that’s equally adept at tackling paved roads or dirt. That versatility comes in handy when your ride includes a little bit of everything. It’s designed around a lightweight Advanced Composite frameset with endurance geometry, so you can tackle long, hard rides with less fatigue. A composite fork eats up bumps, and the D-Fuse seatpost and Contact XR D-Fuse handlebar absorb shocks and vibrations. The frame is integrated for disc brakes and has clearance for larger tires up to 45c so you can float through the rough stuff. You can also choose smaller diameter 650B rims and even higher volume tires for added control in the most rugged off-road terrain. Add in some clever frame details including three water bottle mounts, the X-Defender downtube protector and smart mount system for racks and accessories, and you have everything you need for your gravel adventures.
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.
