Balanced handling
Comfortable
Stable but still quick
Tyres lack sense of speed but are very grippy
Mar 2024 · Sam Challis
While many of the big brands are turning their endurance road bikes into more rugged ‘all-road’ bikes, Giant has gone
Comfort
Light weight
Lively ride feel
Easy handling
Expansive spec range
Size range could be wider
Proprietary steerer limits stem choice
Oct 2023 · Mat Brett
Light and superbly comfortable endurance bike in a super-high build, but look lower down the range for the best bargain
Excellent frameset
Comfortable
Light
High-end spec
Not many people will spend this amount
Tweaked geometry won't suit all
Sep 2023 · James Huang
Giant’s fifth-generation premium carbon fiber endurance road bike, updated with a lighter chassis, additional tire clearance, and a more refined ride quality.
Impressively lightweight
Composed ride quality
Quick handling
Some semblance of cockpit customization
Looks brilliant.
Composed-but-not-cushy ride quality
Handling is arguably too quick
Questionable wheelset spec
Still a proprietary stem.
