BUILT FOR RACERS OBSESSED WITH SPEED, PERFORMANCE, AND CONTROL, THE NEW PIQUE ADVANCED SL IS ENGINEERED TO DELIVER. COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK SEAMLESSLY TOGETHER AS ONE OPTIMISED SYSTEM. THE 120MM SINGLE-PIVOT FLEXPOINT PRO REAR SUSPENSION IS NOW SEMI-INTEGRATED WITH YOUR TOP TUBE FOR A LIGHTER, MORE EFFICIENT RIDE. AND THE FLIP CHIP LETS YOU ADJUST YOUR GEOMETRY FOR THE COURSE AHEAD AND THE FIRE INSIDE.


KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

Built for speed
The new Advanced SL-grade composite frame is the lightest we've ever designed, achieving exceptional stiffness-to-weight so every pedal stroke returns power almost effortlessly, for swift and decisive acceleration and climbing. Tuned specifically for XC racing, the reengineered FlexPoint Pro Suspension is lighter, more compact, and more responsive.

Built for performance
The Pique Advanced SL is designed as a single optimised system. The new one-piece handlebar-stem with fully integrated cable routing keeps things light, clean, and responsive. Giant WheelSystems with Wide Guard rims give you robust sidewalls so you can run lower tyre pressure for extra grip and puncture protection.

Built for results
The updated FlexPoint Pro suspension system offers 120mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel, paired with a 120mm fork, giving you the control and stability you need when things get technical. The two-position flip chip lets you adjust your geometry for the perfect handling for the course. And the suspension lock-out provides hardtail-like efficiency when you're climbing a hill or a podium.


EVERY DETAIL HAS A PURPOSE

Discover the key features and technologies that make the new Pique Advanced SL faster, lighter, and built to perform when every second counts.

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

FlexPoint Pro Suspension
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.

Advanced Forged Composite
A high-pressure moulding process produces a complex shaped carbon-fibre upper rocker arm that's lighter, stiffer and stronger than an aluminium version.

Adjustable Geometry
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.

OverDrive
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system's oversized headset bearings (1 1/2 lower and 1 1/8 upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

Megadrive
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 pedalling response.

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

Integrated Cockpit
Bikes feature either the carbon Contact SLR XC or alloy Contact SL XC integrated handlebar-stem. Both share a 780 mm width, -8degree stem angle, 9degree backsweep, and 2degree 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.

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

Wide Guard Rims
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 tyre sidewall cuts. This design allows lower tyre pressures for better traction and fewer pinch flats.

Ratchet Drive System
A 10 degree 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 3degree engagement for instant response and precise power.
