ALUXX SL Aluminum Technology
The state-of-the-art aluminum material is made primarily from 6011 alloy and provides a best-in-class strength-to-weight ratio. The frameset was created using a unique welding technology with a focus on performance riding style.

Giant Tubeless System
Fewer flats. Better tire grip. Less rolling resistance, more comfortable and faster ride. With Giant's tubeless system, you can enjoy all these benefits. The rims come with tubeless tape and valves from the factory, so all you have to do is apply sealant and your wheels are fully ready for tubeless.

Advanced Forged Composite Technology
The rear suspension arm is made from a single piece of carbon composite. The essence of the advanced technology is the multi-directional placement of carbon fibers and an innovative manufacturing process of extremely high pressure molding. The resulting product is both lighter and stiffer and stronger than the same product made from aluminum.

Overdrive
The oversize front fork post technology is designed to increase the stiffness of the front of the frameset and steering for precise bike handling. It includes oversize headset bearings (lower 1 1/4" and upper 1 1/8" on road bikes and lower 1 1/2" and upper 1 1/8" on MTB bikes) and a tapered fork post for optimal steering stiffness.

Maestro Suspension
Four strategically placed pivots and two wishbones combine to create one virtual (floating) center of rotation for the rear structure. This neutralises the effect of the rear brake and makes the system fully active and highly responsive to all types of bumps, without unwanted swaying when pedalling.

Flip Chip - Maestro 3
The new 3-position flip chip (low/mid/high positions) allows you to fine-tune the geometry of the bike to suit the terrain, riding style and also the size of the rear wheel, which can be 29" or 27.5". The eccentric inserts located in the upper wishbone of the Maestro suspension serve this purpose. To adjust to the low and high positions, the inserts rotate, to adjust to the "neutral" position, the low/high inserts are swapped with the center position inserts. Changing the position of the flip chip mainly affects the angle of the head tube and seat tube and will also affect the height of the centre of the pedal (BB drop).
