Key Features

Balanced road geometry - The frame is engineered to encourage a balanced, all-rounder feel that combines confident rider positioning with sprightly cornering and acceleration.

Smooth ride quality - Experience the innovative D-Fuse seat post design that lessens road shocks and vibrations. The Giant WheelSystem enables you to run tubeless tyres up to 38c for a smoother ride and reduced risk of flats.

Total control - The seamless disc brake integration, inclusive of flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, gives more consistent braking power for improved control, even in wet weather and on uneven roads.

Technologies

ALUXX Aluminium Technology - This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets suitable for a diverse range of bikes and riding styles.

Compact Road Design - Introduced by Giant, Compact Road has revolutionised the visuals and feel of high-performance road bikes. A downward sloping toptube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes a perfect fit easier for riders of all sizes.

OverDrive - Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology ensures precise front-end steering performance. The system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube result in exceptional steering stiffness.

Tubeless System - Experience fewer flat tyres, incredible traction, decreased rolling resistance, and a smoother, faster ride with Giant’s Tubeless System.

D-Fuse Technology - The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar function as a system to absorb road shocks and vibrations, enabling you to ride farther and faster.
