State-of-the-art aluminum frameset technology features Giant's highest strength-to-weight ratios, most advanced forming methods, and unique welding techniques.
The best adventures are the ones that test you. The lightweight and versatile ToughRoad SLR EX ensures that you’re up for the challenge no matter the terrain. This drop-bar all-rounder will keep you rolling on paved roads, gravel or dirt.
A lightweight ALUXX SLR aluminum frame, smooth-handling composite fork, and drop-bar positioning make ToughRoad SLR EX the right choice for adventuring into the unknown. The fast-rolling 700c wheels are fitted with high-volume 50mm Giant tubeless tires. These allow you to run lower tire pressure for comfort and traction, and they also reduce the risk of flat tires. The D-Fuse seatpost absorbs road vibration and shocks to help minimize fatigue on long rides. And powerful disc brakes with 160mm rotors give you added confidence and control on rough roads and in all types of weather. Thoughtful details including integrated rack mounts and the X-Defender downtube complete the package, making ToughRoad SLR EX the perfect machine for tackling imperfect roads.
