This all-new technology allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry and choose a rear wheel size for their riding style and terrain.
It is available on select Maestro-equipped mountain bikes. The adjustment affects head tube and seat tube angles, bottom bracket height, and rear-wheel size using eccentric flip chip hardware located on the upper rocker arm of the rear suspension.
Giant's High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in their own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
A state-of-the-art high-pressure molding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fiber components that are lighter, stiffer, and stronger than similar components made from aluminum. This technology is used in critical performance parts such as Maestro Suspension rocker links.
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages all work together to create a single floating pivot for the most active, efficient, and independent suspension system on the trail.
Giant's original oversized fork steerer tube technology is designed to provide precise front-end steering performance. The system's oversized headset bearings (3.2cm (1 1/4") lower and 2.8cm (1 1/8") upper for road, 3.8cm (1 1/2") lower and 2.8cm (1 1/8") upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
