FEATURES:
- The Maestro rear suspension eats up enduro terrain with 165mm of smooth, active rear travel matched with a 190mm travel fork. The trunnion-mount rear shock has a longer stroke (65mm over 60mm on the previous generation) while the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall frame weight.
- The new flip-chip feature lets you adjust frame geometry depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.1 or 63.5-degree head angle and a corresponding 77.9 or 78.3-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 25 or 19-mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for varying trail conditions and riding style.
- A 29-inch front wheel provides speed, stability, and front-end control on rough, technical trails. A 27.5-inch rear wheel adds agility and maneuverability to help riders rail corners, pop over features and show off their style.
- Lightweight, stiff, and super-strong ALUXX SL frameset paired with Giant's latest Maestro rear suspension. The frameset is optimized for its mixed-wheel setup, with a 27.5-inch rear and 29-inch front.
- A plush suspension system with 165mm in the rear and a 190mm triple crown fork up front allows you to send it on the roughest descents.
- Adjust frame geometry with a flip chip that lets you switch the head tube and seat tube angles, along with bottom bracket drop, to dial in the handling for your riding style and terrain.
- A new integrated down tube storage feature provides convenient carrying capacity for on-trail essentials.
