Unlock new terrain with this progressive new gravel bike featuring front suspension technology. The lightweight aluminium frame has suspension-optimised geometry and a flip chip that lets you adjust wheelbase and tyre clearance for any adventure. An ALUXX aluminium frameset with suspension-optimised geometry is paired with a purpose-built short-travel 40mm fork. A flip chip on the rear dropouts allows you to adjust the wheelbase and increase tyre clearance up to 53mm.You can use the included dropper seatpost switch to a proprietary D-Fuse seatpost or use a traditional 30.9mm round seatpost. A Contact SL D-Fuse handlebar minimises fatigue by further absorbing shocks and vibrations. Key Performance Factors Smooth control Lightweight aluminium frameset is designed specifically for front suspension. With 40mm of travel the fork absorbs impacts so you can ride smoother and faster over rugged gravel and dirt. Tuned compliance Lowered seatstays with smaller diameter tubes absorb road shocks and vibrations. A Contact SL XR D-Fuse handlebar adds more compliance without sacrificing the stiffness needed for cornering sprinting or climbing. Adaptable to the terrain A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase: short for quicker handling or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting also allows for larger diameter tyres up to 53mm. You can use the included dropper/suspension seatpost for added capabilities or switch to a proprietary D-Fuse seatpost or traditional 30.9mm round seatpost. ALUXX Aluminium Technology This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles. D-Fuse Technology The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther faster. Flip Chip – Dropout Allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry and rear-wheel tire clearance with eccentric offset two-position hardware in the rear wheel dropouts. OverDrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance the system’s oversized headset bearings 1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. Tubeless System Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
