Techs & Features

ALL-ROAD FAST

An aero-shaped down tube and composite fork form a sleek profile that cuts through wind and absorbs road shocks and vibrations. Wide tyre clearance (up to 43mm) lets you run high-volume tyres for a smoother, more efficient ride over rough roads or gravel. Giant P-AR wheels offer an all-rounder rim depth of 23mm and robust aluminium construction that’s lightweight and strong enough to handle everyday use on variable road surfaces. The cockpit setup features internally routed cables to further reduce wind drag and create a clean, modern look.

ENDURANCE INSPIRED

A D-Fuse composite seatpost absorbs road shocks and vibrations from the rear wheel, while an Advanced-grade composite fork reduces road chatter up front. These proven technologies, borrowed from high-performance Giant road bikes, add compliance to help minimise fatigue on long rides. The Giant Approach saddle uses Particle Flow Technology to conform to your body. High-volume Gavia Fondo 2 32mm tubeless tyres allow you to run lower tyre pressure for better grip and a smoother ride quality. The tyres feature Race Shield Kevlar puncture protection to help prevent tyre punctures.

COMMAND CONTROL

An ergonomically designed handlebar optimises hand comfort in every position, from the tops to the hoods to the drops. The drops have 7.2-degree flare for greater confidence and control while descending and cornering. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, predictable braking power and help minimise hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain offers a wide range of gears for optimal pedaling cadence on variable terrain.

Weight The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.

Please note that our specifications may be impacted by running substitution changes, we highly recommend confirming the specifications of our products with your local retailer at the time of sale if purchasing in-store. *Recommended Retail Prices are subject to change without notice and may vary from store to store depending on freighting and assembly costs.
