E-Bike Technologies & Features
The updated RideControl App expands the existing customization options for your SyncDrive motor. Now you choose exactly how you want the system to perform. You can use the app to adjust from the battery-saving Eco mode all the way up to Power mode, and collect all relevant ride metrics during your activity.
RideControl Charge combines all functions in one device. It displays the EnergyPak capacity, which power assist mode is being used, and speed or total distance. Its sleek design provides an ergonomic, handlebar-mounted control center so that the support levels can be accessed easily and comfortably. RideControl Charge also offers convenient charging with its user-friendly USB charger. And now Giant E-bikes can be wheeled along more easily with our new Walk-Assist function.
RideControl EVO represents state-of-the-art design and aesthetics. Clean, rounded corners give it an elegant look and feel. And with its aluminum housing, the RideControl EVO is more shockproof and durable, even on rough terrain. The RideControl EVO can be connected with Bluetooth by our dealers and offers USB charging possibilities. The Bluetooth connectivity makes sure the RideControl can be updated—meaning you’ll always be up to date with the latest software technology.
For our E-bikes equipped with RideControl One ANT+ or with Smart Gateway technology, the RideDash Plus unit can be used as an additional display. It shows important information including range, battery level and support mode along with standard cycling data like speed, distance and trip information. The RideDash Plus offers a larger screen and more modern design compared to the RideDash.
This updated motor features a magnesium casing that reduces weight to just 2.5kg while still delivering 85Nm of torque and retaining the instant engagement that characterizes SyncDrive Pro motors. It’s also engineered for a reduced noise level and quiet performance. The motor shape and dimensions allow for a narrow Q factor to ensure a natural pedaling position with minimal strain on the knees.
The Giant SyncDrive Life is the ideal solution for E-bikes with low step-through frames. This compact, mid-drive motor ensures perfect weight distribution, which makes the E-bike more stable and balanced. Centralized mass leads to a natural weight balance while riding and while stopped. SyncDrive Life helps you ride with comfort and freedom, delivering a maximum 60Nm (Newton Meters) of torque with proven performance and reliability.
This rear hub motor delivers up to 30Nm of pedal assistance in a lightweight, quiet system. It features 3 support levels (Power, Active, Eco) to help riders climb hills with less effort. It also features Smart Assist technology, which uses five sensors to determine the exact amount of pedaling support needed for a smooth, natural riding experience.
Gear Technologies & Features

Since its introduction in 2015, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) has been the cornerstone of Giant WheelSystems. DBL ensures that spokes are set for optimal tension when under dynamic load, resulting in enhanced durability and pedaling efficiency. The enlarged DBL hub flange also increases the spoke bracing angles, which boosts overall torsional/transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer and more stable sprinting.
Cycling gear that functions best while in motion. That’s the idea behind Dynamic Cycling Fit (DCF), an overarching design philosophy that lifts premium new products in Giant’s gear collection to a higher level of performance, fit and comfort.
Giant’s EasyRide Tubeless (ERT) technology is an easy solution for Sport-level riders who ride occasionally for light fitness or go on weekend adventures and are seeking the advantages of tubeless tire without the expensive upgrade or mess. A special integrated liner creates air chamber that functions similar to a tube so it is easier to pump up your tires—think, more user-friendly, value-oriented and safety than performance and speed.
E.I.T Liege features a minimalist shape with only the smoothest top layer of the pad in contact with the rider. The central perennial channel provides stability in the saddle and pressure relief on soft tissue to improve blood flow.
- Male specific according to anthropometrical measurements
- Perforated central insert of 120kg/m3 density, for great breathability and protection
- Elastic Interface ECO Cube fabric: soft microfiber with its distinctive “cube” pattern and improved sweat absorption
- Central channel for improved blood flow and pressure relief
- Ultra-fast drying and featuring anti-odor and antibacterial functions Certified Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex
- 3-layer 3D shape
Featuring multi-directional curvature and a smooth surface, it provides a great fit, enhanced stability and as well as gradual transition areas. The central channel is engineered according to specific anthropometrical parameters that support male anatomy while in saddle, relieving pressure and favoring blood flow.
ExoBeam is a unique sole technology that combines stiffness in the forefoot, where most of a rider’s power is applied, with strategically engineered flex zones that reduce tension and strain in the lower leg by allowing the foot to move in a more natural way. ExoBeam puts the stiffness where it needs to be and allows just enough flex in other areas of the shoe.
ExoWrap works in harmony with the ExoBeam to produce a unique 360-degree foot enclosure for customizable fit and support. While most shoe enclosures simply pull the foot down toward the sole, ExoWrap fully supports the foot by also pulling up.
When your wheel hits a sharp or square edge, especially at speed, pinch flats and rim damage can occur. Wide Guard technology minimizes this risk by broadening the contact point between the rim and tire with a solid 5mm rim sidewall. That means you can skip the heavy tire inserts to have less unsprung weight on your bike and allow your suspension to perform better. The wide sidewalls also better protect your wheel from big impacts, reducing the possibility of rim damage.
Giant uses precision machined internals to eliminate the power loss that occurs through the pressure from the hub internals on the bearings, reducing friction and minimizing rolling resistance.
Motion Efficiency System combines a stiff and efficient pedaling platform with just enough torsional flex to reduce pressure and strain in the lower leg. The result is a more natural foot movement during the pedal stroke to optimize comfort, power transfer and efficiency.
Mips Evolve Core is designed to add protection in helmets against the rotational motion. The rotational motion is a combination of rotational energy (angular velocity) and rotational forces (from angular acceleration) that both affects the brain and increases the risk for minor and severe brain injuries. Mips has been scientifically proven to reduce rotational motion when implemented in a helmet by absorbing and redirecting rotational energies and forces transferred to the brain.
Mips Air Node™ is a super light and slim helmet security system that moves 10-15 mm in relation to the helmet’s energy-absorbing layer, reducing the rotational forces that are otherwise transmitted to the brain during impact. Fully integrated into the helmet’s padding, Mips Air Node™ is as light as possible and designed to fit each individual helmet model and size, making it virtually invisible until needed.
Magnetic Fidlock® helmet buckles are intuitive, pinch-free and can be opened or closed with one hand, even while wearing gloves.
The MIK (Mounting is Key) rack system is a revolutionary key installed rack system that locks your bag to your bike rack, making it hard for thieves to steal but easy for you to remove.
Giant’s free-flowing high-elastic particles are inserted into two separate pockets that mold to each rider’s unique pelvic contact condition to provide further comfort and support. The particles deform more easily under pressure, providing superior comfort and high rebound performance, resulting in reduced pressure points across a broader contact area.
Power training shouldn’t be a mystery to be solved only by the pros with expensive equipment. Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to read, the all-new Power Halo is bringing metric-based training to all riders.
PROCOMFOR™ chamois is designed and constructed by CUORE to give elite racers and serious riders a tailor-made fit.

In collaboration with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Virginia Tech have rated a total of 128 bike helmets using the STAR evaluation system. The bicycle helmet impact tests evaluate a helmet's ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of impacts a cyclist might experience. Helmets with more stars provide a reduction in concussion risk for these impacts compared to helmets with less stars. Read more.
