Key Performance Factors
Performance Mid Travel Trail
Constructed with lightweight and durable ALUXX SL-grade aluminum, the frame boasts integrated down tube storage — a sleek solution for additional space to store your tools and snacks. Paired with 140mm of Maestro rear suspension and 150mm of front suspension, you’ve got the ultimate trail bike that’s efficient on the ups and shreds on the downs.
Adjustable Frame Geometry
For ultimate adjustability, the Intrigue X features flip chip – Maestro 3 and the new flip chip – headset allowing you to customize the overall riding geometry to suit the trail, your riding preferences, and rear wheel choice*. Not only can you change the head tube angle, seat tube angle, and bottom bracket height — you can now adjust your headset position to achieve either a short, mid, or long reach. These fine-tuning adjustments optimize your riding position for better handling and stability, wherever your bike takes you. *Rear wheel size change available for M and L only
Best of Both Wheels
Frame sizes XS and S are solely designed for a MX configuration – 29-inch wheel up front and 27.5-inch wheel in the rear. This set up optimizes rear wheel travel, allows a playful and nimble rear end and a fast rolling, stable front end. Frame sizes M and L come equipped with 29-inch wheels up front and in the rear with the ability to run a 27.5-inch wheel in the rear*. This provides two unique riding characteristics – fast and comfortable or quick and nimble – allowing you to customize your set up for how and where you ride. *27.5-inch wheel sold separately for frame sizes M and L
ALUXX SL-GRADE ALUMINUM FRAMESET
MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages work together to create a single floating pivot point for the most active, efficient, and reliable suspension system.
ADVANCED FORGED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY
The upper rocker arm is crafted using Advanced Forged Composite Technology which offers increased stiffness, durability, and lighter weight.
OVERDRIVE
Our oversized fork steerer tube technology is specifically engineered to deliver precise front-end steering performance. With oversized headset bearings (1-1/2” lower and 1-1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube, this system works together to provide the ideal balance of steering stiffness and responsiveness.
TRUNNION MOUNT
Integrated shock mount produces a lower leverage ratio for increased pedaling and braking efficiency.
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY
The flip chip – Maestro 3 allows you to quickly adjust the frame geometry to match your riding style and rear-wheel size choice. It includes two flip chips: a high/low chip and a mid-position chip. Transitioning from low to mid changes the seat tube and head tube angles by 0.4 degrees, and from mid to high by 0.3 degrees. The bottom bracket height adjusts by 5mm between the three positions.
ADJUSTABLE REACH
The flip chip – headset features two different “chips”, or headset cups, placing the headset/reach in either a -5mm (short), 0mm (mid), or +5mm (long) offset position. This allows you to customize the bike’s reach to suit your preference and individual fit.
MX CONFIGURATION
Frame sizes XS and S are solely designed for an MX configuration – 29-inch wheel up front and 27.5-inch wheel in the rear. Frame sizes M and L come equipped with 29-inch wheels up front and in the rear and can accommodate a 27.5-inch wheel in the rear.
GIANT TRA WHEELSYSTEM
This tubeless wheelsystem features lightweight alloy rims with Wide Guard technology, providing a 30mm inner rim width and a sturdy 5mm sidewall for enhanced durability and puncture resistance, while supporting lower tire pressure for improved grip and control on rough terrain. Maximum tire size is 2.5 inches.
BOOST HUB SPACING WITH UDH COMPATIBILITY
Boost 15x110 [F], 12x148 [R] hub spacing, combined with Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility, enhances stiffness, trail handling, tire clearance, and drivetrain durability.
FRAME MOUNTS
Underneath the top tube, discover a set of frame mounts to secure a compact gear bag — perfect for must-have tools or snacks.
INTEGRATED DOWN TUBE STORAGE
Open a latch on the down tube to reveal an internal compartment that contains a water-resistant bag where you can store essential items including an inner tube, CO2 cartridge, tire lever, snacks, or a multi-tool.
INTEGRATED FRAME PROTECTION
The drive-side chainstay and down tube are equipped with frame protection to guard against rocks and debris, while a clear 3M protective strip on the upper part of the down tube safeguards the frame during shuttle vehicle transport.
EXTRAS
Internal cable routing, integrated cable ports, and water bottle cage mounts on all frame sizes.
