Stance

Everything you need to have fun on the trail. Smooth suspension lets you float over rocks, roots and ruts. Confident geometry keeps you in control. And quick-handling 27.5 wheels with high-volume tires give you full control on singletrack terrain.

Key Performance Factors

Modern trail geometry
A slacker head tube angle (65.5 degrees) and steeper seat tube angle (76.5 degrees) place the rider in a confident, balanced position to take on technical climbs and descents.

Proven suspension setup
FlexPoint rear suspension offers 125mm of smooth, active travel. The frame is paired with a 140mm fork, delivering maximum confidence on climbs and descents.

Lightweight aluminum frame
The ALUXX aluminum frameset is hand-built and engineered in-house by the world leader in alloy bicycle technology. An external storage space makes it easy to carry tools, snacks and other ride essentials.

Highlights

The lightweight and durable ALUXX aluminum frame features Giant’s FlexPoint rear suspension system for a smooth, balanced ride that keeps you in control. It now provides 125mm of plush rear suspension travel and 140mm up front. Combine that with the added maneuverability of 27.5-inch wheels and you get a rip-roaring ride on descents and tight terrain. A slacker head tube angle and steeper seat angle place the rider in a confident, balanced position to take on technical climbs and descents.

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.

Flexpoint Suspension
A proven single-pivot design uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 125mm of rear-wheel travel.

OverDrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 ½” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering performance.

PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated, 92mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and increased stability on the non-driveside.

Giant Tubeless System
Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tires deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.

Tech & Features

ALUXX Aluminum 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.

FlexPoint Suspension Technology
A proven “single-pivot” design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/120mm of rear travel.

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.

PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
