GIANT TUBELESS SYSTEM Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tyres delivers improved efficiency, comfort and control in themost user-friendly and reliable system. POWERCORE A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimetre wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimetres wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside. OVERDRIVE 2 The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tubework in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness. OVERDRIVE Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. RIDESENSE READY This frame comes prepared to accept the Giant RideSense sensor and accompanying hardware. RIDESENSE Giant’s chainstay-integrated, wireless data transmitter. The removable transmitter sends wheel speed and cadence information directly to any ANT+ compatible computer. VARIANT SEATPOST This proprietary seatpost design offers an optimised balance of light weight, superior ride quality and simple adjustment to enhance the total race performance of the TCR road range. VECTOR SEATPOST This full-composite, lightweight and highly aerodynamic seatpost is engineered specifically for performance road riding. YOUTH-SPECIFIC COMPACT GEOMETRY Low standover height offers added confidence and control for smaller riders, and a compact frame shape minimises weight without sacrificing strength and stiffness. POWER PRO ADual-sided powermetre thatmeasures a rider’s pedalling output inwatts, delivering accurate informationwith an integrated systemthat is precise, reliable and easy to set up. HOOKLESS RIM DESIGN Hookless rim design enhances overall durability, offers a wider inner rim width without adding extra weight and also helps create a more round tyre shape providing superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering. Additionally, without the rim hook to “push” the tyre bead inward, hookless rimdesign offers amore seamless airflow between the tyre and the sidewall of the rim, resulting in less drag and improved aero performancewhen compared to standard hook-type rims.
