Giant 2026 XTC Advanced 29 1

Zero Compromise. Maximum Velocity.

Built for riders who demand the best, the new Giant XTC Advanced 29 1 stands at the pinnacle of hardtail cross-country performance. Featuring the same incredibly light and efficient Advanced-Grade Composite frame, this model steps up the game with race-winning componentry designed to shave seconds off your personal best. The stunning Abyss Black/Steampunk finish ensures you look as professional as you perform.

Race-Winning Features

• World-Class Suspension: Experience ultimate control and lightweight performance with the Fox 32 Step-Cast Performance fork. Featuring 100mm of travel, the proven GRIP Damper, and a remote lockout, it offers instant adaptation to any course condition.
• Shimano XT Group: Benefit from the gold standard in mountain biking reliability and precision. The full Shimano XT M8100 1x12 drivetrain provides lightning-fast, crisp shifting and powerful modulation from the matching XT hydraulic brakes.
• Carbon Wheel Advantage: Rolling stock is key to speed. The bike is equipped with Giant XCR 2 Carbon Hookless rims—lightweight, stiff, and featuring a 25mm inner width—to maximize the contact patch and stability of the fast Maxxis Rekon Race tubeless tires.
• Dropper Post Equipped: Unlike traditional purebred XC hardtails, the Contact Switch Core Dropper Post allows you to instantly lower your center of gravity on steep descents, giving you a competitive edge and boosting confidence when the trail turns technical.

Step onto the podium. The XTC Advanced 29 1 is your ultimate tool for cross-country domination, offering a sublime blend of light weight, explosive acceleration, and unparalleled control.
