Balanced road geometry

The meticulously engineered frame provides a balanced feel, blending confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration capabilities for a well-rounded performance.

Technologies

ALUXX Aluminium Technology

Using 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes, this Performance level frame material achieves the desired balance of strength and lightweight design, catering to different bikes and riding styles.

Compact Road Design

Initially introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road has transformed the world 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 the bike more adaptable to riders of all sizes.

D-Fuse Technology

The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar are designed to work in unison, absorbing road shocks and vibrations, letting you ride farther and faster.

OverDrive

Giant’s remarkable fork steerer tube technology aims to ensure precision in front-end steering performance. The oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube combine to deliver outstanding steering stiffness.

Tubeless System

Experience fewer flat tyres and enjoy greater traction, reduced rolling resistance, and a faster, smoother ride with Giant’s Tubeless System.
