Key Performance Factors

TRAIL-FRIENDLY CONTROL

Refined trail geometry with a slacker head tube and higher stack creates a stable, confident ride position. The new Contact Switch AT dropper post and long-post compatibility (up to 200mm) gives you room to move on descents. A wide-range 1X drivetrain, powerful 4-piston brakes, and tubeless tires deliver simple shifting, precise speed control and planted traction—so you don’t just ride the trail, you master it.

TRAIL-TUNED SUSPENSION

Re-engineered FlexPoint rear suspension with a Crest FloTrac TR shock delivers active, consistent performance through 130mm of travel. The single-pivot system boasts the lowest rear-triangle deformation in its class, while new kinematics with tailored shock spring curve deliver a more linear wheel path. The result is a smooth, predictable feel with unbeatable traction and mid-stroke support. Up front, the dual-air Giant STL 34 suspension fork smooths out rocks and roots. And our Unified Suspension Setup makes it easy to dial-in the settings.

INTEGRATED CHASSIS

A new hydroformed ALUXX aluminum chassis is engineered for strength, stiffness, and low weight. Seamless shock integration enhances frame stiffness and delivers amore connected ride feel. A smooth cockpit-to-frame transition with integrated spacers keeps the front end clean, while flush cable guides help ensure quiet performance. Convertible internal/external routing adds adaptability. The result is a sleek, precise, trail-ready frame that rides as sharp as it looks
