Techs & Features

AERO INSPIRED

An aero-shaped down tube and composite fork form a sleek profile that cuts through the wind. The Giant ALP WheelSystem has an all-rounder rim depth of 30mm 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.

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 descending and cornering. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, predictable braking power and help minimise hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain with a 50/34 chainring combination offers a wide range of gears for optimal pedalling cadence on variable terrain.

SMOOTH COMFORT

An Advanced-grade composite fork soaks up the bumps and contours of the road, minimising hand and arm fatigue, while an ergo-shaped handlebar with an expanded surface area helps distributes pressure across the palm and thumb web. A D-Fuse seatpost absorbs shocks and vibrations, and a Giant Grit Core saddle uses Particle Flow Technology to conform to your body. Higher volume 28mm tyres allow you to run lower tyre pressure for better grip and a smoother ride quality.

Weight The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you.
