KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

Balanced Road Geometry

The frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.

Smooth Ride Quality

An innovative D-Fuse seatpost reduces road shocks and vibrations, while the Giant wheelset lets you run tubeless tyres up to 38mm for a more comfortable ride and fewer flats.

Total Control

Seamless disc brake integration—including flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles—delivers consistent braking power for enhanced control, even in wet weather or over rough roads.

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

COMPACT ROAD DESIGN

Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE 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.

TUBELESS SYSTEM

Fewer flat tyres. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
