The frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.

Introduced by Giant in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.

The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost dampens vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.

Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, an oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

Composite fork helps absorb road shock and vibrations to deliver a smoother riding quality. Available on select models.
