Overdrive 2:
As the first manufacturer to bring the tapered headtube to market - with the 2006 Glory mountain bike - Giant knows a thing or two about inventing solutions for improved steering precision. The original OverDrive technology resulted in groundbreaking stiffness-to-weight ratios, and now Giant is doing it again with an all-new standard: OverDrive 2.

Maestro Suspension:
From Gravity off-road riding to XC/Race there’s a Giant Maestro Suspension bike to suit every riding style. The standard-setter for modern bicycle suspension, Maestro is the full-suspension platform used on every Giant performance mountain bike. Ranging from 4 to 8 inches of travel, Maestro improves the ride on any type of trail.

ALUXX SL:
Extremely lightweight framesets featuring high-performance strength-to-weight ratios.

G2 Geometry: Conventional wisdom says 29ers have sleepy handling compared to 26" wheel bikes. We solved that with G2 Geometry, featuring a custom-offset fork and advanced frame geometry for precise handling at low speed without compromising high-speed stability. It’s why Trek 29ers handle better than any others.

E2 Tapered Headtube: E2 is the evolution of the traditional 1-1/8" headset to a tapered head tube, fork, and headset system. E2 tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper headset to provide more material where it matters most, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame with point-and-shoot control.

Alpha Platinum Aluminum: Our premium lightweight aluminum is continuously cold extruded and butted at multiple points for ultimate weight reduction and superior strength. Frames built with Alpha Platinum are hydroformed to create the most sophisticated shapes for the lightest weight, and are finished using Trek's smooth-weld finishing process.

Press-Fit Bottom Bracket: Press-fit BB is a bottom bracket shell that allows the bearings to press into the frame rather than threading in as on standard bottom brackets. This provides a wider stance for the frame’s tubing juncture, resulting in a stronger frame. This wider stance also mimics the benefits of an OCLV Carbon-only technology, BB95.

Gary Fisher Collection: Innovative bikes imagined by Gary Fisher, built by Trek.

Closed Convert Dropouts: Hardtails offer the robust performance of a closed thru-axle system with the convenience of a system that can accept 142x12 or 135x5 rear spacing.
