Product Overview
HAMMER UP CLIMBS, ACCELERATE ON SMOOTH SINGLETRACK, CARRY YOUR SPEED AS THE TRAIL DIPS AND DIVES. THIS LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM 29ER COMBINES EFFICIENCY AND BALANCED CONTROL, JUST THE RIGHT COMBINATION FOR XC PERFORMANCE.
With a frameset that’s engineered using ALUXX SLR, our highest-grade aluminum, this superlight and agile 29er delivers speed and efficiency for XC riders and racers. Designed to ride with a 100mm suspension fork, it's a race-bred climber with quick acceleration. The 29er-specific frame geometry offers an ideal balance of stability and maneuverability on all types of XC terrain. Boost hub spacing gives you added tire clearance and wheel stiffness, and a new Giant WheelSystem with tubeless tires delivers a smoother, more efficient ride plus a reduced risk of flats.
