Pique Advanced SL 3

Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in Giant Group’s composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.

Engineered for XC efficiency, control, and responsive handling, this 120mm single-pivot system is semi-integrated beneath the top tube with a full-composite swingarm to minimize weight while maximizing traction on technical terrain. Unlike other single-pivot designs, FlexPoint Pro isolates suspension performance from frame flex, eliminating unwanted resistance so every bump is absorbed exactly as intended. The result is smoother small-bump sensitivity, more consistent control, and a more efficient ride.

A high-pressure molding process produces a complex shaped carbon-fiber upper rocker arm that’s lighter, stiffer and stronger than an aluminum version.

A two-position flip chip lets you adjust frame geometry and fine-tune the handling to match your riding style and terrain. The High setting steepens the head and seat tube angles and raises the bottom bracket for sharper, more aggressive handling, while the Low setting slackens the angles and lowers the bottom bracket to add stability and confidence on high-speed, technical descents.

Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 ½” lower and 1 ⅛” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

A significantly oversized down tube and top tube work together to deliver exceptional front-end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered rectangular down tube improves steering precision and pedaling response.

A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated, 92mm-wide design for maximum pedaling stiffness and power transfer. Asymmetric chainstays boost driveside rigidity and enhance stability on the non-driveside.

Bikes feature either the carbon Contact SLR XC or alloy Contact SL XC integrated handlebar-stem. Both share a 780 mm width, –8° stem angle, 9° backsweep, and 2° upsweep, providing full internal cable routing for a clean, race-focused setup. The 780 mm width delivers confident control on technical courses and can be easily cut for a custom fit.

The integrated XCR and XCA WheelSystems and tires deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.

Hookless rims with a 30mm inner width and robust 5mm rounded-edge sidewalls are engineered to deflect angled impacts and reduce the risk of rim damage or tire sidewall cuts. This design allows lower tire pressures for better traction and fewer pinch flats.

A 10° helical interface between the hub and ratchet rings ensures smooth, consistent power transfer while reducing stress on internal components. The 120-tooth helical ratchet rings deliver rapid 3° engagement for instant response and precise power.

Sizes S, M, and L feature space for a second water bottle with integrated seat tube mounts giving you more hydration options for long XC rides and marathon events. Size XS fits a single 750 ml bottle, making the most of available space.

A sleek, top-cap mount integrated into the one-piece handlebar-stem keeps your device centered, secure, and easy to read for a clean, streamlined cockpit.
