The aluminum xc hardtail xtc slr 29 is a more affordable alternative to the carbon xtc advanced 29 models. It is designed to provide you with a great balance of high efficiency and excellent handling, which is the right combination for performance and competitive cross-country riding.

The XTC SLR frame is the lightest aluminum MTB frame we've ever made, thanks to premium ALUXX SLR alloy and an advanced thinning process—ALUXX SLR tubes are 20% thinner (and therefore lighter) than ALUXX SL tubes. By combining top-quality materials with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, we are able to produce frames that are exceptionally light yet highly rigid and strong.

ALUXX SLR aluminum frame We primarily use high-quality 6011 series aluminum alloy to manufacture our ultra-lightweight ALUXX SLR frames. Thanks to a combination of premium materials, state-of-the-art aluminum processing technology, and an advanced thinning process, ALUXX SLR tubes are 20% thinner (and therefore lighter) than ALUXX SL tubes. ALUXX SLR frames offer the best strength-to-weight ratio of any Giant aluminum frame.
	OverDrive The oversized front fork steerer tube is designed to increase the stiffness of the front end of the frame set and steering for precise bike control. It features oversized headset bearings (1 1/4" bottom and 1 1/8" top for road bikes, and 1 1/2" bottom and 1 1/8" top for MTB bikes) and a tapered steerer tube for optimal steering stiffness.
Giant Tubeless System Fewer flats. Better tire grip. Less rolling resistance, more comfortable and faster riding. With Giant's tubeless system, you can enjoy all these benefits. The rims come with tubeless tape and valves already installed, so all you need to do is apply sealant and your wheels are ready for tubeless riding.

The ALUXX SLR aluminum frame is designed and engineered to offer unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio in its class, resulting in high pedaling efficiency and precise handling in all conditions. The specific race-tuned frame geometry offers the ideal balance of stability and handling on virtually any XC terrain. The Giant Crest 34 RRL air fork provides 100 mm of travel and is equipped with handlebar lockout. For better riding characteristics and a lower risk of punctures, Giant XCT 29 wheels come factory-ready for tubeless use; all you need to do is apply sealant. For greater confidence on descents and technical sections, the higher of the two models offered is equipped with a dropper seatpost, and of course, a dropper seatpost can be retrofitted to the lower model.
