GRAVEL CRUSHER
Now lighter, smoother and more adaptable to variable conditions and terrain, this reengineered composite gravel bike combines ultra-efficient performance with next-level handling and control.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
FAST AND VERSATILE
Lightweight Advanced-grade composite frame and Advanced SL composite fork combine for race-winning efficiency and smooth control. A two-position flip chip on the rear dropout lets you adjust the wheelbase: short for quicker handling, or long for added tire clearance (up to 53mm) and improved stability. You can use the included D-Fuse seatpost for more flex and compliance, or switch to a traditional 30.9mm round seatpost or dropper post.
TUNED COMPLIANCE
Dropped seatstays with small-diameter tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations on all types of gravel. The Contact SLR XR D-Fuse carbon handlebar and D-Fuse SLR seatpost help smooth out rough tracks, improving control and minimizing fatigue over long distances.
SMART INTEGRATION
Internally routed cables offer clean, uncluttered cockpit aesthetics and improved aero performance. An easily accessed storage compartment inside the top tube lets you securely carry tools, snacks and other essentials. And additional integrated mounts on the top tube, fork and rear dropout make it easy to modify with additional packs or fenders. All-new, molded, chainstay and down tube protection help defend the frame against impacts and quell noise.
TECHS & FEATURES:
ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY
Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
COMPACT ROAD DESIGN
Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
D-FUSE TECHNOLOGY
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.
FLIP CHIP - DROPOUT
Allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry and rear-wheel tire clearance with eccentric, offset two-position hardware in the rear wheel dropouts.
MEGADRIVE
A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
OVERDRIVE
Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
POWERCORE
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
TUBELESS SYSTEM
Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
