With a redesigned frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs*, and a 1x drivetrain*, this aluminum hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. 123456789 1× ALUXX ALUMINUM Formed from raw material in Giant’s own forging facility, this proprietary alloy is 30 percent stiffer than traditional 6061-series aluminum, while reducing overall weight. 2× INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING Derailleur, brake and dropper post cables are routed internally through integrated ports. This helps saves weight and creates a cleaner look and performance. 3× DROPPER POST COMPATIBLE* 30.9mm seat tube diameter and clean internal cable routing allow for easy dropper seatpost upgrade. 4× ALIGNED SEATSTAY JUNCTION The rear triangle is designed with seatstays that join the seat tube at the same point as the top tube, forming a unified connection. This clever alignment helps improve rear end stiffness while reducing overall frame weight, leading to a more efficient, lighter ride. 5× 1X AND 2X COMPATIBLE Frame is designed to work with either a single chainring or double chainring crankset. For 2x setups, either a side-swing or down-swing front derailleur can be used. 6× INTEGRATED MOUNTS Mounts on the seatstays and chainstays make it easy to accessorize with racks, fenders or a KSA 18 kickstand. 7× TAPERED HEAD TUBE The 1.5-inch tapered head tube provides ride stability, especially over rough terrain and tight trail conditions. 8× THRU-AXLE WITH UDH HANGER Lock in that rock-solid feel with the durable 12x142mm thru-axle, paired with a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for smooth shifting and added durability. 9× CHAINSTAY PROTECTION An all-new chainstay protector features an integrated design with fixed cable routing, absorbing chain slap to reduce noise and protect your bike’s frame and finish from damage when encountering rough terrai Techs & Features Sizing Guide and Geometry Sizing to be used as a reference only.
