High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory. The mainframe and rear swingarm are handcrafted with monocoque construction for optimized stiffness-to-weight and an ultra-responsive ride quality. The new frameset is 297g lighter, with 6-percentage torsional and 10-percent pedaling stiffness improvement.
Cross-country is evolving beyond fast-and-flowy to fast-and-everything—technical terrain, all-day epics, and stage races. The new Pique Advanced 29 is …ready for it. Reengineered for greater efficiency and control, this XC queen was built to slay switchbacks, rock gardens, and yesterday’s PRs.
Key Performance Factors
EFFICIENCY IS SPEED
Now 297g lighter*, the Advanced-grade composite frameset also features greater stiffness for efficient power transfer, a massive advantage on climbs and at speed. New FlexPoint Pro suspension minimizes weight by minimizing parts. And a shorter chainstay offers greater agility for maneuvering switchbacks, and snappy acceleration for seizing every overtake opportunity. *Compared to previous generation
CONTROL IS POWER
With its patented, linkage-driven, single-pivot design, the new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 115mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel, so you can maximize power and traction over ever-changing and uber-challenging terrain. Combined with a slacker head tube angle and 120mm of front suspension, this setup ensures you're equipped to dominate technical descents.
STABILITY IS MASTERY
Roll over just about anything on 29-inch wheels designed for stability and efficiency. Updated geometry provides a longer reach, putting you in a lower and more aggressive body position. A steeper seat tube angle increases pedaling efficiency on even the steepest climbs. And the modified cockpit includes a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem for steering precision.
ADVANCED-GRADE COMPOSITE FRAMESET
FLEXPOINT PRO SUSPENSION
FlexPoint Pro is a cutting-edge rear suspension technology designed for cross-country bikes, characterized by its patented, linkage-driven, single-pivot system that provides 115mm of active rear-wheel travel. This innovative design minimizes weight and isolates forces, leading to improved control, increased traction, and more efficient power transfer. This translates to less fatigue, consistent performance across varied terrains, and an enhanced ability to tackle challenging climbs and technical descents with confidence and speed. Learn more!
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.
ADVANCED FORGED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY
The upper rocker arm is crafted using Advanced Forged Composite Technology which offers increased stiffness, durability, and lighter weight.
POWERCORE
The massively oversized bottom bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 92mm bottom bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
29-INCH WHEELS
Featuring 29-inch wheels with 2.4-inch tire clearance for maximizing speed, acceleration, and maneuverability.
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.
COMPOSITE WHEELSYSTEM
Lightweight, stiff, and durable carbon wheels and tubeless tires deliver race-ready efficiency and precision handling.
INTEGRATED CABLE PORTS
New design for internal cable routing offers a clean look and performance for derailleur, brake, and dropper post cables and housing.
CUSTOM CHAIN GUIDE
All-new Giant/MRP chain guide reduces the chance of the chain falling off the chainring on rough, technical XC terrain.
DOWN TUBE PROTECTION
The 3M clear foil down tube protector is a durable adhesive film that safeguards your bike's down tube from scratches, rock chips, and debris damage, ensuring a pristine appearance and increased longevity.
CHAINSTAY PROTECTION
The chainstay protector is a durable cover applied to your chainstay to prevent damage from chain slap and other impacts, ensuring a quieter and more secure ride.
