LIGHT, EFFICIENT AND FLAT-OUT FAST. WHEN THE CLIMBS ARE STEEP AND THE SPEEDS ARE HIGH, THIS IS THE WEAPON OF CHOICE FOR XC PROS LIKE TWO-TIME MTB MARATHON WORLD CHAMP LEO PÁEZ.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Superlight and responsive
Pro-level Advanced SL composite frame is the lightest off-road frame Giant has ever produced, offering serious XC racers a competitive advantage for climbing, accelerating and sprinting.
Ultra-efficient
The frame is engineered with the highest stiffness-to-weight-ratio of any hardtail mountain bike in its class, which translates to ultra-efficient pedaling power and precise handling on the trail.
Custom compliance
Each frame is custom-tuned based on its size. Individual composite lay-up schedules are created to optimize vertical compliance to produce a smoother ride quality on XC terrain.
