Giant 2026 XTC SLR 29 2

Aluminum Performance, Carbon Speed

High-Performance XC, Accessible to All.

The Giant XTC SLR 29 2 is the choice for riders seeking carbon-level performance with the durability and value of advanced aluminum construction. Crafted with Giant’s premium ALUXX SLR Grade Aluminum, this frame is the lightest aluminum hardtail Giant produces, featuring meticulously hydroformed tubing that provides outstanding stiffness and a race-ready weight. Finished in the stealthy Thundercloud color, it’s built to fly under the radar until you drop the hammer.

Core Performance Features

• ALUXX SLR Frame: Giant's lightest and highest-performing aluminum frame technology, delivering responsive handling and efficient power transfer comparable to composite models.
• Race-Ready Suspension: Equipped with the Giant Crest 34 RRL fork, you get 100mm of travel with a remote lockout, offering quick transitions and confident control over rough terrain.
• Proven 1x Drivetrain: The reliable Shimano Deore M6100 1x12 groupset provides a massive gear range (10-51T cassette) to tackle the steepest climbs and maintain speed on the flats, ensuring consistent and precise shifting.
• Tubeless Wheel System: Rolling on strong Giant XCT 29 Alloy rims and Maxxis Rekon Race tires (2.4" front, 2.25" rear), the bike comes tubeless-ready, maximizing grip, comfort, and puncture resistance right from the start.

Get the edge without the carbon price tag. The XTC SLR 29 2 delivers everything you need in an aggressive, high-performance hardtail, making it perfect for marathon racing, competitive training, or fast trail exploration.
