Pure XC Speed
This superlight composite XC flyer blends the most up-to-date Maestro suspension technology with the speed, control and stability of progressive 29er geometry. If XC racing is your game, this is your express route to the podium.
De Advanced Composite frameset (hoofdframe en swingarm) is superlicht en heeft een agressieve 69 graden balhoofdhoek en 73.5 graden zitbuishoek om sneller te kunnen klimmen en accelereren.
De framegeometrie en vering zijn geoptimaliseerd voor 29 inch wielen en bieden een racewinnende combinatie van snelheid en stabiliteit op XC-terrein.
De verbeterde Maestro Suspension met een Advanced Forged Composite rocker-arm en Trunnion-mount demper zorgen voor soepele veerprestaties op XC-beklimmingen, in bochten en afdalingen.
Engineered with a superlight Advanced-grade carbon frame, including the front triangle and rear swingarm, this full-suspension 29er features 90mm of smooth rear suspension travel and 100mm up front. The proven Maestro rear suspension system includes a trunnion mount shock with a lower leverage ratio for efficient pedaling and braking performance. The linkage allows for shorter chainstays, which improves the bike’s climbing capabilities and overall agility. The Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm is lighter, stiffer and stronger than the previous aluminum version, and other updates include wider Boost hub spacing and an integrated Giant WheelSystem that gives you super strong and stiff wheels for confident, precise handling on XC terrain.
A state-of-the-art high-pressure molding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fiber components that are lighter, stiffer and stronger than similar components made from aluminum. This technology is used in critical performance parts such as Maestro Suspension rocker links.
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.
