Giant FastRoad AR Advanced 2 Bike
The Giant FastRoad AR Advanced 2 gives you carbon speed with the confidence of a flat bar.
The FastRoad AR Advanced 2 is a flat-bar all-road fitness bike for riders who want road-bike pace without dropped bars. It rewards fast Valley loops and long stints on the L.A. River path with a light, lively ride. If you crave speed but value control and comfort, this is your bike.
It's right for you if:
You want the quickness of a road bike with an upright, controlled position.
You ride for fitness and want to feel every watt move you forward.
You mix smooth pavement with rougher roads and want wide-tire clearance.
You're stepping up from an alloy fitness bike to real carbon.
Why you'll love it:
The composite frame dampens road buzz so long rides stay comfortable.
Its light weight makes accelerations and climbs feel effortless.
Hydraulic disc brakes give you sharp, all-weather control at speed.
Room for wider tires means grip and comfort on chewed-up streets.
The tech you get: a Giant Advanced-grade composite (carbon) frame, all-road tire clearance, a road-focused drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and fast 700c wheels.

Highlights
350g Lighter Than Alloy
The Advanced Composite frameset weighs 350 grams less than the aluminum version. That's noticeably quicker off the line and up every grade you hit.
Flat-Bar All-Road Position
Flat-bar geometry sets you upright for sharp control and easy sightlines in traffic. Fast enough for a fitness loop, comfortable enough for the daily grind.
High-Volume 40mm Tubeless Tires
Tubeless Maxxis Re-Fuse 40c tires roll fast on tarmac and stay planted on gravel and broken paths. Lower pressures smooth the ride and keep flats at bay.
D-Fuse Comfort Details
The composite D-Fuse seatpost flexes to cut road buzz, and the ErgoContact saddle supports you mile after mile. Small touches that pay off on long days.
Confident Disc Braking
Tektro hydraulic discs with 160mm rotors give you strong, predictable stops. Brake late and hard whether the road is dry or soaked.
Wide-Range CUES Drivetrain
A single-ring CUES setup with an 11-48 cassette covers steep climbs and quick flats. Clean, simple shifting with no front derailleur to fuss over.
