Features:
Exclusive premium 6011A alloy is used throughout the frame
Benefit:
This all-new proprietary alloy material creates the highest strength-to-weight ratio for the lightest, strongest aluminum frames Giant has ever produced.'
ALUXX SLR
Giant's lightest, state-of-the-art aluminum frameset technology featuring our highest strength-to-weight ratios, most advanced forming methods, and unique welding techniques
Materials
- Exclusively features 6011A alloy for unprecedented strength-toweight ratio
Forming methods
- State-of-the-art butting results in 20 percent thinner (and lighter) tubes than ALUXX SL
- Features extensive FluidForming (sophisticated manipulation of tubeset shaping via an injection of high-pressure fluid) and some PressForming (basic manipulation of tubeset shaping via direct mechanical pressure)
Welding techniques
- Features both Smooth (double-pass weld technique with hand-sanding to reduce stress risers) and Slim (custom-fit tube junctures to decrease weld material) welding techniques for minimal weight, maximum strength and the cleanest aesthetics
