THIS PRO-LEVEL, FULLY COMPOSITE XC FLYER BLENDS TRAIL-SMOOTHING MAESTRO SUSPENSION WITH THE ADDED CONTROL AND STABILITY OF PROGRESSIVE 29ER GEOMETRY. WHEN XC RACING IS YOUR GAME, THIS IS YOUR TICKET TO THE PODIUM.

Engineered with a full composite frameset including the front triangle and rear swingarm, this 29er has 90mm of smooth rear suspension travel and 100mm up front. The Maestro rear suspension system includes a trunnion mount shock that produces a lower leverage ratio for efficient pedaling and braking performance. The innovative linkage makes room for shorter chainstays to improve climbing capabilities and overall agility. The Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm is lighter, stiffer and stronger than aluminum, and other updates include wider Boost hub spacing and an integrated Giant WheelSystem that gives you super strong and stiff wheels for confident, precise handling on XC terrain.

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.
