OverDrive – Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
FlexPoint Rear Suspension – This proven "single pivot" design uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 120mm (4.7") of rear travel.
Suntour Raidon R Shock – Uncomplicated and lightweight, the Raidon R is a great shock for XC and trail riding.
Shock Adjustments – Air Spring Pressure / External Low Speed Rebound Adjust

Maxxis Rekon Front Tire – The Rekon is an aggressive trail tire inspired by the Ikon for intermediate and technical terrain. Wide knobs down the middle provide control under braking and L-shaped side knobs assure support when carving loose turns. With confidence like this you can race more and scout less with the Rekon.
Maxxis Ardent Race Rear Tire – The Ardent Race tire from Maxxis is ideally suited for technical XC race courses and endurance-length events. With its medium-height tread, the Ardent Race bridges the gap between the XC-oriented Ikon and the trail-oriented Ardent. The center knobs are ramped to reduce rolling resistance, and the side knobs are angled and stepped to provide great biting traction in corners. Choose the Ardent Race for your next demanding XC race or epic trail ride.
