Giant XTC Advanced 29 1 Bike

The Giant XTC Advanced 29 1 is the featherweight hardtail that makes climbing addictive.

The XTC Advanced 29 1 is a carbon cross-country hardtail for riders who want raw efficiency, snappy acceleration, and race-day speed. With no rear suspension to slow it down, every watt goes to the trail, perfect for punchy climbs and fast fire roads in the foothills above the Valley.

It's right for you if:

• You want the lightest, most efficient way to climb and race XC.

• You love a direct, connected feel and low-maintenance simplicity.

• You're a racer or fitness rider chasing fast times on smoother trails.

Why you'll love it:

• The Advanced-grade carbon frame is light and stiff, so sprints and climbs feel electric.

• The hardtail design sends every pedal stroke straight forward.

• A cross-country suspension fork takes the edge off the trail while keeping things efficient.

• Big 29-inch wheels carry momentum and smooth out rough ground.

• Hydraulic disc brakes give you sharp, confident control on fast descents.

The tech you get: an Advanced-grade composite frame, a cross-country suspension fork, a 1x wide-range drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and fast-rolling 29-inch wheels.

Highlights

Carbon Hardtail Efficiency

The Advanced-grade composite frame turns every pedal stroke into forward drive. With no rear suspension to eat power, this is the bike for riders who want to feel the trail and fly on the climbs.

Fox 32 Step Cast Fork

100mm of lightweight Fox 32 SC travel smooths the front end without adding bulk. The two-position remote lockout lets you lock it out for smooth climbs and open it when the trail turns technical.

Deore XT Drivetrain

Shimano's 1x12 XT group is race-level shifting: crisp, reliable, and wide-range with a 10-51T cassette. You've got a gear for the steepest wall and one for the fastest fireroad.

Deore XT Hydraulic Brakes

XT stoppers deliver strong, predictable braking with an easy lever feel. On a fast hardtail, that control lets you carry more speed into corners and trust the bike to slow when you need it.

Carbon 29 WheelSystem

Giant's XCR 2 carbon wheels are stiff and light, so the bike accelerates hard and tracks true. Maxxis Rekon Race rubber keeps rolling resistance low without giving up grip.

Dropper-Ready Trail Manners

A Giant Contact Switch Core dropper post drops the saddle on demand, giving this XC hardtail the versatility to handle steeper, rowdier descents than its race pedigree suggests.
