Technologies and Features

Giant optimized reinforced layup places extra maximum-strength carbon fiber only where needed, creating a robust structure at minimal weight.

The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost damps vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.

Developed as a superlight rear suspension setup for XC bikes that demand efficiency, control and responsive handling, FlexPoint Pro is a linkage-driven, single-pivot system that delivers 100mm of rear-wheel travel. It’s engineered with a full-composite swingarm that significantly reduces overall frame weight.

This all-new technology allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry and choose a rear wheel size (29-inch or 27.5-inch) for their riding style and terrain. It’s available on select Maestro-equipped mountain bikes. The adjustment affects head tube and seat tube angles, bottom bracket height, and rear-wheel size using eccentric flip chip hardware located on the upper rocker arm of the rear suspension.

A quick and simple adjustment on the new Glory Advanced lets you fine tune your bike for the way you ride. A two-position flip chip located on the rear dropout changes the rear-center measurement so racers can get the best performance out of the bike depending on their riding style and terrain.

This new three-position flip chip at the headset area of the Glory Advanced lets riders quickly fine-tune cockpit dimensions and geometry for their riding style and terrain.

Found inside the head tube of the Defy, Propel and TCR ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

The integrated vector seatpost saves weight compared to standard composite posts, while improving aerodynamics and adding road-smoothing compliance.

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.

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.

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.

More compact compared to a traditional road cycling pad to provide freedom of movement on transitions from road to off-road.

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.

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.

When engagement force was applied to determine how many cycles a hub can withstand before showing signs of significant wear, the TRX HE hub was five times more durable compared to benchmark competitors.

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.

With 3D multi-density memory foam for perineal and ischial protection, lateral shaped wings that adapt to body movement, and elastic micro-fiber performance fabric for maximum moisture transfer, The ELITECOMFOR™ chamois gives elite riders maximum performance.

• TOP INTERFACE LAYER Elastic micro-fiber with high memory padding is strategically positioned at key contact points.

• MID INSERT LAYER Calibrated to give maximum protection to the perineal and ischial areas, it reaches a maximum density of 120 kg/m³.

• BASE LAYER Soft and flexible lateral-shaped wings follow body movements and help give a smooth pedal stroke.

ShieldTextura fabric is specially engineered with high density fish-scale pattern knitting for an authentic look and soft feel with enhanced abrasion resistance and toughness.

The Berenis Mustang chamois adapts high density PRO EVO foam to offer extra protection on long, intense rides.

• TOP INTERFACE LAYER Featuring BRS Berenis Premio ECO fabric, a superfine polyamide technofiber with hydrophilic features; super soft to the touch with enhanced moisture management and quick drying properties.

• MID INSERT LAYERReticulated PRO EVO foams feature hydrophobic treatment and high-lift capacity with high foam density for extra protection on long rides.

• BASE LAYER The perforated foam base layer provides maximum breathability and moisture wicking.

Berenis Core Evo chamois features a wide shape, 3D wing design and a gradual transition between foam levels for increased comfort for more riders everywhere.

• TOP INTERFACE LAYER Touch Evo fabric with micro longitudinal channels is soft, elastic, and has high abrasion resistance. A unique micro structure also makes it moisture wicking and quick drying.

• MID INSERT LAYER Medium density and high lift capacity foam insert to ensure maximum comfort.

• BASE LAYER Perforated foam base layer provides maximum breathability and moisture wicking.
