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. <div> <div> 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. <strong>FEATURES:</strong> <ul> <li> <strong>Smooth Control:</strong> <span>Composite frameset is designed specifically for front suspension. With 40mm of travel, the fork absorbs bumps and impacts so you can ride smoother and faster over rugged gravel and dirt.</span> </li> <li> <strong>Tuned Compliance:</strong> <span>Lowered seatstays with smaller diameter tubes absorb road shocks and vibrations. A Contact SL XR D-Fuse handlebar adds more compliance without sacrificing the stiffness needed for cornering, sprinting or climbing.</span> </li> <li><span><strong>Adaptable to the Terrain: </strong>A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase: short for quicker handling, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting also allows for larger diameter tires up to 53mm. You can use the included dropper/suspension seatpost for added capabilities, or switch to a proprietary D-Fuse seatpost or traditional 30.9mm round seatpost.</span></li> </ul> <strong>SPECS:</strong> <ul></ul> </div> </div> <div> <strong>Frame</strong> <span>Advanced-Grade Composite, 12x142mm thru-axle, disc, flip chip dropout</span> <strong>Fork</strong> RockShox Rudy XPLR, 40mm, cartridge damper 12x100mm thru-axle<br> <strong>Rims/Wheels</strong> Giant CXR X1 Carbon Disc WheelSystem, [F] 25.8mm, [R] 25.8mm <strong>Hubs</strong> [F] Giant AR alloy, CenterLock, 12mm thru-axle [R] Giant AR alloy, DT350 36t ratchet system, CenterLock, 12mm thru-axle <strong>Spokes</strong> Sapim CX-Ray <strong>Tires</strong> Giant CrossCut Grip 1, 700x45c, tubeless<br> <strong>Crankset</strong> <span>SRAM Rival D1 DUB</span> <strong>Chainrings</strong> 40t <strong>Bottom Bracket</strong> SRAM DUB, press fit<br> <strong>Chain</strong> SRAM PC-1130<br> <td
