D-Fuse Technology The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther faster. OverDrive Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance the system’s oversized headset bearings 1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. Compact Road Design Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube from the headtube to the seattube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit. Tubeless System Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
