Turn up the heat on challenging XC terrain. This
full-suspension 29er features cutting-edge Maestro suspension and progressive
geometry to help you crush all singletrack, from smooth and fast to steep and
technical.
With an ALUXX SL aluminum frameset that’s engineered
with 90mm of rear suspension travel and 100mm up front, this smooth-riding 29er
is a master at conquering technical XC terrain. It’s optimized for larger
diameter wheels with an updated Maestro suspension system that’s configured for
a tighter rear triangle. Its progressive frame geometry makes it quicker and
more agile on climbs and descents. A trunnion-mount shock produces a smooth,
supple feel with improved pedaling efficiency, and its Advanced Forged
Composite upper rocker arm is lighter and stronger than aluminum. A lightweight Giant
WheelSystem with Boost technology comes with tubeless tires already set up,
making it easy to experience added efficiency and control on technical terrain.
XC Efficiency: ALUXX SL aluminum frameset is engineered
with lightweight materials and aggressive geometry for faster climbing and
accelerating.
29er speed and stability: Frame geometry and suspension are
optimized for 29-inch wheels to deliver a race-winning combo of speed and
stability on XC terrain.
Traction and control: Updated Maestro Suspension
with an Advanced Forged Composite
rocker arm and trunnion-mount shock delivers smooth suspension performance on
XC climbs, corners and descents.
