It started 40 years ago with one goal. Improve the cycling experience for people around the world.

The founders of Giant were craftsmen and engineers. They understood their strengths. How could they make cycling more enjoyable and accessible to more people? Simple: Build better bikes.

Much has changed during Giant’s 40-year journey from being a humble manufacturing company to the world’s leading brand of high-quality bikes and gear. Materials have changed. Technologies have advanced. Bikes we never dreamed of in 1972 are now commonplace.

But through it all, Giant never strayed from that original goal. It’s still about improving the cycling experience with three guiding principles: craftsmanship, innovation and inspiration.

Here’s to another 40 years and beyond.

40 Years. One Goal.

Page 5: Giant International / Europe - 2013 Bicycles Catalgoue

From day one, Giant founder King Liu believed that lighter, faster, more durable bikes could make cycling more fun and more accessible to more people. So Giant set out to change the way bikes were made. The first decade was spent refining the building processes.

Progress happened quickly. Lessons learned in those early years gave Giant its edge. Unlike most other brands, we produced our own frame materials, investing in the ability to forge and shape tubing to meet specific performance demands.

A constant hunger for progress created a culture of craftsmanship. Every bike that went out the door required dozens of experienced hands to bring it to life. Giant’s advantage became expertise.

Even as the company pushed into uncharted waters—stronger and lighter materials, more efficient production, improved quality control—reliability remained a hallmark of the brand. Riders could trust Giant.

Craftsmanship

In 1981 Giant became the first major brand to mass-produce lightweight aluminum frames. Suddenly, more people around the world could experience a ride quality that was previously limited to expensive high-end bikes. Through technology and innovation, we were advancing the bikes people rode, and the way they rode them.

In 1987 Giant followed a similar route with carbon fiber. The Cadex 980 C, constructed with carbon-fiber frame tubes and aluminum lugs, was regarded as the world’s first affordable carbon-fiber road bike. From there, the list of innovations continued.

All Giant technologies are born from collaborations between athletes, engineers and a global team of product developers. The insights and demands of cutting-edge world champions, riders who push the limits of man and machine, benefit us all. Technologies such as lightweight composites, advanced suspension systems and integrated components trickle down, sparking innovations in competition, sport and lifestyle bikes of all types.

Innovation

The most defining development at Giant over the past decade has been a newfound dedication to promoting the cycling lifestyle. From our world headquarters in Taiwan to our sales companies around the world, all the people who make Giant what it is—employees, retail partners, athletes, fans—are empowered through various programs to be ambassadors of the sport.

It starts at the top. King Liu (left) rediscovered the joy of the cycling life in his 70s, and now spends much of his time touring various nations by bike to promote cycling. His long, sometimes arduous journeys spur motivation within the Giant family, and his travels spark dialogue on the positive virtues of the cycling lifestyle.

Our team and athlete partnerships strengthen our connection to the sport. At the Olympics, the Tour de France and other major events around the world, athletes rely on Giant to give them a winning edge.

In return, we are awed by their incredible feats. When Rabobank road rider Robert Gesink wins a dramatic mountain stage, or when Giant Factory Off-Road Team downhiller Danny Hart rockets down a trail to win a world championship, millions around the world are inspired to ride.

With more than 25 years’ experience in carbon fiber engineering, plus a long history of rigorous testing and development with its professional athletes, Giant leads the way in composite bicycle technology. To meet the needs of performance riders—from professionals to enthusiasts—Giant offers three grades of composite technology.

KING OF COMPOSITES

advanced sL composite technoLogy

Professional-grade frame technology used by Giant’s world champion racers. These frames are handcrafted with the most advanced materials, engineering and construction methods.

1. T-800 Carbon Fiber: This highest grade raw carbon fiber is used to create a proprietary composite frame material that is woven and processed in Giant’s own composite factory.

2. Fusion Process: Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube using filament winding and co-molding. This complex process involves hand weaving the two tubes together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction—resulting in a lighter, stronger junction than with traditional molding.

3. CNT Technology: Carbon Nanotube Technology refers to a microscopic polymer added to Giant’s custom-blended resin*. Acting like miniature buttresses, CNT particles strengthen the layers of composite. Frames featuring CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those without it.

4. Continuous Fiber Technology: This manufacturing process allows Giant to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL bicycles* with larger, and therefore fewer, sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, the frames are up to 100 grams lighter and significantly stronger.

*Found on select 2013 framesets

1. T-700 Carbon Fiber: High-performance raw carbon fiber is used to create this custom composite frame material that is woven and processed in Giant’s own composite factory.

2. ModiFied Monocoque Construction: The front triangle (downtube, headtube, toptube, seattube) is assembled and molded as one continuous piece. This front half is then joined to the rear chainstays and seatstays in a secondary process. Modified Monocoque Construction eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet to reduce weight without affecting ride quality, strength or stiffness.

Giant goes beyond the limits of standard aluminum with its own ALUXX Aluminum Technology, a masterful blend of cutting-edge material science and proprietary forming and construction techniques.

From the microscopic manipulation of the atomic grain structure to hydro-formed tubesets, Giant has been at the forefront of aluminum engineering for more than three decades. ALUXX Aluminum is the result of these efforts.

With Giant’s in-house manufacturing capabilities, each step of the production process can be closely monitored so that every alloy bike meets the tightest tolerances and highest quality standards. Ride Giant’s ALUXX Aluminum Technology and experience the finest aluminum frames available.

THE FUTURE OF ALUMINUM

1 STIFF AND LIGHT Features: Formed from raw materials in Giant’s

own forging facility, ALUXX SL proprietary alloy is 30 percent stiffer than traditional 6061 series aluminum. The increased stiffness allows engineers to use less material throughout the tubes, which results in lighter frames that never sacrifice strength or durability.

BeneFit: Riders can experience lighter and stiffer frames without sacrificing strength.

2 PERFECTLY TUNED RIDE Features: Raw ALUXX SL tubesets are further

refined through a complex series of processes that increase strength (extrusion), reduce weight (butting) and optimize frame shapes (forming). Two key Giant technologies—FluidForming and press-forming—work together to eliminate gussets, improve stiffness and minimize weight.

BeneFit: With advanced tubeset manipulation, Giant can improve the overall riding characteristics of the bike, adding stability where it is needed and removing material where it is not.

3 GUSSET-FREE DESIGN Features: Many manufacturers use old-fashioned

gussets, additional pieces of material welded to the outside of tube junctions, for additional support. Giant pioneered and perfected the use of radically shaped tubesets with all the strength and stability of gusseted tubes—but no added material or welds.

BeneFit: Stronger, lighter frames with smoother lines and fewer junctions are made possible by Giant’s advanced alloy manipulation capabilities.

Giant WheelSystems are the result of a holistic effort to create the best-performing wheels for every rider in all types of conditions. The design philosophy is called System Engineered Performance. It’s an evolution in wheel design and a departure from conventional thinking.

Bicycle wheels have traditionally been viewed as an assembly of individual parts. Rims, hubs, spokes and other small parts were produced individually and then assembled to form a wheel.

That was the old way of thinking. To create Giant WheelSystems, engineers studied the ways the individual parts of a wheel affect each other. This research pushed Giant to develop wheel components that work together to deliver best-in-class performance. Every rim, spoke and hub has been designed to function as a system to improve overall performance.

See page 140 for our complete line of Giant WheelSystems.

ENGINEERING A BETTER WHEEL

HOLISTIC SYSTEM Each individual wheel component complements the others to form an integrated system. PRECISION ENGINEEREDEach WheelSystem is precisely designed, engineered and handbuilt to produce best-in-class performance for weight, stiffness, aerodynamics, comfort and control in its designated category. OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCEEvery WheelSystem is purpose-built to address key performance factors: weight, stiffness, aerodynamics, comfort and control— all to produce a better ride quality.

1 RECTANGULAR LEVERAGE ANGLE

Features: The design and engineering

teams studied how wheels reacted under various loads: pedaling, braking and cornering. This resulted in strategic placement of the spokes at a near 90-degree angle between the hub and rim.

BeneFit: Optimizes rotational stiffness for maximum pedaling power and minimal wheel windup. The overall stiff feel of the WheelSystem also results in more direct braking response for increased traction and control.

2 OPTIMIZED ANCHOR POINT

Features: Today’s drivetrains feature

10 or more gears on the rear cassette, reducing critical space needed to maintain stiffness and strength in the rear wheel. Rethinking the spoke and hub flange on the driveside, the design team cleverly increased the driveside bracing angle nearly 2mm without affecting required gear spacing.

BeneFit: Boosts lateral stiffness for a stronger, stiffer wheel that tracks more accurately. The result is better cornering and control, especially on rough terrain.

3 PRECISION HUB INTERNALS

Features: To ensure all Giant

WheelSystems meet performance and reliability expectations, the design team created proprietary hub shells featuring race-proven Swiss-engineered hub internals.

BeneFit: Dependable performance in demanding conditions. Plus all hub parts are readily available and serviceable by your local Giant retailer.

4 CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN AND MATERIALS

Features: All Giant WheelSystems

feature cutting-edge materials: composite, scandium or high-strength proprietary aluminum alloys that are specifically tuned to complement the complete system. All rim designs are Tubeless Ready or Tubeless Compatible.

BeneFit: Improved rim strength and stiffness with lower rotational mass. Reliable, lightweight performance to help you ride better.

Robert Gesink was on a routine training ride a few weeks before the 2011 World Championships when he hit some slippery cobblestones and crashed. The damage: his right femur was broken in four places. Gesink’s career, his entire future, was cast into doubt. Surgeons told him it would be weeks before he would walk again. It would be six months before he could even think about racing.

As it turns out, Gesink rode before he walked. He started on a trainer, and over the cold winter months, when he was pushing himself through the grueling rehabilitation, he set his sights on one particular goal: Mount Baldy, the brutal queen stage of the 2012 Tour of California. The last 5 miles rise 2,200 feet, straight up the peaks that loom over Los Angeles. Just how Gesink likes it.

The day came and Gesink made his move. Riding his TCR Advanced SL, he launched a solo attack. When he crossed the finish line, arms in the air, he was instantly reestablished as one of the best climbers in the pro peloton. For Robert Gesink, who wanted it so badly that he rode before he walked, the sky is the limit.

HERE’S HOW THE DESIGN BENEFiTS ALL ROAD RIDERS:

LIGHTER Compact Road’s most distinctive feature, the downward-sloping toptube, results in smaller front and rear triangles on the frame. Because the triangles are smaller, less material is needed. Less material equals less weight.

STIFFER Picture two triangles made from equal diameter tubing. The smaller, more compact triangle uses shorter tubes. The larger triangle requires longer tubes. It’s easy to see which is more structurally sound—the smaller triangle is stiffer, less susceptible to flexing and twisting. And on a performance road frame, stiffer is faster.

SMOOTHER With traditional geometry, builders increase stiffness by using stiffer material. That might help you sprint faster but it also makes for a less comfortable ride. With Compact Road, Giant engineers are able to design frames with just the right amount of vertical compliance. You get a smoother, more comfortable ride.

BETTER FiT Because of the sloping toptube and lower standover height, it’s easier for riders of all sizes to get the perfect fit. With greater adjustability and up to six sizes per series, even Giant’s pro athletes, who range from women who are 5 feet tall to men who stand 6-foot-5, get a perfect fit with stock-size frames.

WOMEN COMPACT ROAD SIZING

At the heart of every Giant performance road bike is a unique frame design that was originally created to give pro road racers an advantage at major events like the Tour de France. Compact Road Design, introduced in 1997, has stood the test of time, winning countless pro races over the past 15 years and setting the performance benchmark for road riders of all levels.

The concept is simple: A toptube that slopes downward from the headtube to the seattube reduces the size of the front and rear triangles.

tcr advanced sldeveLoped and tested By raBoBanK riders at the WorLd’s most demanding road races. from high peaKs to aLL-out sprints, a pure performer.

Using Advanced SL-grade composite and technical innovations including the OverDrive 2 steerer tube, which boosts front-end stiffness and steering precision, the TCR Advanced SL is the go-to choice for Rabobank pros who need one bike that can do it all. The MegaDrive downtube and PowerCore bottom bracket help boost power transfer and efficiency. The integrated seatpost saves 45 grams, improves aerodynamics and produces a more compliant ride. And the integrated RideSense ANT+ wireless sensor lets you transmit performance data including cadence and speed.

1 OverDrive 2 Giant’s innovative oversized fork steerer tube

technology. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.

2 Integrated Seatpost As the pioneer of the integrated seatpost, Giant

continues to improve its original design with lighter weight (approximately 45 grams of weight savings, compared to a standard composite seatpost), improved aerodynamics and an even greater “tuned” forgiving ride feel. An adjustable saddle clamp offers 10 or 23 millimeters of offset for precise saddle position.

3 Fusion Process Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube

using filament winding and co-molding. This complex

process involves hand weaving the two tubes together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction—resulting in a lighter, stronger junction than with traditional molding.

4 CNT Technology Carbon Nanotube Technology refers to a microscopic

polymer added to Giant’s custom-blended resin. Acting like miniature buttresses, CNT particles strengthen the layers of composite. Frames treated with CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those that aren’t.

5 Continuous Fiber Technology This new manufacturing process allows Giant

to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL bicycles with larger—and therefore fewer—sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, the frames are up to 100 grams lighter and significantly stronger.

6 RideSense Giant’s all-new chainstay integrated, wireless data

transmitter. The fully integrated, removable transmitter sends wheelspeed and cadence information directly to any ANT+ compatible computer.

7 Composite Bottom Bracket Shell

No longer using aluminum inserts, Giant’s all-new composite bottom bracket shells save 15 grams over its alloy-reinforced predecessor. High compression, multi-directional composite ensures long life.

8 Composite Dropouts Free of alloy tips, Giant’s all-new composite fork

and frame dropouts save 15 grams over their predecessors. High compression, multi-directional composite ensures long life—even after repeated clamping.

technology. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.

2 ModiFied Monocoque Construction

Similar to Monocoque technology, but Modified Monocoque eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet (found on heavier framesets) to reduce weight without affecting ride quality, strength or stiffness.

3 PowerCore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

4 MegaDrive A massive rectangular downtube and oversized

toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedaling stiffness.

5 Vector Seatpost This full-composite, lightweight (210 grams)

and highly aerodynamic seatpost is engineered specifically for the unyielding demands of the performance-minded road rider. It offers increased fore/aft stiffness for maximum energy transmission, improved aerodynamics (compared to a traditional round seatpost) and two offset options (10 or 23 millimeters).

6 Tuned Composite Hand-cut composite swatches are strategically laid-

up, piece by piece, to create each frame. The frame’s ride qualities are meticulously crafted and controlled through precise layering of each individual swatch (there are more than 500 pieces per frame) in an exact schedule. The direction of each individual piece’s composite grain allows Giant engineers to custom-tune each frame’s individual ride characteristics.

7 RideSense Giant’s all-new chainstay integrated, wireless data

raBoBanK’s secret Weapon for Long, hard cLassics races. pure race performance meets endurance positioning and comfort.

Handcrafted with Giant’s premium Advanced SL-grade composite material, Defy Advanced SL was developed with input from Rabobank pros for long, grueling classics races and epic road rides. It features more rounded tubes to increase compliance and reduce fatigue. Its oversized and tapered OverDrive 2 steerer tube boosts cornering precision, and its MegaDrive downtube and PowerCore bottom bracket deliver predictable handling and unmatched pedaling efficiency.

1 OverDrive 2 Giant’s all-new oversized fork steerer tube technology.

Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.

2 Integrated Seatpost As the pioneer of the integrated seatpost, Giant

continues to improve its original design with lighter weight (approximately 45 grams of weight savings, compared to a standard composite seatpost), improved aerodynamics and an even greater “tuned” forgiving ride feel. An adjustable saddle clamp offers 10 or 23 millimeters of offset for precise saddle position.

3 Fusion Process Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube

using filament winding and co-molding. This complex process involves hand weaving the two tubes together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction—resulting in a

lighter, stronger junction than with traditional molding.

4 CNT Technology Carbon Nanotube Technology refers to a microscopic

polymer added to Giant’s custom-blended resin. Acting like miniature buttresses, CNT particles strengthen the layers of composite. Frames treated with CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those that aren’t.

5 Continuous Fiber Technology This new manufacturing process allows Giant

to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL bicycles with larger—and therefore fewer—sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, the frames are up to 100 grams lighter and significantly stronger.

6 PowerCore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

7 RideSense Giant’s all-new chainstay integrated, wireless data

transmitter. The fully integrated, removable transmitter sends wheelspeed and cadence information directly to any ANT+ compatible computer.

8 Composite Bottom Bracket Shell

No longer using aluminum inserts, Giant’s all-new composite bottom bracket shells save 15 grams over its alloy-reinforced predecessor. High compression, multi-directional composite ensures long life.

9 Composite Dropouts Free of alloy tips, Giant’s all-new composite fork

and frame dropouts save 15 grams over their predecessors. High compression, multi-directional composite ensures long life—even after repeated clamping.

3 FluidForm Raw ALUXX SL tubesets are further refined through

a complex series of processes that provide strength (extrusion), weight reduction (butting) and shape (forming). Two key Giant technologies—FluidForming and press forming work together to eliminate gussets, improve stiffness and minimize any extra weight.

4 Gusset-Free Design Most of Giant’s competitors use old-fashioned

gussets, additional pieces of material that are welded to the outside of a tube junction to provide additional support. Giant pioneered and perfected the use of radically shaped tubesets that provide all the strength and stability of gusseted tubes without added material and welds.

5 ALUXX SL Aluminum Formed from raw materials in Giant’s own forging

facility, this proprietary alloy features 30 percent additional stiffness over traditional 6061-series aluminum. The increased stiffness allows engineers to use less material throughout the tubes, which results in lighter frames that never sacrifice strength or durability.

In a cycling discipline where you must expect the unexpected, where conditions range from autumn heat to sub-zero winter temperatures, and where tires rip across road, dirt, sand and snow, consistency seems nearly impossible.

In cyclocross, everything changes. One minute you’re elbowing and fighting for the inside line. The next you’re leaping over barriers, your bike on your shoulder. All this suits Lars van der Haar just fine. Ask him what courses, conditions or weather he prefers, and he shrugs and says he likes them all.

But ask Lars about his bike, and he becomes very serious. Despite his calm, unassuming nature, he has strong opinions about his racing machines. He knows exactly what he wants.

Since Lars began racing on the TCX Advanced SL three years ago he has won every title put in front of him. In the Under-23 ranks he already has two World Championships, two European Championships, and is undefeated in the Dutch National Championships. He won more than 20 races during the 2011-12 season.

Any course, any type of weather, all conditions. But only one bike.

tcx advanced sl54

chaotic starts and screaming fans. mud, snoW, sand and ice. raBoBanK pros face it aLL at WorLd cup cross races. here’s hoW they handLe it.

The TCX Advanced SL was developed with one goal: to win. It has earned rainbow stripes, national titles and bragging rights in all kinds of conditions. The Advanced SL-grade composite frame is built with cyclocross-specific geometry, including a high top tube for easier shouldering and plenty of clearance for larger tires and muddy conditions. The integrated seatpost reduces weight and gives it a smooth, compliant ride quality. Giant’s OverDrive steerer tube technology delivers precision steering, and the MegaDrive downtube and toptube produce sharp handling and efficiency.

1 OverDrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube

technology. Designed to provide solid front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

2 Integrated Seatpost As the pioneer of the integrated seatpost, Giant

continues to improve its original design with lighter weight (approximately 45 grams of weight savings, compared to a standard composite seatpost), improved aerodynamics and an even greater “tuned” forgiving ride feel. An adjustable saddle clamp offers 10 or 23 millimeters of offset for precise saddle position.

3 Fusion Process Advanced SL toptubes are “grafted” to the seattube

using filament winding and co-molding. This complex process involves hand weaving the two tubes together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction—resulting in a lighter, stronger junction than with traditional molding.

4 PowerCore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

5 Increased Rear Wheel Clearance

Helps shed dirt and mud so the goop remains on the trail, not on your bike.

6 ’Cross-SpeciFic Tubing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to create

tube shapes that enhance the performance and ride quality for cyclocross racing. Most tube diameters are smaller, creating a more compliant, ride-tuned bike that “flows” through tight corners and constantly changing terrain. Other touches include a flattened and smoother toptube shape for easier shouldering.

7 Internal Cable Routing Frame features unique internal cable porting for sleek,

non-cluttered appearance and performance.

When it comes to bikes and gear, Giant-sponsored XC pros have a big bag of tricks. Riders like Carl Decker of the Giant Factory Off-Road Team are constantly experimenting, looking for any advantage.

No two cross-country courses are the same. The very term cross-country, “XC” for short, can mean many different things. For World Cup racers like Fabian Giger of the Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team, whose battlegrounds consist mostly of fast, technical courses designed for great spectating, XC means short, steep climbs, tricky descents, and harrowing man-made obstacles.

For Carl, a U.S.-based veteran and two-time Downieville All-Mountain World Champion, XC racing is more loosely defined. Carl competes in everything from short-track to marathon to gravity-oriented enduro races.

Of all the different cycling disciplines, XC racing has seen the most dizzying evolution of technology over the last decade. Carl played a big role in helping Giant develop 29ers that weren’t just suitable for competition, but that gave athletes an edge. He’s usually the first Giant rider to race Giant’s new 29er technologies, including hardtails and Maestro Suspension bikes like the Anthem X 29er and Trance X 29er.

It’s part of every Giant XC rider’s mission to help develop cutting-edge bikes that excel under the various rigors they face week in and week out. That group effort keeps Giant ahead of the pack. It pushes Giant engineers to constantly evolve their designs and give riders the technology to make every lap, every race, a little bit faster than the last one.

From Gravity off-road riding to XC/Race there’s a Giant Maestro Suspension bike to suit every riding style. The standard-setter for modern bicycle suspension, Maestro is the full-suspension platform used on every Giant performance mountain bike. Ranging from 4 to 8 inches of travel, Maestro improves the ride on any type of trail.

MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY

THREE CORE BENEFiTS SET MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY APART FROM THE REST:

PEDALING EFFiCIENCY: Whether you’re sprinting up a climb or coasting through a rock garden, Maestro Suspension performs consistently under pedaling power and doesn’t compromise efficiency. COMPLETE SUSPENSION ACTIVITY: From high-frequency trail vibrations to heavy-hitting compressions, Maestro Suspension soaks up the full spectrum of trail impacts. TOTAL BRAKE INDEPENDENCE:Even under full braking force, Maestro Suspension remains fully active and reactive.

1 CONTACT EQUALS CONTROL Features: Maestro’s linear spring curve allows the rear suspension to feel incredibly sensitive to

small bump forces. The floating pivot point keeps the suspension completely active while braking and the rear tire in contact with the ground.

BeneFit: Better tire contact with the ground improves your control. And the more sensitive your suspension is, the better your acceleration, braking and cornering traction.

2 FOUR, TWO, ONE Features: Maestro utilizes four strategically positioned pivot points (identified as the four red dots)

and two linkages that all work to create a single floating pivot point (identified as the red circle).

BeneFit: This single floating pivot point improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting pedaling forces that would otherwise create suspension compression (squatting) or pedal kickback (bobbing). Both seriously hinder performance by sapping energy from you and your bike.

3 LIGHT AND STRONG Features: Maestro-equipped frames feature lightweight co-pivot designs to shed hundreds of

grams of unnecessary weight without sacrificing stiffness or strength.

BeneFit: Lighter is faster—up or down the trail.

2 PowerCore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

3 MegaDrive A massive rectangular downtube and oversized

toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedaling stiffness.

4 29er-SpeciFic Geometry Every Giant 29er features big-wheel adjusted

geometry to provide just the right blend of sharp handling with a forgiving and stable wheelbase.

5 Perfect Pivots Four strategically positioned pivot points and two

linkages create a single floating pivot point. This improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting the pedaling forces that produce suspension compression or pedal kickback.

6 Lightweight Suspension The innovative co-pivot design saves considerable

weight with the use of one axle to connect both the lower link and the lower shock mount to the front triangle.

7 Maestro Activity Maestro’s linear spring curve allows the rear

suspension to be incredibly sensitive to small bump forces. And the floating pivot point actually lets the suspension remain completely active while braking, which keeps the rear tire in almost constant contact with the ground.

8 Dropper Seatpost Cable Routing

Minimal guides provide clean routing of hydraulic or mechanically activated dropper seatpost lines.

9 Internal Cable Routing Frame features unique internal cable porting for sleek,

non-cluttered appearance and performance.

1 OverDrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube

technology. Designed to provide solid front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

2 FluidForm Raw ALUXX SL tubesets are further refined through

a complex series of processes that provide strength (extrusion), weight reduction (butting) and shape (forming). Two key Giant technologies—FluidForming and press forming—work together to eliminate gussets, improve stiffness and minimize any extra weight.

3 Gusset-Free Design Most of Giant’s competitors use old-fashioned

gussets, additional pieces of material that are welded to the outside of a tube junction to provide additional support. Giant pioneered and perfected the use of radically shaped tubesets that provide all the strength and stability of gusseted tubes without added material and welds.

4 ALUXX SL Aluminum Formed from raw materials in Giant’s own forging

facility, this proprietary alloy features 30 percent additional stiffness over traditional 6061-series aluminum. The increased stiffness allows engineers to use less material throughout the tubes, which results in lighter frames that never sacrifice strength or durability.

5 Perfect Pivots Four strategically positioned pivot points and two

linkages create a single floating pivot point. This improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting the pedaling forces that produce suspension compression or pedal kickback.

6 Maestro Activity Maestro’s linear spring curve allows the rear

suspension to be incredibly sensitive to small bump forces. And the floating pivot point actually lets the suspension remain completely active while braking, which keeps the rear tire in almost constant contact with the ground.

7 World Champion Geometry Developed, tested and raced by World Champion

Danny Hart, the 2013 Glory features reengineered frame geometry, including a 63.5-degree head angle, lower bottom bracket height and longer wheelbase. The ultimate combo for stability and speed.

The 3F design philosophy, which stands for “Fit, Form, Function,” keeps Liv/giant engineers and designers focused on three key characteristics in every bike.

fitLiv/giant bikes are designed specifically for the unique ergonomic needs of women. Custom designs are implemented for bike frames, components and apparel. Examples include frame geometry, specially designed saddles, handlebars and other components, and women’s-specific apparel.

formWhile our engineers determine the key factors of a bike’s performance—frame material, geometry, integration—it’s the designers’ job to boost those less tangible qualities that give it appeal. We aim for beautifully crafted, organic lines and shapes, and stylish colors and graphics.

functionEvery Liv/giant bike is designed to serve the unique needs of women riders for a particular purpose. Performance bikes are developed using feedback from professional racers. Sport bikes are tuned to make every ride zippy yet comfortable. And lifestyle bikes have integrated features such as fenders, racks and baskets.

The Rabobank brand has long been connected to competitive cycling. For more than 17 years, fans have followed the familiar sight of the orange and blue at the Tour de France, the spring classics and other major events around the world.

Last year Rabobank expanded the franchise, establishing for the first time ever a pro women’s team. Fittingly, the team is led by Marianne Vos, the only woman alive to win road, cyclocross and track world championships.

Vos gave the team a grand debut by winning the season’s first World Cup race. Over the coming months she won a handful of other races with the help of her teammates. In its first season of racing, the Rabobank Women’s Team was already a well-oiled machine.

It helps that the team is backed by the most innovative and dedicated engineering and product development team in the world. And the benefits go both ways. Liv/giant counts on all its athletes and ambassadors to help develop bikes and gear for female riders. Their insights and inspiration help guide the brand, keeping it authentic and focused on the things that matter most to female riders.

the completely revamped Avail Composite features many of the same technologies found in pro-level bikes. the frame was created specifically for women riders with Liv/giant’s 3F design philosophy. It’s light and agile for the climbs, and ride-tuned for stability on descents and long days in the saddle. It features giant’s OverDrive steerer tube technology for confident cornering and handling and the PowerCore bottom bracket for optimal power transfer. It’s also RideSense-ready for giant’s wireless ANt+ data system.

1 overdrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide solid

front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

2 poWercore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

3 megadrive A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to

provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedaling stiffness.

4 vector seatpost This full-composite, lightweight (210 grams) and highly aerodynamic seatpost is

engineered specifically for the unyielding demands of the performance-minded road rider. It offers increased fore/aft stiffness for maximum energy transmission, improved aerodynamics (compared to a traditional round seatpost) and two offset options (10 or 23 millimeters).

5 tuned composite Hand-cut composite swatches are strategically laid-up, piece by piece, to create

each frame. The frame’s ride qualities are meticulously crafted and controlled through precise layering of each individual swatch (there are more than 500 pieces per frame) in an exact schedule. The direction of each individual piece’s composite grain allows Giant engineers to custom-tune each frame’s individual ride characteristics.

6 Liv/giant 3f geometry To accommodate the specific geometry needs of the female rider, 3F geometry

features shorter toptubes and slightly taller headtubes.

7 ridesense ready Frame comes prepared to accept the Giant RideSense sensor and accompanying

hardware.

Kelli Emmett’s evolution as an off-road rider parallels the evolution of mountain biking itself over the last decade. She spent the first half of her career chasing XC titles, following the typical routine: train hard, put in the miles, focus on the finish line.

Somewhere along the way, Kelli branched out. In 2007 she won the Singlespeed World Championship, and around the same time started dabbling in Super D. Combining XC fitness with trail skills, courage and speed, Super D was perfect for the trail bikes she loved to ride on the Colorado trails near her home. She rode Trance X, Anthem X, whatever would help her go fast.

Kelli soon became instrumental in the development of women’s off-road bikes. Her latest project is the new Liv/giant Anthem X 29er W, the world’s first women’s-specific full-suspension 29er. Kelli worked with the Liv/giant product team to create the bike, which is well suited to her wide range of riding styles.

“I love it because it has all the benefits of the larger 29-inch wheels plus a lot of design work that makes it perfect for women riders like me,” Kelli said. “It’s something we’ve never had before. It’s faster, but it’s also more fun.”

Pushing the sport forward. Evolving. Having fun. All the reasons Kelli Emmett rides.

Implementing giant’s 3F philosophy (Fit, Form, Function), the Anthem x 29er W was designed for one reason: to bring the performance advantages of larger 29-inch wheels to women. the geometry and component selection of the lightweight ALuxx SL frame is optimized for the female rider. the maestro Suspension soaks up rough terrain and boosts traction. And the frame technologies, including the OverDrive 2* headtube, megaDrive downtube and PowerCore bottom bracket, produce a fast yet stable feel on any xC terrain.

2 poWercore A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay

area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

3 megadrive A massive rectangular downtube and oversized

toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedaling stiffness.

4 29er-specific geometry Every Giant 29er features big-wheel adjusted

geometry to provide just the right blend of sharp handling with a forgiving and stable wheelbase.

5 perfect pivots Four strategically positioned pivot points and two

linkages create a single floating pivot point. This improves pedaling efficiency by counteracting the pedaling forces that produce suspension compression or pedal kickback.

6 LightWeight suspension The innovative co-pivot design saves considerable

weight with the use of one axle to connect both the lower link and the lower shock mount to the front triangle.

Driver Technology16BITGiant uses the highest speed for its hybrid power bikes that processes the most sophisticated software, and provides a smoother, more predictable ride and the highest efficiency.

Sine WaveThe smoothest signal sent to the motor, creates a seamless and quiet motor support.

Isolated Signal ProcessingTorque, speed and motor information are analysed to detect if a signal is from pedal, brake or shift influences to eliminate any influence other then your pedal power

3+ Sensor TechnologyHigh Sensitivity TorqueGiant’s high sensitivity sensor detects the slightest pedal power difference to assure a quick and predictable power support.

SpeedA speed sensor in the wheel is used to constantly regulate the support and keep your ride smoother.

MotorA sensor placed in the motor detects rotation and position. This provides safety by providing additional speed information and increases smoothness due to precision internal alignment of the motor.

Auto CalibrationThe high sensitivity torque sensor is calibrated automatically every time when you stop pedaling. So your pedal power will allways be measured with the greatest accuracy.
