Description
Built on an ALUXX SL aluminium frame, the Fathom 29 features updated geometry that produces a stable ride quality for challenging XC trails. The frame is optimised for a 130mm suspension fork for smooth control on the descents. An updated Giant WheelSystem comes with tubeless tyres already set up, making it easy to experience added efficiency and control, plus a reduced risk of flats on technical terrain.
Key Performance Factors
Trail Tuned Design
ALUXX SL aluminium frameset is hand-built in-house by the world leader in aluminium engineering.
Responsive Handling
Frame geometry is designed to optimise the balance and roll-over capabilities of 29-inch wheels.
Smooth Control
More relaxed frame geometry (compared to XC) and control-focused components deliver added control for trail riding conditions.
Technologies
ALUXX SL Aluminium Technology
This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminium material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for high-performance ride quality.
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.
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.
