Description
Description
This super lightweight XC carbon bike was developed to help Giant pro Alan Hatherly win the XCO World Championship 2025 for Elite men. It features a semi-integrated 120 mm FlexPoint Pro rear suspension system and a flip chip to adjust the geometry for any race course or XC terrain.
FULL CONTROL
The new FlexPoint Pro suspension offers 120 mm of smooth, active rear travel, paired with a 120 mm fork – allowing you to tackle difficult descents and technical climbs with power. With a flip chip, you can fine-tune the handling for all types of XC terrain. The super lightweight Giant WheelSystems made from carbon or aluminium (depending on the model) features a state-of-the-art 120-tooth ratchet drive system for instant power transfer and robust 5 mm rim walls for better protection against impacts and punctures.
LOW-LATENCY SPEED CONCEPT
The completely redesigned carbon frame is 89 grams lighter than its predecessor and has a 7.95 percent better stiffness-to-weight ratio (efficiency), giving you more power uphill and making every watt count. The WheelSystems and the integrated handlebar/stem units are designed for maximum efficiency and immediate response to rider inputs. The rear shock has been repositioned and partially integrated into the top tube, saving weight and creating space for a second bottle cage.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
A new integrated handlebar/stem unit provides more flexibility to reduce shocks and vibrations, improving control and comfort for the hands. It is available in two models: Contact SLR XC Integrated Carbon and Contact SL XC Integrated Aluminium. Both have the same seamless cable routing and are available in various sizes with a standard width of 780 mm and stem lengths from 50 to 90 mm.
