DISCOVER

LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON EFFICIENCY

The Advanced-grade composite hardtail frame delivers a stiff, responsive platform that accelerates quickly and climbs efficiently. A Boost 12×148mm rear axle and press-fit bottom bracket improve power transfer, so more of your effort goes straight into forward speed.

STABLE, PRECISE XC HANDLING

Modern XC geometry with a 69.5–70° head tube angle, 760mm wide bar, and quality hydraulic disc brakes gives you confident control on descents and technical sections. The Giant Crest 34 RRL fork and balanced chassis keep the bike composed when the trail gets rough.

FAST-ROLLING 29ER PERFORMANCE

Optimized around 29-inch wheels, the XTC Advanced 29 3 carries speed over roots, rocks, and rough terrain. Short 425mm chainstays and a dialed cockpit position strike the right balance between stability at speed and agility in tight singletrack.
