Washboard descents, sketchy dirt, gravel and rocks of all shapes and sizes. You never know what you’ll get on a gravel ride. This new composite gravel machine features a suspension fork and engineered compliance to help you float through all of it with speed and control. The Advanced composite frameset is designed with suspension-optimized geometry and paired with a 40mm travel fork, delivering a smooth, controlled ride quality on rugged gravel and dirt. A flip chip on the rear dropout lets you adjust the wheelbase and increase tire clearance up to 53mm. You can use the included dropper post, switch to a proprietary Giant D-Fuse seatpost for added compliance, or use a standard 30.9mm round seatpost. A Contact SL XR D-Fuse handlebar further minimizes fatigue by absorbing shocks and vibrations.
