From World Cup XC courses to rugged backcountry gravel rides and long solo treks over rough asphalt, Grit is engineered for the toughest challenges. Its crowned shape maximizes pedaling efficiency, while the smooth-edged design ensures freedom of movement. With lightweight padding for long-haul comfort, Grit is built to take you farther.

Key Performance Factors

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

The Grit’s crowned shape tapers quickly at the wings, maximizing pedaling space and minimizing interference . A shorter nose enhances freedom of movement as Lightweight Reflexive Padding atop a stiff nylon and recycled carbon composite base offers maximum support.

LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT

Combining Lightweight Reflexive Padding, integrated pockets of free-moving Particle Flow technology, and an ergonomic central cut-out, the Grit SLR provides exceptional support and cushioning for the sit bones while reducing pressure on the perineum—all at just 160g.

FAST REACTION

The Grit’s smooth-edged design minimizes friction and interference with the inner thigh during quick movements through technical sections, while a subtle upward curve at the rear offers plenty of ischial support and encourages an efficient, aerodynamic position.

Highlights

Designed for efficiency, comfort, and speed on the trail, in the gravel or out on the road, the carbon-railed Grit SLR and stainless steel-railed Grit SL feature a crowned shape that enhances pedaling space and freedom of movement. Lightweight Reflexive Padding atop an ultra-light nylon and recycled carbon composite base offers long-haul comfort without added weight, while the gently curving rear section provides ischial support and promotes an aerodynamic riding position.

Particle Flow

Particulele elastice cu curgere liberă ale Giant sunt introduse în două buzunare separate care se adaptează la condiția unică de contact pelvin a fiecărui călăreț pentru a oferi confort și sprijin suplimentar. Particulele se deformează mai ușor sub presiune, oferind confort superior și performanță ridicată la rebound, rezultând puncte de presiune reduse pe o zonă de contact mai largă.
