Key Performance Factors

• Balanced Road Geometry: Frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.
• Smooth Ride Quality: Innovative D-Fuse seatpost reduces road shocks and vibrations, and a Giant WheelSystem lets you run tubeless tires up to 38mm.
• Total Control: Seamless disc brake integration with flat mounts and 12mm thru-axles produces consistent braking power even in wet weather and on rough roads.

Advanced Technologies

• ALUXX Aluminum Technology: Performance level 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce a strong, lightweight frameset.
• Compact Road Design: A downward sloping toptube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike and a better fit for all riders.
• D-Fuse Technology: The seatpost and handlebar system is specifically designed to absorb road shocks and vibrations, allowing you to ride farther and faster.
• OverDrive: Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology provides precise front-end steering performance and optimal stiffness.
• Tubeless System: Experience fewer flat tires, greater traction, and less rolling resistance for a smoother, faster ride.
