Highlights

Advanced-Grade Composite Frame and Fork

One of the lightest framesets in its class, engineered for endurance road riding that stays comfortable for hours. It absorbs road shock so you ride stronger and longer.

D-Fuse Compliance Technology

The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar flex to take the edge off rough surfaces, cutting fatigue on extended rides. Comfort that lets you keep your hands relaxed and your legs fresh.

Shimano 105 12-Speed Drivetrain

A full 12-speed 105 groupset with an 11-36 cassette gives you smooth shifting and a wide gear range for climbs and rollers alike. Dependable performance ride after ride.

Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Hydraulic discs with 160mm rotors deliver strong, controlled stopping in any conditions. You brake later and with more confidence, wet or dry.

Contact D-Fuse Bar with 8-Degree Flare

The ergonomic flared drops give you a secure, natural grip for long rides and loose surfaces. Better control from asphalt to cobbles.

Wide Tubeless-Ready Wheels

The Giant P-R1 alloy wheels clear high-volume tubeless tires up to 38mm for predictable handling on any road. Lower pressure means more grip and fewer flats.
