Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.

Give yourself more options for off-road adventures. This lightweight composite hardtail features 27.5+ wheels and tires for added grip and control on rugged terrain. As a bonus, you can convert it to a 29er for XC stability and speed.
Handcrafted with superlight Advanced grade composite, this versatile hardtail opens up a world of opportunity for off-road performance. In its 27.5+ configuration, you can run oversized tires for confident handling on rough and rowdy singletrack. It can also be transformed into a race-oriented 29er—or even a singlespeed setup*. The frame is designed with quick and stable geometry that’s optimized for a 120mm suspension fork. And it also features wider Boost hub spacing to improve wheel stiffness and maximize tire clearance. * Fork compatibility may vary. Please check with your local Giant authorized dealer.

Techs & Features
Advanced Composite Technology
OverDrive
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.
Tubeless System
Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
