Crest Suspension

With systematic tuning for smooth, predictable action and complete support throughout travel—along with custom components precision manufactured in-house specifically for Giant and Liv bikes—Crest suspension delivers a new level of suspension harmony for a perfectly balanced ride experience.

After meticulous engineering to keep rear-wheel travel predictable and supportive throughout the entire shock stroke, every fork and shock component—from damper and valving to shim stack and oil paths—is designed and tuned for a specific Giant bike and its intended ride experience. By aligning the parameters of each suspension component with specific platforms and dyamics, Crest delivers an intuitive, responsive, and balanced ride that can't be matched by off-the-shelf options.

Crest's systematic suspension tuning establishes a more linear rear wheel curve for more constant and predictable action, allowing the shock to easily reach full travel with plenty of support through its mid-stroke.

A linear wheel curve means that the upward movement of the wheel is more consistent and smooth, increasing or decreasing sequentially with impact force. When the front and rear wheels move in a consistent, linear manner, it enhances the rider’s ability to predict how the bike will handle and experience greater control.
