ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY Professional-grade frame technology used by Giant’s world champion racers. These frames are handcrafted with the most advanced materials, engineering and construction methods. 1. T-800 Carbon Fiber: This highest grade raw carbon fiber is used to create a proprietary composite frame material that is woven and processed in Giant’s own composite factory.

2. Fusion Process: Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube using filament winding and co-molding. This complex process involves hand weaving the two tubes together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction—resulting in a lighter, stronger junction than with traditional molding. 3. CNT Technology: Carbon Nanotube Technology refers to a microscopic polymer added to Giant’s custom-blended resin*. Acting like miniature buttresses, CNT particles strengthen the layers of composite. Frames featuring CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those without it. 4. Continuous Fiber Technology: This manufacturing process allows Giant to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL bicycles* with larger, and therefore fewer, sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, the frames are up to 100 grams lighter and significantly stronger.
*Found on select 2013 framesets

1. T-700 Carbon Fiber: High-performance raw carbon fiber is used to create this custom composite frame material that is woven and processed in Giant’s own composite factory. 2. Modified Monocoque Construction: The front triangle (downtube, headtube, toptube, seattube) is assembled and molded as one continuous piece. This front half is then joined to the rear chainstays and seatstays in a secondary process. Modified Monocoque Construction eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet to reduce weight without affecting ride quality, strength or stiffness.

THE FUTURE OF ALUMINUM Giant goes beyond the limits of standard aluminum with its own ALUXX Aluminum Technology, a masterful blend of cutting-edge material science and proprietary forming and construction techniques. From the microscopic manipulation of the atomic grain structure to hydro-formed tubesets, Giant has been at the forefront of aluminum engineering for more than three decades. ALUXX Aluminum is the result of these efforts. With Giant’s in-house manufacturing capabilities, each step of the production process can be closely monitored so that every alloy bike meets the tightest tolerances and highest quality standards. Ride Giant’s ALUXX Aluminum Technology and experience the finest aluminum frames available.
ALUXX Aluminum Technology is available in two grades: ALUXX SL • The highest strength-to-weight ratio • State-of-the-art tubeset forming, heat treating and joining techniques ALUXX • Effective strength-to-weight ratio • Tried-and-true materials and construction techniques

THE ALUXX ADVANTAGE 1 STIFF AND LIGHT
Features: Formed from raw materials in Giant’s own forging facility, ALUXX SL proprietary alloy is 30 percent stiffer than traditional 6061 series aluminum. The increased stiffness allows engineers to use less material throughout the tubes, which results in lighter frames that never sacrifice strength or durability. Benefit: Riders can experience lighter and stiffer frames without sacrificing strength.
2 PERFECTLY TUNED RIDE
Features: Raw ALUXX SL tubesets are further refined through a complex series of processes that increase strength (extrusion), reduce weight (butting) and optimize frame shapes (forming). Two key Giant technologies—FluidForming and press-forming—work together to eliminate gussets, improve stiffness and minimize weight. Benefit: With advanced tubeset manipulation, Giant can improve the overall riding characteristics of the bike, adding stability where it is needed and removing material where it is not.
3 GUSSET-FREE DESIGN
Features: Many manufacturers use old-fashioned gussets, additional pieces of material welded to the outside of tube junctions, for additional support. Giant pioneered and perfected the use of radically shaped tubesets with all the strength and stability of gusseted tubes—but no added material or welds. Benefit: Stronger, lighter frames with smoother lines and fewer junctions are made possible by Giant’s advanced alloy manipulation capabilities.
ENGINEERING A BETTER WHEEL Giant WheelSystems are the result of a holistic effort to create the best-performing wheels for every rider in all types of conditions. The design philosophy is called System Engineered Performance. It’s an evolution in wheel design and a departure from conventional thinking. Bicycle wheels have traditionally been viewed as an assembly of individual parts. Rims, hubs, spokes and other small parts were produced individually and then assembled to form a wheel. That was the old way of thinking. To create Giant WheelSystems, engineers studied the ways the individual parts of a wheel affect each other. This research pushed Giant to develop wheel components that work together to deliver best-in-class performance. Every rim, spoke and hub has been designed to function as a system to improve overall performance. See page 140 for our complete line of Giant WheelSystems.
SYSTEM ENGINEERED PERFORMANCE HOLISTIC SYSTEM Each individual wheel component complements the others to form an integrated system. PRECISION ENGINEERED Each WheelSystem is precisely designed, engineered and handbuilt to produce best-in-class performance for weight, stiffness, aerodynamics, comfort and control in its designated category. OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE Every WheelSystem is purpose-built to address key performance factors: weight, stiffness, aerodynamics, comfort and control— all to produce a better ride quality.

GIANT WHEELSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY 1 RECTANGULAR LEVERAGE ANGLE
Features: The design and engineering teams studied how wheels reacted under various loads: pedaling, braking and cornering. This resulted in strategic placement of the spokes at a near 90-degree angle between the hub and rim. Benefit: Optimizes rotational stiffness for maximum pedaling power and minimal wheel windup. The overall stiff feel of the WheelSystem also results in more direct braking response for increased traction and control.
2 OPTIMIZED ANCHOR POINT
Features: Today’s drivetrains feature 10 or more gears on the rear cassette, reducing critical space needed to maintain stiffness and strength in the rear wheel. Rethinking the spoke and hub flange on the driveside, the design team cleverly increased the driveside bracing angle nearly 2mm without affecting required gear spacing. Benefit: Boosts lateral stiffness for a stronger, stiffer wheel that tracks more accurately. The result is better cornering and control, especially on rough terrain.
3 PRECISION HUB INTERNALS
Features: To ensure all Giant WheelSystems meet performance and reliability expectations, the design team created proprietary hub shells featuring race-proven Swiss-engineered hub internals. Benefit: Dependable performance in demanding conditions. Plus all hub parts are readily available and serviceable by your local Giant retailer.
4 CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN AND MATERIALS
Features: All Giant WheelSystems feature cutting-edge materials: composite, scandium or high-strength proprietary aluminum alloys that are specifically tuned to complement the complete system. All rim designs are Tubeless Ready or Tubeless Compatible. Benefit: Improved rim strength and stiffness with lower rotational mass. Reliable, lightweight performance to help you ride better.
COMPACT ROAD DESIGN At the heart of every Giant performance road bike is a unique frame design that was originally created to give pro road racers an advantage at major events like the Tour de France. Compact Road Design, introduced in 1997, has stood the test of time, winning countless pro races over the past 15 years and setting the performance benchmark for road riders of all levels. The concept is simple: A toptube that slopes downward from the headtube to the seattube reduces the size of the front and rear triangles. HERE’S HOW THE DESIGN BENEFITS ALL ROAD RIDERS: LIGHTER Compact Road’s most distinctive feature, the downward-sloping toptube, results in smaller front and rear triangles on the frame. Because the triangles are smaller, less material is needed. Less material equals less weight. STIFFER Picture two triangles made from equal diameter tubing. The smaller, more compact triangle uses shorter tubes. The larger triangle requires longer tubes. It’s easy to see which is more structurally sound—the smaller triangle is stiffer, less susceptible to flexing and twisting. And on a performance road frame, stiffer is faster.
SMOOTHER With traditional geometry, builders increase stiffness by using stiffer material. That might help you sprint faster but it also makes for a less comfortable ride. With Compact Road, Giant engineers are able to design frames with just the right amount of vertical compliance. You get a smoother, more comfortable ride. BETTER FIT Because of the sloping toptube and lower standover height, it’s easier for riders of all sizes to get the perfect fit. With greater adjustability and up to six sizes per series, even Giant’s pro athletes, who range from women who are 5 feet tall to men who stand 6-foot5, get a perfect fit with stock-size frames.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE When it comes to bikes and gear, Giant-sponsored XC pros have a big bag of tricks. Riders like Carl Decker of the Giant Factory Off-Road Team are constantly experimenting, looking for any advantage. No two cross-country courses are the same. The very term cross-country, “XC” for short, can mean many different things. For World Cup racers like Fabian Giger of the Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team, whose battlegrounds consist mostly of fast, technical courses designed for great spectating, XC means short, steep climbs, tricky descents, and harrowing man-made obstacles. For Carl, a U.S.-based veteran and two-time Downieville AllMountain World Champion, XC racing is more loosely defined. Carl competes in everything from short-track to marathon to gravity-oriented enduro races. Of all the different cycling disciplines, XC racing has seen the most dizzying evolution of technology over the last decade. Carl played a big role in helping Giant develop 29ers that weren’t just suitable for competition, but that gave athletes an edge. He’s usually the first Giant rider to race Giant’s new 29er technologies, including hardtails and Maestro Suspension bikes like the Anthem X 29er and Trance X 29er. It’s part of every Giant XC rider’s mission to help develop cutting-edge bikes that excel under the various rigors they face week in and week out. That group effort keeps Giant ahead of the pack. It pushes Giant engineers to constantly evolve their designs and give riders the technology to make every lap, every race, a little bit faster than the last one.
MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY From Gravity off-road riding to XC/Race there’s a Giant Maestro Suspension bike to suit every riding style. The standard-setter for modern bicycle suspension, Maestro is the full-suspension platform used on every Giant performance mountain bike. Ranging from 4 to 8 inches of travel, Maestro improves the ride on any type of trail.
1
THREE CORE BENEFITS SET MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY APART FROM THE REST:
2
PEDALING EFFICIENCY: Whether you’re sprinting up a climb or coasting through a rock garden, Maestro Suspension performs consistently under pedaling power and doesn’t compromise efficiency. COMPLETE SUSPENSION ACTIVITY: From high-frequency trail vibrations to heavy-hitting compressions, Maestro Suspension soaks up the full spectrum of trail impacts. TOTAL BRAKE INDEPENDENCE: Even under full braking force, Maestro Suspension remains fully active and reactive.
how it works 1 CONTACT EQUALS CONTROL
Features: Maestro’s linear spring curve allows the rear suspension to feel incredibly sensitive to small bump forces. The floating pivot point keeps the suspension completely active while braking and the rear tire in contact with the ground. Benefit: Better tire contact with the ground improves your control. And the more sensitive your suspension is, the better your acceleration, braking and cornering traction.
2 FOUR, TWO, ONE
Features: Maestro utilizes four strategically positioned pivot points (identified as the four red dots) and two linkages that all work to create a single floating pivot point (identified as the red circle).
3
Benefit: This single floating pivot point improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting pedaling forces that would otherwise create suspension compression (squatting) or pedal kickback (bobbing). Both seriously hinder performance by sapping energy from you and your bike.
3 LIGHT AND STRONG
Features: Maestro-equipped frames feature lightweight co-pivot designs to shed hundreds of grams of unnecessary weight without sacrificing stiffness or strength. Benefit: Lighter is faster—up or down the trail.
