Road

The road goes on forever and the party never ends. When the Stigmata was resurrected in 2015, we fused a number of MTB standards and design features to create our spin on the modern CX bike. Something must have clicked, because within months of launch it raced to victory at the legendary Three Peaks, and has continued to contend at elite cyclocross races around the world. Nowadays, the internally routed disc brakes, generous tire clearance and thru-axles approach that made the Stigmata famous have become more of a norm, so we took a fresh look at which standards the riders of tomorrow wanted access to today. Threaded bottom brackets remain a perennial favourite across our entire line thanks to their proven robust, cost-effective and compatible design. "If it ain't broke…" ...and it never is. Fender mounts add a bit of CYA, and highlight the Stigmata's ever-widening scope of purpose. We added to that with three bottle cage mounts so that the frame can still hold at least one normal bottle even when running a front triangle bag. Deeper adventures, bigger tires perhaps? The frame now clears up to a 45mm 700c or a 2.1" 650b tire. Marry the latter to our Force/X01 AXS mashup kit and you've got yourself the kind of drop-bar singletrack and gravel rallycat we can all get onboard with. And when it comes to good old-fashioned off-road etiquette, the Stigmata's had some coaching at the Highball school of stiffness, handling, and offroad feel. The carbon layup borrows knowledge gained from not just the Highball, but also Danny MacAskill's trials bike, to produce a ride so law-abiding you'd think HR had sent it on a compliance training course. Geometry plays a big part here too, so we've made tweaks to improve handling for smaller riders and reduce toe overlap. The reworking of the 52/54cm frames means the Stigmata now comfortably suits riders from 5'3" and up. Meanwhile different fork offsets—50mm for the 52-54cm sizes, and 45mm for the 56-61cm sizes—help ensure your little piggies don't go to market on the front wheel. Topped off with tidy details like 12mm front axle, flat mount brakes and build-specific Reserve wheel packages, the Stigmata is designed to let you decide whatever the heck you want this category to be.

The Bianchi range of endurance bikes takes the cutting-edge technology used in our racing bikes and gives it a more comfortable geometry so you can put the miles in without compromising comfort.

WHETHER YOU’RE IN IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE CLIMB, THE RUSH OF THE DESCENT, OR THE NEXT PR, THE LANGMA ADVANCED DISC IS READY WITH ITS RE-ENGINEERED LIGHTWEIGHT AERO FRAME AND ALL-NEW GIANT SLR 36 DISC WHEEL SYSTEM (SELECT MODELS) WITH INTEGRATED DISC BRAKES, PLUS CUSTOM LIV SADDLE AND HANDLEBARS FOR POWERFUL FIT AND PERFORMANCE. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Accelerate faster The heart of the Langma Advanced is a super-light Advanced-Grade Composite frameset, delivering a powerful stiffness-to-weight ratio for explosive acceleration. Updated truncated ellipse tubing reduces wind drag and boosts sprinting efficiency. Better handling Integrated, flat-mount disc brakes deliver the confidence to carry speed into corners and navigate variable weather conditions. The Langma also accommodates tires up to 32mm, so you can customize your set-up for the road ahead. Vibration canceling The tubeless Giant SLR 36 Disc WheelSystem (select models) reduces drag, while the adjustable Variant Composite Seatpost provides superior compliance, so you get a responsive ride that practically skims over rough roads. TECHS & FEATURES: ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY Liv’s High-Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this frameset in our own composite factory. Using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques, Liv’s Advanced-Grade Composite frames are designed to offer lightweight and stiffness with optimal compliance. COMPACT ROAD DESIGN When introduced by Giant in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward-sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit. INTERNAL SEATPOST CLAMP A lightweight, all-internal seatpost locking mechanism provides confident clamping force with clean performance and aesthetics. OVERDRIVE Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, this fork steerer tube technology uses 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. POWERCORE A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive side and stability on the non-drive side. VARIANT SEATPOST This proprietary seatpost design optimizes the balance between a lightweight and superior ride quality, with simple adjustment to enhance the total race performance of the Langma road range. TUBELESS SYSTEM Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits. 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 steering and pedaling stiffness.

TRUE CYCLING EXPERIENCE. Not every cyclist wants to push their body to the extreme, trying to fit on a bike that was designed for the pro peloton, so we went back to the drawing board for the Pinarello X and designed a new geometry that offers all-day comfort without renouncing our legendary performance DNA. Thanks to a combination of specifically-selected materials, unique geometry, and a truly innovative rear-end, the Pinarello X strikes the perfect balance between reactivity, performance, and comfort. CARBON T600 UD A comfort-optimized carbon fiber structure with an unidirectional finishing that absorbs all road vibrations for a pleasurable and comfortable ride. ASYMMETRIC FRAME PINARELLO X For first Pinarello understood that, while the thrust applied to both pedals is the same, the pull on the chain applies to the right side only. For this reason, all frames are optimized to compensate for these unbalanced forces. ONDA FORK A distinctive Pinarello Technology since 2000. The shape of the fork delivers precise turning abilities, stability, and reduction of longitudinal and lateral shocks. FLEX STAYS An exclusive Pinarello design that absorbs vibrations without reducing the responsiveness of the rear triangle

Handcrafted with Advanced-grade composite material, the Defy Advanced is made with a specific carbon layup to give it an efficient, high-performance ride quality that helps you push new limits of endurance.

A tubeless Giant WheelSystem and tires boost speed and efficiency with a reduced risk of flats. And for added control, it features integrated disc brakes with flat-mount disc brake tabs and 12mm thru-axles.

Ideal for both epic solo adventures and group road rides, the Avail Advanced is lightweight and comfortable.

HAUL ASS, NOT CARGO A new breed of rider is emerging-one who loves the freedom and exploration that gravel culture was founded upon but who has a hunger to ride hard, to go all out, and to explore not just geography but personal limits. This frontier requires a new kind of gravel machine, one engineered not to roam the trails, but to race them. For these athletes, we engineered Aspero for pure, unapologetic speed, ready to take down finish lines, KOMs, PRs, and FKTs. A bike built without limits, for the riders looking to test them. It's stiff, Classics-racing stiff, and performs like you'd want a road bike to perform off-road. We think that makes sense, and it's what we were trying to do when we were stuffing bigger tires into our existing frames and swapping in aftermarket forks to get a 40mm tire up front. The flip-chip in the fork-we call it the Trail Mixer-keeps the trail measurement consistent whether you choose 700c or 650b tires. This maintains the bike's personality and handling characteristics when you switch from mid-fats to full-fat. There are as many different ways to do gravel as there are gravel bikes these days, but if you're toeing the start line, looking to stay with the lead group, and contend for the victory, Aspero is the bike to get you there.

Our aluminum Trackmachine AL ONE is a complete track bike for all reasons. Tough enough to endure daily training sessions and refined enough for serious competition, it was born for the boards. Its Premium Aluminum frame benefits from Vmax Aero Design, and the Carbon fork features subA Aero technology.
