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. This translates to ultra-efficient pedalling 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 optimise vertical compliance and produce a smoother ride quality on XC terrain.
