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.
highlights
Newly integrated components including the Contact AeroLight stem create a sleeker, more aero profile. The Variant seatpost adds just enough compliance for a balanced, race-tuned feel on the road, while generous tyre clearance (up to 33mm) and compliant wheels keep you rolling with speed on smooth or bumpy roads.

size guide and geometry
This size guide is based on your body height. Sizing to be used as a reference only. Please check with a local authorized Giant dealer to determine the correct size.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
SYSTEM OPTIMISATION
The frameset, wheels, cockpit and other parts were engineered, developed and tested together to perform as a system. The all-new Contact AeroLight stem allows for cable routing that integrates the top cap, cables and spacers in a more aerodynamic, user-friendly setup.
WINNING EFFICIENCY
Featuring a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation, along with new aero tube shaping and a lighter overall weight, this uncompromising race bike delivers explosive acceleration and unyielding pedalling stiffness. The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count.
INTEGRATED AERODYNAMICS
All tube shapes were engineered and developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling and wind-tunnel testing. From the truncated ellipse shape of frameset tubing to a new cockpit design and component integration, it all adds up to a more streamlined profile that improves overall aero performance compared to the previous generation.

weight
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
